COLOUR LASERJET

HP Color Toner Cartridges

The HP family of colour laser printers is now very extensive, it ranges from the small desktop Color LaserJet 1600 suitable for the small office/ home market up to the current 5550 model which is a wide format, network printer capable of serving large workgroups. If you are using one of these machines in your work you will find cartridges compatible with it in this section.

Most HP color LaserJet printers have a central drum unit and individual colour toner cartridges rotate round this unit, laying colour down on the page one at a time, this involves the drum unit making four rotations, one for each colour. Some modern small HP colour printers have now incorporated a drum unit into each cartridge, allowing the page to pass through all four colours in one movement, expect to see more units in the future adopting this method. The advantage is that each time the toner is replaced so too is the drum, allowing consistant quality for the life of the cartridge. Colour cartridges vary greatly in the yield you can expect, from 2,000 pages right up to 12,000pages for larger printers, it is worth bearing in mind that these figures are worked on a low percentage of page covour, so if for example you are printing documents with a great deal of photographs or other heavy graphics, this figure will be greatly reduced.

Cartridge Concept are aware that this can lead to a high cost in printing documents and strive to bring you the best possible value when purchasing replacement cartridges, good value can be found by purchasing all colours together in a Value Pack nd this will also ensure you will always have a spare colour cartridge to hand when you run short in the middle of that important print run. For the cost conscious we have also developed a rang of compatible cartridges sutable for use in many HP color printers.

Remember we only stock either HP original cartridges or compatibles for your HP printer that have been fully certified for use in your printer. Each of these compatible cartridges has undergone a thorough examination and constant testing to ensure that the quality of print and page yield matches that enjoyed by the OEM. We have been using HP printers in our own office for the past 15 years and our advisors are familiar with all aspects of their operation and are happy to assist you with any questions you may have.
