Canon i-SENSYS LPB246dw II

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Canon i-SENSYS LPB246dw II for £187.30 ex-VAT is one of those “good enough to be boring” office printers — in a good way. If you want reliable, frequent document printing for a small team without fiddling around, it generally fits the bill. Canon’s laser print approach tends to be cheaper-per-page than inkjet when you’re printing actual volumes, and the whole experience is usually more consistent for letterheads, proposals, invoices, and forms than inkjet “we’ll do it when we can” workflows. If your environment is mostly single/double-sided business docs, this is the sort of unit that won’t cause drama.

That said, it’s not for everyone. If you mostly print photos, marketing graphics, or you’re after sharp colour-heavy output, a laser isn’t the bargain route and you’ll feel the limitations. Also, if you’re printing very sporadically, you may still find better value elsewhere (because consumables and maintenance cycles don’t love low usage). Buy this if you need dependable mono printing with low admin effort; avoid it if your main job is colour or infrequent printing where you’re trying to minimise upfront and running costs at the same time.
