Our Verdict

HP PageWide Pro 577dw

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw

The HP PageWide Pro 557dw and the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw are both fantastic office printers. The LaserJet Pro is a laser printer, while the PageWide uses a combination of laser and inkjet technologies. The PageWide yields significantly more pages at a much lower cost-per-print and its input tray holds more than half the amount of sheets the LaserJet Pro can. However, the LaserJet Pro has a flatbed scanner with a higher color depth, which is important if your job includes retouching scanned photos.
