Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At around £2,128 ex-VAT, this HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5800f is only a “yes” if you genuinely need an all-in-one that can handle heavy document workflows—proper print volume, multi-function duties, and busy office life. The Enterprise line is usually more about reliability and paper handling than flashy features, and the fact it’s built for printing/copying/scanning/fax with an ADF is exactly the kind of setup that pays off in real admin, legal, finance, or shared services environments. If you’ve got teams feeding lots of multi-page docs through every day, this is the sort of machine that tends to stay out of your way, which is where the value is.

Where I’d hesitate is if your usage is light or you mainly print occasionally—then you’re paying “enterprise money” for capabilities you won’t exploit, and colour laser running costs (and consumables logistics) can bite if you print mostly black-and-white or small volumes. Also, don’t underestimate total cost of ownership: a machine like this can be great value only when it’s deployed where it’s used frequently, and when you’ve factored in the cartridge situation (TerraJet included) and service approach. Buy it if you’re an office that will actually use the scanner/fax/ADF every week; avoid it if it’s for a quiet desk, sporadic printing, or you’d rather keep the spend lower and the ecosystem simpler.
