HP ColorSphere Toner

A brilliant history in color printing

From our first introduction of chemically grown toners in 1998 to our newly designed ColorSphere toner, HP continues to set the pace in the printing industry with advancements in toner technology that deliver superior print quality, consistency, and proven reliability. Our commitment to quality combined with our patented toner technology ensures that our toner improves with each generation, delivering professional, high-quality color documents with consistent, true-to-life colors for marketing materials, presentations, brochures, and all of your business printing needs.


Peak productivity and consistent output, page after page

The technologies in the newly formulated HP ColorSphere toner give it an edge over the previous formula?with more color intensity, a broader range of colors, and 30 percent1 more gloss. The overall formulation is also balanced to ensure consistent results from one cartridge to the next. HP ColorSphere toner is designed together with the printer, enabling the system to produce outstanding image quality for every element of the page, whether text, graphic, or photo image. A broader range of more intense colors makes a big difference in overall print quality and realistic photos. Details are clearer, text is sharper. And the subtle differences in color provide more lifelike flesh tones, shading, and gradations. These vibrant, eye-catching colors are complimented by the higher levels of gloss delivered in our latest formulation.

The art of color



Proven reliability with patented toner technology
In recent testing conducted by QualityLogic, Original HP Color LaserJet print cartridges proved to be significantly more reliable than remanufactured brand cartridges tested. In fact, HP?s success rate in producing high-quality pages was 98 percent. This means much more productivity and much less time fixing paper jams, reprinting smeared documents, and replacing failed cartridges. Print cartridge reliability is critical to your bottom line, and with original HP printing supplies, as a part of the HP printing system, you?ll get a great return on your printing investment. Consider that in a typical office only 10 percent of office printing costs relate to equipment, supplies, and service expenses. The other 90 percent goes to IT support and infrastructure, procurement and facility costs, end-user interaction time and document management expense.

A complete environmental solution
Our newly formulated HP ColorSphere toner enables sophisticated cartridge technology that uses less energy while printing consistent, high-quality results at faster speeds. From design to manufacture to recycling, HP has a certified environmental management system and has been widely recognized as a leader on enviro nmental solutions. In fact, HP was named one of 10 corporate ?Green Giants? in the world by Fortune magazine.3 Since 1992 we have made HP LaserJet print cartridges easier to recycle by reducing the average number of plastic resins used in our monochrome print cartridges by more than 50 percent. We?ve also reduced the average number of component parts by more than one third. And, when you?re ready to recycle your cartridges, it?s easy and free with the HP Planet Partners program. HP never refills, resells or sends print cartridges to a landfill.

Precise toner placement



A closer look at gloss and gamut
The more completely and uniformly color toner fuses to the paper, the higher the gloss, and the more consistent gloss appears when colors transition from one to another across the page. Our latest formula ensures reliable, smooth flow of toner onto the page by optimizing toner particle size and system performance, resulting in smooth color transitions and increased color consistency. HP ColorSphere toner delivers a wide range of rich, vivid colors for professional, high-impact business communications. You?ll get vibrant, realistic images with more subtle shadows and smoother color gradations. And, according to the Pantone Institute4, color improves brand recognition by 80 percent and readers are up to 78 percent more likely to remember a message in color than black and white.
