So which is right for your business?

You might be wondering which printer wins our round-up. Realistically that answer depends heaviliy on what your specific needs are, but for us, we love the HP PageWide since we’re keen on new printing tech.

What we have here is a line-up of printers that showcase the different types of technology available to buyers. But perhaps the biggest talking point is how despite the dream of a “paperless office” how much companies have invested in making paper more efficient in the workplace.

HP’s PageWide technology for instance looks at offsetting costs by not just addressing the cost of toner but also maintenance. It’s important to remember that if a printer is at the centre of your workflow goes down so does productivity, HP’s solution addresses that by using fewer moving parts.

Of course maintenance is not the only concern as businesses become ever more digitised. In instances such as that HP shines again offering up a variety of ways to print that don’t rely on direct connections to the printer and allows users to print from the cloud or using the NFC connectivity on their smartphone.

The failing of the PageWide however is that is just a printer with no fax, scan or copying functionality.

For that reason we must award the title of best printer to the Canon i-Sensys MF628Cw.
While it isn’t as revolutionary as the HP, Canon’s printer has all the functionality we feel is necessary in an office printer in 2017.

Fast ethernet, good printing capabilities, a great scanner and the ability to handle a large workload mean that when you are shopping for a printer the Canon i-Sensys MF628Cw should be your benchmark against which all other printers are measured.
