Since writing this review, I've found that the thicker the stock, the less consistent the colors print.

if you know of an amazing workhorse color laser that can do that, drop me a line

Once you buy normal cartridges for the defective colors, the printer prints just fine

Pros - speed for monochrome pages is good - two paper trays allows us to have two different kinds of paper (labels, forms, etc) in place - print quality is good - color reproduction is good enough - setup was easy - the touch-screen interface is useful - the printer seems to cache rasterized pages in memory, so even if the first page takes 5 minutes to print, a second copy prints in seconds - auto-duplexing works

i got a lot more mileage out of than initially posted), but the main caveat is that if you're going through a ream of paper a semester like i am printing color slides and the like, that essentially means a new set of HP410x toner cartridges every semester, which at a low price estimate (if you time it strategically on amazon) of ~155/cartridge x 4 ends up being a healthy $620 in toner each semester

Great color printer at a great price

The color is accurate, and produces good, clean images

That said, once you learn how to manage this printer the prints are incredible, and colors are vibrant and details cannot even begin to be matched by comparably priced laser printers.

Although I miss my all in one this is the best color printer I’ve ever owned

Color was great and just what I wanted

Prints amazing color prints

The color is great to have as well for that occasional red or yellow highlight on some documents.

I have had it for three weeks, prints excellent color, fast.

Color is excellent

It works well, is super fast, and has a good color spectrum, but I was a little disappointed when I realized that it couldn't print on photo paper

The colors are vibrant and lines crisp.

get the best colors printing from acrobat with adobe rgb profile (can adjust in properties at the time of printing

It gives great imaging in crisp colors, it's fast, maybe a bit

By looking at the Print Quality Page you can notice that not all colors have this wavering problem

Not only does it have great output quality (the colors are fantastic out of the box and can even be calibrated to be even more accurate!

The print quality is very good and color is outstanding.

So far so good, sharp color - very nice!

The colors are better and the print speed significantly exceeds that of my old printer

It prints beautiful color documents

It is misprinting weird color marks all over our pages

Great color printer for the office.

The pages are very crisp and the color is wonderful.

Touchscreens have been around for 35 years and HP looks like they went for nice color but cheaped out on performance and reliability on this one
