HP introduced a multifunction color laser jet printer for businesses—the HP Color LaserJet 4730. The machine costs $4,999, a price HP says is half that of competing multi-function printers. It prints in both color and black and white at 30 pages per minute.

The company also introduced printers aimed at small- to medium-size businesses, including the HP Color LaserJet 4700, starting at $1,999. It prints up to 31 pages per minute in color and black and white.

In addition, the company said, it is starting to offer printing service contracts for small- to medium-size businesses, via the Web. Through one contract and a flat monthly fee, customers will get hardware, repair services, preventive maintenance, network installation and a guaranteed quantity of toner cartridges. HP Smart Printing Services will be available Nov. 1.

First thoughts on this product, estimated cost per copy for toner only is .08483! Items that the customer may have to buy is the fuser and ADF mylar kit which will add to the cpc. No 11 x 17 scanning,printing and copying.

HP continues to develop MFP's with no 11 x 17, are they on to something? Charge to network install and train is $449. Charge for "Digital Send" is $5,499.

No index paper, heaviest weight is 32lb bond, no two sided copying, however there is two sided printing. ADF is only 50 sheets. Key speed is upto 30 pages per minute, slow 533 MHX processor, 256MB and 40GB Hard Drive.

Scanning, looks like TWAIN only out of the box, user will have to add digital send for Scan2email and Scan2folder.

Warranty, one year on-site nextday, limited warranty.

Track color use by job, by user, and by device. HP Web
Jetadmin’s Report Generation Plug-in generates real-time
and periodic usage reports that make it easy to track color
use by job, by user, and by device. Plus, it allows you to
easily allocate costs to individual departments.

User also has to purchase transfer, I could not get a yield on this product, cost is $199.

User has to replace fuser, cost is $249, I could not get a yield on these either.

Can someone help with yeilds for the fuer and the transfer. Any additonal information on the warranty and what service contracts are going for would be helpful.

Everyone: The new HP 4730 can duplex copy, has color scan to e-mail (as does the HP 4345) out of the box, comes loaded up with a full set of toners. The toner price on HP's web site is not where the customer gets toner...lower cpp than what is shown on the site. This is a new hp motor. We have one in our office and it runs great and puts out good to great quality. The first copy speed is fast and the machine runs at full speed when you turn up the resolution. Color copying is ok, not great. The base model sells for around $4,999 plus shipping. The machine does come with Pcl 5 and 6, and PS3.
