At A Glance

The elevated camera and automated image processing should appeal to those who take a lot of product shots. The rest of the machine is pretty good, but toner is expensive.

Manufacturer’s Description

The HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 prints at speeds of up to 17 ppm black and 4 ppm color. The printer is designed for high-volume usage with a maximum monthly duty cycle of 20,000 pages. The 4 individual toner cartridges lower the cost per print. Most of the unit's features can be accessed via the large 3.5-inch color touchscreen located in an easy to view place.
