HP excels in real-world performance scenarios. As you evaluate performance, remember that performance is more than engine speed. You should consider all of the variables, including time to warm up from powersave mode, total time to print, and results when printing complex documents.
HP internal testing shows that the HP LaserJet 4250 and 1320 as well as the HP Color LaserJet 4650 and 2550 printers can warm up faster from powersave mode than comparable Dell printers, as this graph illustrates.*
Wait less for long print jobs
HP internal testing shows that on long print jobs, the 22-ppm HP Color LaserJet 4650 can print 206 pages in the time it takes the 25-ppm Dell 5100cn to print 145 pages, as this graph shows.
Your total print time decreases with the HP Color LaserJet 4640 because it performs a 6-second cleaning cycle every 50 pages as compared to the Dell 5100c, which enters a 30-second cleaning cycle every 17 pages.
Expect reliable results from HP when printing complex documents
Today's complex business documents require a consistent and predictable output each time you print them. In HP internal testing, the Dell 5100cn had 41 failures from memory errors, firmware issues, paper jams, and parts requiring replacement in 7,521 pages vs. only 17 failures in 17,350 pages for the HP Color LaserJet 4650.* On average, the Dell 5100cn failed 5.45 times every 1,000 pages as opposed to the HP Color LaserJet 4650, which only failed .98 times every 1,000 pages, as this graph illustrates.
* Both printers were tested using best print quality settings.
