Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E785dn is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're on an HP managed print contract and want a workgroup color MFP at moderate speed.
  • You print around 5,000 pages a month with included toner and metered billing.
  • You scan multi-page originals through a 100-sheet ADF for daily workflows.
  • You handle Letter, Legal, cardstock, and labels for varied business work.
  • You want enterprise-class security and HP fleet management.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if 28 ppm fits your workflow speed needs.
  • It's fine if you fax occasionally; the line is optional on this trim.
  • It's fine if you only have wired Ethernet on day one.
  • It's fine if your color volume is moderate.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need higher speed; the E786dn runs at 35 ppm.
  • Skip this if you don't want a managed print contract.
  • Skip this if you need single-pass duplex ADF or a pull-out keyboard.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume is under 1,500 pages.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E785dn is a workgroup color managed MFP at 28 ppm color and B&W, with print, copy, scan, and optional fax. It includes a 100-sheet ADF, automatic duplex, 650-sheet input expandable, USB and Gigabit Ethernet. HP describes a custom quad-core processor for fast print and scan response. Recommended monthly volume sits around 5,000 pages. The 'managed' designation means HP managed print contract with included toner. The regret to flag: 28 ppm is on the slower end for a workgroup MFP at this size — the E786 family runs at 35 ppm for not much more. If your workgroup is busy enough to need a workgroup MFP, the extra speed of the E786 usually pays off in less waiting at the device. For a smaller managed-print customer that doesn't need top speed, the E785dn fits the budget tier.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Been using this for our small office for about a year now. The color output is sharp and consistent, and the duplex printing saves us a lot of paper. Network setup was straightforward and it handles our mixed print jobs without any fuss."
  • "This printer works well for our document scanning and copying needs, but the toner costs are higher than I'd like. Print quality is reliable though, and the managed features make it easier for IT to handle updates remotely."
  • "Replaced our older HP with this model and the difference in speed is noticeable. Color laser printing is crisp for presentations, and the automatic duplex works great. Only complaint is the physical size takes up a bit of desk real estate."
