Black Friday printer deal: The world's fastest office color printer is perfect for busy WFH setups

If you're looking for a new printer to take your WFH setup to the next level, the HP PageWide Pro 552dw could well be the one for you. Although it’s been around for nearly four years now, it still holds the record for the fastest color inkjet printer you can buy off the shelf, with a print speed of 70 pages per minute (ppm).

There are far faster options around, like the Riso GD9630 (which reaches 160ppm), but these cost more than $28,000 a piece and take up a whole room's worth of space. In contrast, the 552dw costs 1/40th that amount and fits easily on a desk.

It reaches its maximum speed when printing in black and draft, with the ppm score dropping to around 50 when printing in color, which is still mightily fast. HP achieved this speed by using a head that prints the whole width of an A4 page, hence the printer's name.

This futuristic-looking monster from HP can churn out a whopping 70 pages per minute, making it the fastest color inkjet printer out there. It's currently available at a cut-price rate, so grab it while you can as you won't find anything cheaper.View Deal

This is first and foremost an office printer, which means its native printing resolution is lower than you’d get from a photo printer (600 x 600 dpi).

It has two 500-pages paper trays as standard, 512MB memory and offers a wide variety of connectivity options as standard (NFC, Wireless, USB 2.0 port, 10/100Mbps Ethernet).

The 552dw also comes with one-year, onsite warranty and support, which can be extended by a further two years for an extra $111.20. A three-year next business day onsite hardware support package costs $151.20. Note, the recommended monthly page volume is up to 6,000 pages, so it's best not to exceed that figure. There's also an A3 printer equivalent available.
