“Another frustration is that HP has significantly raised both the cost of their new printers and their already too expensive OEM toner cartridges.”
Printers are hard to find in stock these days! Especially HP Color Laser Jet Printers. It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a new or refurbished laser printer, supply has been all over the place the past several months. It is amazing to me that even as recently as last week, both CDW.com and HP.com didn’t have a single HP color LaserJet printer in stock.
It has been really frustrating to me to not be able to quote my customers the best possible printer in a timely fashion. Fortunately, most of them understand the supply chain issues in many industries, so they are patient to wait for the right printer to become available and then grab it immediately when it does.
For example, our best-selling Refurbished HP LaserJet printer series are the HP M602, M605, M606, M608 printers only come on the market every few weeks these days. Whereas in the past, they were usually available the same day my client needed one.
Another frustration for the consumer, in my opinion, is that HP has significantly raised both the cost of their new printers, especially the smaller ones, and the price of their already too expensive OEM toners. For example, their new HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4101fdne (which replaced the HP M428 mfp series) sells for around $649.00, which is about $100 more than the prior series. But, even worse, the OEM/HP 9,500 page toner for this printer is a whopping $280.00! Also, the same level HP color mfp’s like the HP Color LaserJet M480f were raised by $200…
These supply chain trends point to two key thoughts to take away: First, don’t wait to the last minute to buy a printer, because you may not be able to find the right one for a while. Likewise, be sure you don’t get caught without toner, as you should always have an extra one on hand. Second, Refurbished Printers have become an even better option than ever, because they are cheaper than new ones, and they use much less expensive, readily available Remanufactured Toner Cartridges.
