If you think colour laser printing has to be expensive, take a look at HP's newest range of LaserJets. The Color LaserJet Enterprise M553dn uses completely redesigned toner cartridges that incorporate the company's new JetIntelligence technology, designed to reduce running costs to an all-time low,...

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x Review

The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x is fast, with features galore, a high paper capacity, and very good output quality. But some businesses might not want to pay the high price for more features than they need. As the flagship model in Hewlett-Packard's 500 series of workgroup color laser printers, the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x ($1,199) is a formidable machine. Among its virtues are very good speed, voluminous standard paper capacity, Wi-Fi Direct and NFC connectivity, and above-average output quality. This goodness comes at a high price, though. If you don't need all the M553x's features, you may be better off getting a more economical variant that eschews what for many businesses may be overkill. Design and Features The M553x measures 22.9 by 18 by 18.9 inches (HWD), so you'll want to put it on a table of its own, and it weighs 73 pounds, so you'll need two people to move it. One of its two large paper trays is packaged separately, and you have to set the tray down first and then delicately align the printer on top of it until the printer snaps into place. The standard paper capacity for the M553x is an immense 1,200 sheets, split between two 550-sheet trays and a 100-shee...

HP Colour LaserJet Enterprise M553x review: New toner tech delivers the goods

A lot has been written about the wisdom, or otherwise, of HP's planned corporate split , putting enterprise hardware and services together under one brand while creating a separate company for PCs and printers.

"Enterprise," of course, means busy, or relatively high-volume-a whole lot of printing going on. When I wrote this, the M553dn was on sale for $200 off, or $599.99. In either case, a single-function printer would need to be special in one way or another to justify either price, but of course it's a...

The HP LaserJet Enterprise M553x provides good speed and solid output quality in a color laser built for high-volume printing but comes at a higher price tag

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553dn

The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553dn ($599) leaves off a few of the extras found in the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x -the new high-end model in the company's 500 series of single-function color laser printers -but it comes in at a much more moderate price.

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x

This classy, feature-rich printer is fast and cheap to run, and won't be beaten for its extensive print-management tools.

This is an amazing product. Simple instructions.

I used the literature and CD that came with the product and the printer was up and running in a matter of minutes. The iphone and ipad print to it wirelessly and the office computers print though the network connection.

Pricey toner undermines this otherwise excellent single-function LaserJet, which is competitively fast and prints well (surprisingly so, with photos).
