HP, the old-school IT behemoth, has recently announced a revamp of its Color LaserJet printer series aimed at lowering both energy use and physical waste. The business claims that these printers save energy usage by up to 27% while reducing plastic packaging components by 78%.
The reduction in energy use is due to HP’s unique TerraJet laser toner, which the firm claims is engineered for optimal sustainability. The new HP TerraJet cartridges that come with these printers have a smaller carbon footprint than predecessors while providing a 20% boost in printed colours. HP also claims that these printers have been rebuilt for speed, so anticipate a 25% increase in print speed.
These printers are classified into two types. The HP Color LaserJet 4200/4300 is intended for use by small enterprises and remote employees. They have a compact design (albeit not as tiny as other HP laser printers), two-sided colour printing, two-sided colour scanning, preconfigured HP Wolf Security features, and the HP Smart Admin Dashboard for making changes on the fly.
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise 5000/6000 series, on the other hand, is designed for high-volume business printing. To that aim, you may conduct some minor editing on printed documents directly from the device, without the need for a Laptop. The touchscreen and analogue controls allow you to highlight, redact, and modify documents, and HP claims that these printers have the “fastest A4 laserjet speeds” available.
These enterprise-focused printers also integrate HP Wolf Security standards and an updated document digitization toolset that decreases misfeeds automatically, resulting in higher accuracy when doing big batch scans.
HP claims the 4200/4300 will be available in North America on April 1st, with worldwide availability by the summer, with the most costly configuration costing $700. The 5000/6000 corporate printers will also be available in North America on April 1st, with a gradual worldwide deployment beginning in Asia and continuing throughout the month. These printers begin about $1,050.
