HP Color LaserJet 5550DN Printer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have been using this at our office as a netwrok printer for a year and a half. Mostly for documents, charts and company resumes.
Pros:
-The color laser printout of images is very good even on a regular copy paper. You get better results using bright white photo paper. We have not to try it on a glossy paper yet but it can. But just don't compare it with an inkjet yet.
-Printing color images even for a full page is amazingly fast. Approximately mere 5 seconds per full color page.
-Compare to an inkjet, laser printers are much economical on ink. Inkjets are notorious for selling you the unit almost at a giveaway price and then selling a full set of replacement ink for the same price as the printer itself.
-Multiplatform. Windows and Mac
-Duplex printing.
-It can print up to 11 x 17 paper.
-The warm up time, around 15 secs is decent
-The spec claims a duty cycle of 120,000 pages per month. We are printing around 5000 pages a month.
Rooms for improvement:
- Speed can be improve on the black and white printouts.
- Can be made smaller. 28W x 25H x 23D is a huge footprint .
- Price can go lower.
