If your company needs a color printing solution, but you haven't yet found a networked color laser up to your standards, you'll love the new HP Color LaserJet 8500 Series printers. These printers are ideal for all your departmental color printing needs from marketing to CAD, creative and finance. They quickly and economically print up to 12- by 18.5-inch output on both sides of the page, and can print on a wide variety of media including glossy and card stock. This makes them ideal for marketing proposals, slide presentations, brochures and more. Best of all, they're easy to support and maintain. The only difference between and 8500 and the current model called an 8550 is the CPU speed on the formatter. The 8500 uses a 133 MHz CPU the 8550 uses a 200MHz CPU. Both use Adobe PostScript 3 and PCL 5c. Color pages print at 6 ppm and black and white pages at 24 ppm. An 8550 formatter can be used to upgrade an 8500 to be an 8550. The 500-sheet paper cassette is fully adjustable to all commonly used Domestic and International paper sizes: LETTER, LEGAL, A4, B4, 11x17, and A3. There is also a 100-page multi-purpose tray that can be used for other sizes of paper. The basic HP ColorLaserJet 8500 can be upgraded to be the same as an 8500N, or 8500DN with accessories also available from us . For example, The 8500N comes with the popular J3113A 10/100 JetDirect network print server card installed, which can be purchased for the 8500. See table below for specific model specifications.
