The HP Color LaserJet CM4730 Printer

The HP color LaserJet CM4730 printer is certainly not a low-priced multifunction printer. In fact, it's probably one of Hewlett-Packard's more expensive offerings, but most people who have given it a try will say that the cost is definitely worth it for a printer, scanner and copier that does everything this machine is capable of.

Evidence of how really functional the 4370 is comes once one starts considering just its monthly duty cycle. This comes in at a sterling 175,000 impressions, which is superior by a great deal over many other multifunction or all-in-one printers out on the market nowadays. The monthly duty cycle has to do with how many sheets of paper the printer can print on before needing any sort of required or scheduled maintenance.

When it comes to print speeds with the 4370, it is nothing short of outstanding in both monochrome and color. It is capable of producing about 31 pages in a minute in both black and white or color, which is something that most other multifunction printers around the same price cannot come close to matching what this Hewlett-Packard can do without even batting an eyelash.

When acting in its copy machine capacity, the Hewlett-Packard 4730 performs just as well as it does in its print mode. It can take a document and enlarge it up to four times the original size while also being able to reduce it down to one quarter of its original size. There's also automatic two-sided printing available and it can produce almost 1000 copies per job.

Print resolution with the 4730 is excellent, coming in as it does at 600 dots per inch across-the-board. This means that print product will look uniformly sharp and clear and without evidence of any blur or smudge in the vast majority of cases. It makes use of one of Hewlett-Packard's proprietary image enhancement technology tools to accomplish all of this.

Standard memory comes to its owner at 448 MB of RAM, which is very nice. The 4730 can also support up to 576 MB of memory and it has a very nice 40 GB hard disk drive to handle all of the document storage needs that a workgroup or network making use of this machine might have. It'll also be very easy to hook this unit up to a workgroup or network, because it features high-speed USB, parallel and Ethernet wired connectivity capabilities.

In terms of the number of operating systems that the 4730 can make use of, there are quite a few. This includes almost any type of Windows-based Platform (Including Vista) as well as Linux, UNIX, IBM OS/2 and several others. There is a one-year, on-site warranty and the printer and copier can hold 1600 sheets of paper while also printing out on a wide variety of media types.

As far as what one might pay for the HP Color LaserJet CM4730 printer, it's for certain that this is no cheap machine. At present, it lists for between $4100 and $5000.
