Reliable, versatile, and built for business - the most common choice for SMEs.

HP Business Printers

Who They’re For

Freestanding A3 multifunction printers (MFPs) are the most popular category for small to medium businesses with shared print needs. These machines are ideal for:

  • Offices with 5–20 staff

  • Teams needing secure printing, scanning to email/cloud, and more advanced workflows

  • Businesses ready to lease a printer as part of a managed service

  • Anyone frustrated by constant (and expensive) toner changes, jams, or slow print speeds in smaller devices

Why They’re the Go-To Choice for Most Businesses

These printers are designed specifically for business environments. They strike a balance between performance, size and cost, and come with a wide range of optional extras.

Key benefits & options:

  • Fast print speeds (25-45 ppm common)

  • A4 and A3 printing

  • Duplex scanning, advanced finishing (e.g. staple, booklet), secure print release

  • Larger paper capacity and extra trays

  • Compatibility with user authentication, mobile print, and cloud workflows

  • Available in colour and mono options

You’ll find these in all kinds of workplaces – from legal firms and real estate agencies to schools, medical clinics, consultancies and trades-based offices – basically anywhere that depends on regular printing, scanning or copying.

Typical Price Range

  • Purchase price: $3,500–$7,000+

  • Lease from: $90–$140/month

  • Often bundled with servicing, toner, support and delivery in a managed print agreement

Things to Consider

  • May require more space and floor access – not suitable for tight work-from-home setups

  • Larger than desktop devices, but usually quieter and more efficient

  • Entry-level freestanding models may offer fewer finishing options than enterprise-class units

Our Recommendation

If your business has 5 or more users or prints more than a few dozen pages per day, a freestanding A3 device is usually the best long-term value option. With low running costs, improved uptime, and scalable features, these machines are designed for business.

💡 Looking to lease? This is the most commonly leased printer category across all industries. Suppliers can usually deliver, install and manage these devices as part of a monthly agreement with support included.
