What Owners Are Saying?

Canon i-SENSYS LBP623Cdw

MarketingMaverick ★★★★☆

"Color quality is stunning for client pitches. It is quite a heavy unit, mind you—needed a proper sturdy shelf for it. Cost-per-page is much better than my old inkjet."

HP LaserJet Pro M404dn

Oliver ★★★★★

"The industry standard for a reason. Fast first-page-out and the Wolf Pro Security gives us peace of mind with client data. Sorted."

Emma R. ★★★☆☆

"Hardware is brilliant but the HP Smart software can be a bit of a faff sometimes. Great for office networking if you have a proper IT guy to set it up, but might be overkill for a casual home user."
