Speed, versatility and productivity are at the top of any user’s list when looking for the perfect multifunction printer. But if you’re a smaller business or workplace, you may be under the impression that acquiring all three is out of your price (and square footage) range. This no longer has to be the case, however, with the HP M281fdw, which offers printing, scanning, copying and fax capabilities all from one surprisingly compact machine and at a more than affordable price point. It also offers the fastest double-sided, first-print page speed in its class and an average print speed of up to 21ppm in both colour and black and white.
Design
The HP Colour Laserjet Pro MFP M281fdw measures approximately 420 x 421.7 x 334.1mm and weighs roughly 18.7kg. This thoroughly modern multifunction printer also comes with a 2.7-inch colour touchscreen display panel that looks, feels and works very much like a smartphone or tablet and should feel instantly familiar and easy to use for anyone with such devices. This style of control panel also makes it easier to change, manage or amend jobs while they’re in progress, which can help with workflow and productivity. The HP Colour Laserjet Pro MFP M281fdw features a clean, simple design and a smart, white finish that will match any office décor.
