Best MFPs

Rating of the best multifunctional devices (MFPs)

Multifunctional devices are now becoming more popular due to their multitasking and relatively low cost. Even very small offices purchase such devices for production needs. And this is quite natural, because the MFP combines the functions of a printer, scanner, copier and fax machine, which makes everyday work with documents much more convenient than using each of the mentioned devices separately.

But the main advantage of the MFP is that it will cost the buyer much less than purchasing all these devices together. This aspect also pushes many people to buy MFPs for personal use.

Laser / For home / Black and white
The main advantages

MFP from a well-known brand, made with an emphasis on quality black and white printing. The Xerox WorkCentre 3025V_BI is capable of delivering 20 pages per minute with a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi. With such a device, you can print materials for which the clarity of small details is extremely important (texts in small print, diagrams, etc.).

The scanner has a lower resolution - up to 600x600 dpi, which is enough for any everyday tasks. The speed of digitizing one sheet is no more than three seconds.

The resource of the cartridge is relatively small - 1500 sheets, but when refilling with good ink, the print quality hardly suffers.

Wi-Fi performance is almost the same as a wired network, but setting up wireless printing, especially from mobile devices, is not easy.

  • High scanning speed
  • Inexpensive consumables
  • Fast wireless performance

The main advantages

An almost ideal device for office use. Prepares for work very quickly (19 seconds).

In addition to actually printing, copying or scanning documents, the MFP can work with a large number of formats and media, performing the functions of a small printing center. In particular, we are talking about borderless printing (including on very thick paper - up to 300 g / m2).

The cartridge capacity is relatively small - from 5,500 (color) to 15,000 (black) sheets, but when refilled, the print quality does not significantly decrease.

Advantages
  • Wide functionality
  • Fast scan
  • Ability to use heavy paper
  • Convenient touch display
  • Huge work resource;
  • Low cost of printing.

How to choose an MFP

For an office model, the most important quality is print and scan speed. If the throughput of the machine is 10 copies per minute, and you need to print 30, your office will simply stop. The resource of the cartridge also matters: if it is insufficient, you are tortured to go to refuel (this is not a household appliance for you, you cannot pour paint with a syringe).

For a home MFP, the most important is the cost of one printed copy. If it is significantly higher than the price of printing in specialized centers, it makes sense to buy a unit only for scanning and printing confidential documents and photographs. Inkjet MFPs are most suitable here. For study, it is best to take devices with the lowest cost of printing. Choose from laser. We have selected the best options for you and those, and others.
