WINNER HP Colour Laser Jet Pro MFP M479fdw

BEST WORKGROUP OFFICE PRINTER

A laser-based printer, the HP Colour LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw is of fairly standard size and weight for office deployment, which means it does take up space so it’s less suitable for those with small offices. One of its highlight features is the 4-inch LCD touch display. The screen was large enough to have a QWERTY keyboard on it. The menus are also straightforward and can be easily navigated.

We also liked the Wi-Fi connectivity options offered. It was one of the few tested that had 5GHz connectivity with no problems detecting our wireless networks in the test lab (as opposed to some of the contenders that could only latch on to the 2.4GHz network). It can print in full colour or monochrome at close to the stated 30 pages per minute and can auto-scan two-sided documents, thanks to its autodocument feeder.

We liked the speed of the printer, with the HP Colour LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw being the fastest printers we tested. It was the fastest to print the first page and also our test document set. It was easily the fastest we tested and the results were not lacking in any way.
