With its low running costs and above-average output, the Epson WorkForce Pro WF-M5299 ($209.99) is an entry-level monochrome inkjet printer that's positioned to compete with laser machines. In fact, thanks to its ink bags that can support up to 40,000 pages, its long-term costs blow its laser competition out of the water. It's also fleet-ready, affordably priced, and has an expandable paper-input capacity. All those perks make it a great value for small- to medium-size offices and workgroups, earning it our Editors' Choice. All-Business Printer At 17.7 by 16.7 by 22.8 inches (HWD) and weighing 33.7 pounds, the WF-M5299 is several inches bigger and heavier than entry-level competitors like the Brother HL-L2370DW, the Canon imageClass LBP251dw, and the HP LaserJet Pro M102w, as well as our favorite medium-volume monochrome laser printer, the Brother HL-L6300DW.
