HP Q6998A output stacker 1600 sheets

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The HP Q6998A output stacker is one of those “nice to have” accessories that makes a real difference when you’re running high-volume print jobs and you can’t afford staff time babysitting output. If you’re feeding it with a compatible HP printer and you regularly produce batches that need tidy stacking (reports, statements, managed print runs), it helps keep pages aligned and reduces the faff of manually sorting. At **£1,369.99 ex-VAT**, though, the price is the main sticking point—this isn’t something you buy for occasional use or small offices. You need the volume and the workflow to justify it.

Who should buy: teams doing frequent mono/colour document runs, print rooms, or anyone whose output handling is currently slowing things down. Who should avoid: single-user desks, light printing, or environments where you already have decent stacking/finishing in the printer or via cheaper alternatives—because you’re paying a premium for a peripheral that only earns its keep if you’re consistently producing lots of pages. If you can’t confidently say you’ll hit that regular throughput, I’d rethink it, because the cost-to-benefit drops fast.
