our Verdict
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f is an excellent printer for business, thanks to its impressive monochrome printing speed of 30 ppm and color printing speed of 12 ppm, which rank in the top 5% for the category. It has competitive running costs of just 2.3 cents per page, and its good printing abilities for documents and photos make it an all-around excellent business printing solution.
A built-in automatic document feeder and generous 300-page paper tray, which can be expanded to 850 via an optional accessory, make easy work of bulk jobs.
It has all-in-one functionality, scanning at up to 600 x 600 dpi resolutions. If you want to explore the differences between an all-in-one printer and a single-function printer, check out our detailed article. Users with limited space may find its bulky 51.2-lb design challenging, though.

Both the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f and the HP LaserJet Tank MFP 2604sdw are all-in-one multifunction printers with LaserJet technology. However, due to its color printing abilities, the MFP M480f is the better option for photos. The Tank MFP 2604sdw is a monochrome model with SuperTank technology, resulting in much lower printing costs per page. If you prefer a smaller home or office printer, consider our Canon PIXMA MG3620 review.

While the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f and the Brother HL-L2325DW are LaserJet printers, the HP device is much better. It’s capable of color printing, scanning, and copying. The Brother model prints in monochrome only and lacks scanning and copying functions. If you prefer something that can print directly from a USB drive, see our Canon imageCLASS MF753Cdw review.
