Revolutionize printing in your workplace with this powerful
combination of fast Laser Quality Speeds

and low-cost color.
Laser Quality Speed
The Laser Quality Speed
8
specification helps customers make
a performance comparison between the print speeds of an
inkjet printer and a laser printer. HP’s Laser Quality Speed
measurement process is based on three important factors:
Speed measurements use comparable print qualities. (For
the HP Officejet Pro K550 series printer, the default plain
paper normal mode is used to generate the Laser Quality
Speed specification of up to12 ppm black and up to
10 ppm color. This is up to twice as fast as comparably
priced color lasers.

)
Speed measurements are done over a range of document
types and content.
The measurement process is designed to avoid the
influence of the host PC performance and to represent the
printer hardware, or print engine, performance.
Huge printing cost savings vs. laser
The HP Officejet Pro K550 series color printer can save as
much as $800 compared to color lasers at 500 pages per
month over 3 years!

Permanence
HP Vivera Inks are designed to provide businesses with
exceptional quality on plain office paper as well as excellent
photo printing on coated media.
When printed with HP papers and HP Vivera Inks, documents
can be archived for decades. The new dye-based color inks
are non-acidic, dry quickly, and deliver excellent fade
resistance. In fact, the inks resist fading due to light exposure
seven times longer than previous ink formulas on plain paper,
and perform even better on coated paper.
HP Advanced Paper with patented ColorLok™ technology is
designed together with HP printers and HP inks to produce
water-resistant documents that dry faster and deliver deeper
blacks and more vivid colors. With HP Advanced Paper, you
can handle documents sooner, and colors won’t streak—even
when exposed to water.
