Powerful, professional color laser printing  
for your business. 
 
 
 
Fast, exceptional color output 
With HP’s in-line color printing, you can print professional 
color documents as quickly as black-only documents—up to 
27 ppm. Experience dramatic improvements in print quality 
with HP’s ImageREt 3600, an HP proprietary printing 
solution. Most high-resolution technologies cause degradation 
in printer performance due to increased data transmission, 
but HP’s innovative technologies achieve equivalent or better 
print quality without such tradeoffs. 
The following printing system technologies work together to 
automatically deliver the best possible output for all of your 
documents: 
• 
The high resolution laser imaging system creates 
near-photographic quality images. 
• 
The print mechanism’s design results in excellent uniformity 
and color plane registration. 
• 
HP’s industry-leading image enhancements deliver 
excellent tones, sharpness, and clarity. 
• 
Intelligent color controls produce color that is the same—
page after page—over printer life. 
• 
Special printing modes provide excellent gloss matching, 
so that the shininess of the printed image matches the gloss 
of the media. The printer’s image mode is optimized for 
image printing with HP Glossy Photo & Imaging Laser 
Paper.

variety of working environments.

HP color management tools 
The HP color access control solution makes color printing and 
copying more affordable than ever by helping you control 
who uses color and when they use it: 
• 
Assign color access to specific users or workgroups. Use 
either your printer’s embedded Web server or HP Web 
Jetadmin’s fleet configuration capability to designate who 
has access to color printing. That way, people who truly 
need color—such as your sales team and marketing 
department—can use it.  
• 
Assign color access by application. Designate certain 
applications for printing color and others for printing black-
and-white to ensure that users only print color on their most 
important print jobs and that other printouts—such as Web 
pages—are always black-and-white. 
• 
Shut down color completely or temporarily disable color 
capability. 
Disable color printing on shared printers—
locking out all individuals and workgroups—so you can 
save your color resources for special projects or seasonal 
needs. HP Web Jetadmin’s Print Driver Pre-configuration 
Plug-in lets IT Administrators set users’ print settings to 
control color printing by print queue. 
• 
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.
