The Laserjet Pro MFP 4102fdwe is a classic office printer with laser printing technology and full network connectivity. The device is available online for just under £400 and has all the essential functions for everyday office use. The printer works quickly and cleanly, but only in black and white and without a colour option. Thanks to the generously filled toner, the cost per page is low, although higher than with ink tank printers. You can save a little more money with the HP+ subscription, which allows you to print unlimited copies for a fixed price per month and automatically sends you new toners when the current toner is empty.
Being tied to the HP+ subscription is almost mandatory because, without HP+, some of the features of the associated smartphone app cannot be used. In addition to the cost per page, energy consumption is also a cost factor. For example, the system requires over 500 W during printing, and even in standby mode, the power consumption is relatively high at 7.5 W.
