    CNET Review

    May 10, 2005

    The Good: Very good prints; easy to use; digital memory card slots; network ready; automatic document feeder; Mac and PC support.

    The Bad: Merely fair color scans; noisy when printing; slow color print speeds; limited paper handling.

    The Bottom Line: This truly business-friendly color laser multifunction can seamlessly replace the army of devices in your office.

    Review Summary: Though it's capable of producing quality prints, the 2840's niggles cripple its print performance making it unsuitable for demanding environments.

    Review Summary: The media card slots and the extensive image software make the 2840 attractive for offices that print lots of photos, but its pokiness and mediocre image quality will incline many prospective buyers to steer clear.

    Review Summary: Hewlett-Packard got almost everything with the HP Color LaserJet 2840 All-in-One. Output quality is among the best we've seen for a color laser at any price, and the scan, fax, and copy features cover all the important bases.
