When buying your own printer for your business, more things need to be considered compared to buying printers for your home. Depending on your business, your working area may be limited and even if you found yourself a good printer that fits, you will still need room for a scanner and copying machine to perform other core functions for your business. Purchasing these devices individually are not only expensive, but the space they take up is simply too much. Even if your office space has all the required room, usability becomes a frustration especially if different brands are purchased and workflow can be a bit reduced.



A multifunction printer can save setup time and energy while ensuring that the productivity flow is fluid. Of course this depends on the manufacturer of the multifunction printer, but if you decide to get an HP multifunction printer, you should be in pretty good hands because HP multifunction printers are the one of the best printers for business because of these reasons.

Small, but Excellent Selection of Multifunction Printers

There are currently 6 modern HP multifunction printers that are recommended for business environments and they can range from around £300 to £5,000 which is a decent range that can suit any business size.

Feature-rich Budget Models

The 2 budget models available which are both HP colour laser multifunction printers are highly compact and both serve the roles of a printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine. The CM1312 which is the least expensive model has two variations with the other having special features including an LCD screen and network connectivity which is excellent for a compact machine.

The CM2320 model is a bit bigger, but still maintains a compact look boasting additional memory, faster print speeds, and a multipurpose tray. This model has a variation as well that adds memory card slots to the unit.

Versatile Midrange Models

The CM3530 is around four times as expensive as the CM2320, but the size difference isn't that much, but the print quality is much better and the overall performance of the other functions greatly enhanced. The multipurpose tray and input tray can hold more sheets and the variation has a stapler feature.

The HP CM4730 takes a bigger form costing nearly double amount of the CM3530, but has multiple sheet input trays for long term printing tasks. These midrange models are excellent for multiple users in a small or medium business.

Powerful High-end Models

The HP Colour LaserJet CM6030 and CM6040 MFP Series are similarly sized when compared to the CM4730, but they both have premium features including an 80HB hard disk which is unique for a printer. Now business users can not only print, but store backups of printed files and virtually any other media that can be accessed via network or USB. The top model which is the CM6040 has a similar set of features with even faster printing speeds of both colour and mono.

All of these HP printers in their price range are powerful in their own right and have their quality evenly focused on the printing, scanning, and faxing capabilities. Their variations give even more options of consumers to find the best printer they need for their business.
