"Bad Electrostatic Transfer Belt Engineering Design":
I have had 5 HP printers in the past 12 years, 2 of them using HP Color LaserJet technology. The 3600n and the 1518ni have both suffered electrostatic transfer belt failure. The 3600n failed twice during a 14 month life cycle with minimal use and the 1518ni failed during installment a few minutes out of the box. I don't recommend HP Color Laser technologies at this time but do recommend their Black and White laser technology. I do have 2 black and white laser printers that are working very well.

Picture perfect quality!:
This is one amazing color laserjet - probably one of the best bang for the buck you can find among all color laser printers. I had recently bought this printer in order to print out more than 2,500 color pages (10 copies of my Ph.D. dissertation). I needed the best quality print-outs since I had a lot of pictures and artwork within my document. As a result, I had to buy a printer that was of high quality but also reasonably priced since I'm on a budget - and I wasn't disappointed at all! Upon installing the software, I was already amazed by the test print out. The printed picture on standard multipurpose paper looked as if it was taken from a profesionally printed photograph. The text was crisp, and the colors were bright! In terms of print-out quality, this is by far one of the best printers you can find. As for some technical specs, the printer does print 8 ppm, so depending on your needs, this may be good or bad. It does offer USB or Ethernet connection which is extremely convenient. The best thing is that no matter how large your document is, it prints within 30 seconds upon hitting the print button on your computer (and this is when I run my HP on a shared network). However, buyers beware - I have had some difficulty installing the complete HP software since I am running Vista on PC. It took a little longer than I wanted, but I was able to get everything installed at the end of the day :) Overall, no other printers can beat this one, and I highly recommend this printer to those who demand high quality prints from a printer that is economically priced!

Bought it ... and exchanged it for the Xerox 6130:
The printer had been purchased as a replacement for a 20-year old HP Laserjet III. My expectations of the new printer had been tempered; however, the product proved more disappointing than I could bear. The unit was of flimsy build quality. Print quality was poor. There were numerous stray streeks on the printed pages. HP's once legendary service branch was of no help. I exchanged the printer for a Xerox 6130 -- WOW, what a difference!! I've been burned enough times with HP products during the last few years that it comes easy to write that this printer may well have been my last HP purchase.

HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni Printer:
Excellent Value on an excellent printer! I needed color copies for my product sales and the copies I printed off my website looked as good, or better, than the originals! Would have no qualms about recommending this printer!

Best service your money can buy:
Fast delivery for a superb product. That's the comment I can give from ordering HP printer from Amazon.
