HP Color Inkjet cp1700d Printer

The HP Color Inkjet cp1700d is a higher end wide format photo printer for businesses and an update to the original cp1700. The PC and MAC compatible cp1700d still offers presentation quality text, graphics, and photo prints of up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolutions, although there’s a slight frequency for minor color error at times. Being a wide format printer the cp1700d allows for printing on a variety of printing surfaces from matte to cardboard up to 13 x 19 inches. The only major addition (aside from the price) is the automatic duplexer which creates double sided documents. The printing speeds are still mediocre, with an average top speed of 14 pages per minute. The cp1700d uses a 4 individual color ink cartridge system (HP 10 Black, HP 11 Cyan, HP 11 Magenta, HP 11 Yellow ink cartridges) which leads to better ink efficiency and cost effectiveness. Overall the HP Color Inkjet cdp1700d is a good choice for offices and businesses with the need for professional quality presentation printing, but you should only spring the extra money for this model if you really need the duplexer.
