In what is its largest commercial print launch in a decade, HP unveiled new business-oriented printers in just about every product series. In addition to new OfficeJet Mobile printers and a line of PageWide printers for businesses, the company also introduced new OfficeJet Pro and LaserJet Pro printers to round off the flurry of announcements.

As part of a renewed focus on design, the OfficeJet Pro printers boast a new “Print Forward” design that is more compact and looks good as well. HP says that users did not like their printers to feature protruding paper trays, so it decided to implement a fully contained output tray that saves over 11cm in operating space. This also has the benefit of having printed papers land inside the printer itself, so users don’t have to worry about pages sliding out onto the floor.

In addition, the new paper path allows for high-speed, duplex printing at nearly the speed of single-sided printing. What’s more, the pages print face down, which makes the handling of sensitive documents slightly easier.

The OfficeJet Pro 8000 series printers cater to micro and small businesses that print up to 2,000 pages a month and include the following all-in-one models:

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8710
  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8720
  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8740

The company also debuted the OfficeJet Pro 8210 printer. This isn’t an AIO model and lacks the Page Forward design, but HP says that it offers professional quality printing at half the cost per page compared to laser printers.

For smaller operations that print up to 800 pages a month, HP announced the OfficeJet Pro 6000 series printers as follow:

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 6960
  • HP OfficeJet Pro 6970

The OfficeJet Pro 8700 series is expected to be available at the end of April, with prices starting at S$399. The OfficeJet Pro 8210 will hit stores slightly later in mid-May, starting at S$219. The OfficeJet Pro 6000 series printers following in July. Pricing will be released closer to availability.
