At CopierChoice, we get asked this all the time: Which printer brand is best for business?
The truth is, there’s no single answer. Every brand has its own strengths depending on what you print, how much you print, and what you expect from your machine. A model that’s perfect for a design agency could be a poor fit for a warehouse or school office.
Below we’ve outlined eight of the most common commercial printer and copier brands used by Australian businesses, and what each is generally known for.
Canon
Canon’s business printers are widely regarded for their sharp image quality and consistent colour. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE and DX series produce professional results and offer seamless cloud integration through uniFLOW.
Strengths: excellent colour accuracy, broad product range, reliable performance and strong document-security options.
FujiFilm
FujiFilm (previously Fuji Xerox) remains a major player in Australia’s commercial print market. Its devices are built for speed, colour consistency and enterprise-level workflows. The Apeos series offers excellent image quality, strong cloud integration and one of the most stable driver ecosystems in the industry.
Strengths: reliable high-volume performance, outstanding colour management, advanced workflow automation and a strong national service network.
Konica Minolta
Konica Minolta’s bizhub range is built for busy offices that print all day. These machines are quick, dependable and easy to use, with a large touchscreen interface that staff pick up instantly.
Strengths: consistent high-volume performance, robust security, smooth integration with document-management systems and an extensive Australian service network.
Ricoh
Ricoh has a reputation for automation and smart connectivity. The IM C series features an intuitive touchscreen and strong security tools, making it popular with growing organisations that need centralised fleet control.
Strengths: simple operation, flexible finishing options, good cloud connectivity and easy remote management.
Toshiba
Toshiba’s e-STUDIO models are built for speed and versatility. They handle mixed workloads easily and integrate well with modern digital-document systems used in education, logistics and healthcare.
Strengths: strong productivity, durable build quality and competitive leasing and support programs.
Kyocera
Kyocera focuses on longevity and low running costs. Its ECOSYS technology uses long-life ceramic drums, which means fewer part replacements and less waste over time.
Strengths: low total cost of ownership, strong environmental credentials, excellent reliability and minimal consumable waste.
Sharp
Sharp machines are designed for ease of use. Large touchscreens, fast startup and efficient toner systems make them ideal for teams that just want to press print and get on with their day.
Strengths: user-friendly design, quick warm-up, energy efficiency and comprehensive security features.
HP
HP is one of the best-known enterprise printing brands. Its LaserJet Enterprise and PageWide models are built for reliability and come with some of the strongest data-security tools on the market.
Strengths: wide service coverage, excellent security, dependable performance and easy fleet management for larger organisations.
Epson
Epson’s WorkForce Enterprise range has changed how people think about business inkjets. These high-speed machines rival laser printers for performance while using far less power.
Strengths: low energy consumption, fast first-page output, minimal maintenance and solid colour performance.
How We Assess Printer Brands
Our insights come from thousands of CopierChoice quote requests across Australia, combined with supplier feedback and what we see in real-world performance. We don’t sell or service the equipment ourselves, so our focus is helping you understand which brands tend to fit different business environments.
When comparing options, think about:
your typical monthly print volume and duty cycle
whether you print mostly colour or mono
cost per page over several years, not just the purchase price
local availability of service and parts
energy use and waste if sustainability matters to your business
