HP PageWide Enterprise Color 556dn Review
HP's PageWide Pro and PageWide Enterprise inkjet printers are among the best laser alternatives available. The PageWide Enterprise Color 556dn ($749.99) is essentially the same machine as HP's slightly less expensive ($699.99) Editors' Choice PageWide Pro 552dw ($699.89 at Amazon) , with a few differences in features. Like the 552dw, the 556dn is fast and prints well, and it's highly expandable. Unlike the 552dw, however, the 556dn has some of the lowest running costs in the business. That's enough for it to nudge the 552dw out as our Editors' Choice for medium-to-heavy-duty standalone printers for micro and small offices.

Canon's Color ImageClass LBP712Cdn , for instance, measures 15.3 by 18.1 by 18....
The HP PageWide Enterprise Color 556dn is a fast inkjet printer that produces laser-quality text and terrific-looking graphics at very low costs for its class.
