Best Mono Multifunctional Printer – HP LaserJet M426DW

HP have stated that the HP Laserjet M426DW multifunctional printer is the “leaner, smarter, faster way to print.” It is an all-in-one device that is designed to print, copy, scan and fax without the wait. You have our assurance that if speed is top of your requirements for a printer, the M426DW doesn’t disappoint.

Connectivity

The printer has wireless technology enabled – increasingly an essential feature for the modern office.  You can use the HP e-Print app (a cloud-based app that allows you to print securely if working on the go).  You can also simply connect using WiFi and send documents directly to the printer using a variety of devices, including a tablet or smartphone.

Print Speed, Paper and Functionality

The HP LaserJet M426DW prints up to 40 pages per minute with the initial page print taking approximately 5 seconds.  The printer also offers efficient duplex printing so no more waiting around to print tricky two-sided documents. The M426DW also offers duplex scanning, protection of sensitive documents and files, fax facility and can hold 250 sheets of A4 paper as well as catering for other print media such as envelopes. The simple-to-use 7.6cm LCD touch pad ensures fuss-free printing, scanning and copying so that you don’t have to spend ages organising and processing documents.

Cartridge Costs

The HP M426DW MFP accepts the HP CF226A and CF226X laser toner cartridges (standard and high yield versions).  The OEM (original) cartridges cost between £100-£155 – depending on whether or not you opt for the high capacity toner.  However, if you were to opt for a recycled CF226A or CF226X, you would be making a £100 saving on your print costs, which is a significant amount whether you are an individual printing from home or an office team.

Verdict

The HP LaserJet M426DW mono printer is a robust and high performance printer in a compact package.  This multifunctional printer is ideally suited for a medium-sized busy office environment.  Its simple functionality, wireless technology and print speed can easily meet the demands of high-volume printing without compromising on quality.
