HP's Color LaserJet Pro M454dw ($449.99) is a single-function color laser printer designed for use in small to midsize offices and workgroups. It's similar in features, volume, and capacity to two current Editors' Choices, the Brother HL-L8260CDW and the inkjet-based "laser alternative" Epson WorkForce Pro WF-C5290. While this LaserJet is a solid machine with terrific-looking output, it costs almost twice as much as the Epson, and its running costs are significantly higher. If you require relatively low-volume, top-quality laser (toner-based) output, the M454dw is a decent choice. But if you produce several hundred to thousands of pages each month, you can find better values.

A Small Footprint for a Color Laser

At 11.6 by 16.2 by 18.5 inches (HWD) and 41.7 pounds, the M454dw is relatively compact and lightweight, though not the smallest or lightest in its class. The abovementioned Brother HL-L8260CDW is a few inches smaller in all directions and about 6 pounds lighter, as is the Canon Color imageClass LBP664Cdw. Both the Epson WF-C5290 and EcoTank Pro ET-5850, another inkjet-based laser alternative, are a little trimmer and several pounds lighter.

Even though as a print-only rather than multifunction model it doesn't give you many output options to configure, the Color LaserJet Pro M454dw comes with a 2.7-inch color touch screen, shown below.

I focus on printer and scanner technology and reviews. I have been writing about computer technology since well before the advent of the internet. I have authored or co-authored 20 books—including titles in the popular Bible, Secrets, and For Dummies series—on digital design and desktop publishing software applications. My published expertise in those areas includes Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Photoshop, and QuarkXPress, as well as prepress imaging technology. (Over my long career, though, I have covered many aspects of IT.)

In addition to writing hundreds of articles for PCMag, over the years I have also written for many other computer and business publications, among them Computer Shopper, Digital Trends, MacUser, PC World, The Wirecutter, and Windows Magazine. I also served as the Printers and Scanners Expert at About.com (now Lifewire).

Winning in business means working smarter. The HP Color LaserJet Pro M454 printer is designed to let you focus your time where it’s most effective-helping to grow your business and staying ahead of the competition.

Dynamic security enabled printer. This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges. More at: http://www.hp.com/learn/ds
