Hewlett-Packard has announced a new series of laser jet color printers. The new HP printers offer more color options than older models by up to 20%. The HP Color LaserJet printers for businesses are the Color LaserJet 4200/4300, Enterprise 5000/6000, and X500/X600 series. The new printers use TerraJet Toner with less plastic packaging and more printable colors.

The new HP lineup of color laser jet printers will serve the color printing needs of businesses of various sizes. HP says its new TerraJet toner results in energy savings of up to 27% and uses 78% less plastic packaging than current models. The LaserJet 4200/4300 comes with improvements from the Laser Jet Pro series and provides for two-sided color printing and scanning.

The HP Smart Admin Dashboard can control several printers centrally and the new models are 25% faster than older models. The printers also feature HP Wolf Security tools to help reduce misprinting large batches. The HP 5000/6000 and X500/X600 printers are designed for larger businesses. They are capable of redacting and markup of a document without a PC instead of using controls on the printer.

The HP Color LaserJet printers 4200/4300 series will be available in the US in June and could cost up to $700. The HP Color Laser Jet Enterprise 5000/6000 and X500/X600 models are already available, priced from $1,050. There are scant global availability details for the new HP color laserjet printers at this time.
