HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 Printer M712dn

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re buying an HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 M712dn for the right kind of office use, it’s a solid “set it and forget it” workhorse. The big upside is reliability and print quality under steady volume—this isn’t a throwaway printer for occasional home-office printing, it’s closer to what you’d deploy across a team that actually prints day to day. At £1216.09 ex-VAT, it needs to earn its keep with consistent usage and ideally someone managing it centrally (fleet/printer policies, supplies planning, the usual). If you’ve got that environment—busy comms, document-heavy admin, accounts, logistics—this makes more sense than cheaper laser options that end up costing more in downtime and maintenance headaches.

That said, for many smaller UK businesses this price is hard to justify unless you know you’ll hit a decent print volume. If your output is sporadic, you’ll simply pay too much for performance you don’t use, and you’d be better off with a lower-cost laser and spend the difference on user productivity or service. I’d only recommend it if you’re specifically standardising on Enterprise-grade gear or you’re sensitive to uptime and long-term ownership. If you tell me roughly how many pages you print per month (and whether it’s shared across a department), I can give a more confident “yes/no” on whether this £1.2k model is value or just expensive paper insurance.
