HP LaserJet Color 550-sheet Media Tray

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The HP 550‑sheet media tray is one of those “boring but genuinely useful” accessories that only becomes obvious once you’re living with it. If you’re running a busy office where printers are constantly being reloaded with letterhead, pre-printed forms, or a mix of paper weights, having a dedicated tray is a quality-of-life upgrade. The workflow is cleaner, less error-prone, and you’ll spend less time babysitting paper—especially if different users keep swapping paper types.

That said, £220.20 ex‑VAT is a pretty hefty price to pay for what is essentially a paper drawer. I’d only recommend it if it fully matches your existing HP LaserJet setup (so it actually integrates properly) and you truly benefit from keeping a second paper type loaded. If you only print the occasional batch, or you’re happy loading manually, you’ll likely get better value elsewhere—time and hassle don’t justify the cost. For anyone managing high-volume or multi-paper printing in a UK office environment, though, this is the kind of accessory that pays back fast by reducing interruptions.
