HP LaserJet 500-sheet Input Tray Multi-Purpose tray 500 sheets

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £185.52 ex‑VAT, this sort of “HP-branded 500-sheet input tray” is only a good buy if you’re specifically trying to solve a day-to-day workflow problem: you’re running your printer a lot and you hate constantly refilling paper trays. In that scenario it’s a sensible, low-drama upgrade—clean fit, fewer interrupts, and it usually just works with the printer model it’s meant for (unlike generic trays that can be a bit hit-and-miss on compatibility).

That said, I’d hesitate unless you’ve checked the exact printer compatibility first. HP accessories are rarely universal, and if you’re buying without being certain it’s supported by your specific LaserJet, you risk ending up with an expensive paperweight. Also, if your team prints in small volumes or you already have spare stock/backup trays, the cost is hard to justify—£185.52 is a lot to spend just to avoid the occasional refill.

**Who should buy:** busy offices and IT-managed print setups where paper consumption is steady and downtime matters, especially where you need more capacity without changing print habits. **Who shouldn’t:** teams with light printing, anyone unsure about the exact model support, or buyers looking for a budget alternative—this is paying for “it just fits,” not value-for-money per sheet.
