HP Color LaserJet 1600

Description: The HP Color LaserJet 1600 is an 8 ppm, color laser printer.Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $285.This unit prints at 600dpi.

Pros: This printer supports color at a resolution of 600 dpi x 600 dpi.Holding 250 sheets without using optional trays, this printer goes longer between refills than many other printers.

Cons: Only prints at 8 ppm speed, which is slower than some similarly priced lasers.For example, the Lexmark C 534N, at around $300, prints at 22 ppm speed.This laser printer does not support two-sided printing.

Suitability: A color laser printer, suited for printing images, presentations, as well as documents in color.This printer is capable of accepting pages up to A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in).

Value: Overall, this laser printer's features seem very weak, even for its very inexpensive price.
