Evaluating color MFPs 9
Total cost of ownership
Choose HP’s most affordable color MFP
For many businesses, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is a critical part of the purchase decision. TCO takes
into account everything from the initial investment to support and maintenance costs. The HP Color LaserJet
CM1015/CM1017 MFP has a competitive purchase price and includes a number of features that add up to
significant cost savings over time. With printing speeds of up to 8 pages per minute (ppm) for both color and
black-and-white, plus integrated copying and scanning, this compact, elegant device transforms your desk into
a small office.
Cost-effective color laser printing
Color is proving itself as a business tool with a clear return on investment. Studies show that color improves
comprehension, increases readership, accelerates learning, and reflects a professional image. More than ever,
businesses are discovering a need to produce high-quality color documents. The HP Color LaserJet
CM1015/CM1017 MFP puts you in control of the color printing process:
• Create external communications in color for a professional appearance, such as letterhead and business
cards.
• Develop full-color marketing collateral that differentiates your business from the competition, such as
booklets, brochures, and flyers.
• Design more persuasive internal communications, including spreadsheets, reports, proposals, and
presentations.
• Print frequently updated materials in-house and make changes at a moment’s notice, reducing outsourcing
expenses, storage costs, and the waste of obsolete materials.
Maximize productivity
• Print economically. HP provides four HP Color LaserJet print cartridges with HP ColorSphere toner (cartridge
yields: 2,500-page black and 2,000-page cyan, magenta, and yellow
4
). The street prices and yields are
designed to maintain a low cost of ownership.
• Reduce maintenance time. HP printing supplies with HP Smart printing technology
2
are designed to
minimize user interaction, which saves time, improves productivity, and lowers overall printing costs.
• Expect a comfortable experience. Most office users prefer the familiar, intuitive HP interface, which requires
little or no training.
• Minimize user intervention. Add the optional 250-sheet input tray 3 for a total input capacity of up to 500
sheets. The additional input tray keeps your office productive and lets you store paper by size or type.
• Get investment protection with one open, industry-standard, 100-pin DIMM slot memory for a memory
capacity of up to 224 MB.
• Simplify your workflow. Powerful, flexible, and simple management tools save time and human resources.
