HP LaserJet Color 500-sheet Paper Tray

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £250.74 ex-VAT, the HP 500-sheet tray is only “worth it” if you’re sure you’ll actually run out of capacity frequently. In day-to-day UK office life, the value of an extra tray is less about the paper count and more about avoiding interruptions—especially if you routinely switch between letterhead, colour stock, or different weights. If your team prints a lot in bursts (accounts, HR, marketing packs) and you hate loading paper mid-flow, this kind of add-on can be genuinely practical.

That said, it’s also easy to overspend if you don’t have a clear workflow. If you’re mostly single-feed or low-volume printing, you won’t feel the pain this tray solves, and there are often cheaper alternatives (or you’d be better putting budget into reducing maintenance and consumables issues). Bottom line: I’d buy this only for offices using HP LaserJet color printers regularly who already understand they need more input capacity and can justify the cost versus simply reloading paper more often.
