HP Color Laserjet 3800N Printer

 

The HP Color LaserJet 3800n looks identical to the cheaper Color LaserJet 3600n, but it has a faster processor and more memory inside. It's also a true PCL printer and supports PostScript emulation, instead of relying on your PC's processing power to...

Above average printing speeds ; Small footprint

Average photos on plain paper

This model's small footprint, decent paper handling, and competitive costs per page make it worth a look. And it prints text faster than its less-expensive sibling does

GREAT PRINTER

 

PRINT QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, NETWORK CAPABILITY, EXTRA 500 SHEET PAPER TRAY WITH ABILITY TO SELECT DIFFERENT TRAYS.

3RD 500 SHEET PAPER TRAY PICKUP IS SOMEWHAT NOISY, BUT WORKS FINE.
