This second-generation PageWide-based MFP is fast, and the print quality is exceptional. Our only real quibble is with the price of the printer proper (though not the ink).

Good-quality-and very fast-output across prints; scans; and copies; Easy to use; Highly competitive cost per page; with the right cartridges; Loaded with mobile features; expansion options

Initial purchase price is a bit high

Fast; Good text and excellent graphics quality; PCL and PostScript drivers; Wi-Fi, HP Wireless Direct, and NFC; 50-sheet ADF supports single-pass, two-sided scanning; Low running costs for an inkjet

Relatively pricey for what it offers

In many ways, the HP PageWide Pro 577dw Multifunction Printer ($899) behaves more like a laser multifunction printer (MFP) than the inkjet that it is. Among its attributes are speed, great graphics quality, and low running costs. A higher price tag keeps it from wresting the Editors' Choice from the comparably equipped Epson WorkForce Pro WF-6590 ( at Amazon) , also a laser-class inkjet. The 577dw($899.89 at Amazon) still warrants strong consideration as a color MFP for up to heavy-duty use in a small or midsize business, especially if output quality is paramount. The PageWide Brand and Technology Although the 577dw is among the first group of HP printers to sport the company's new PageWide branding, it's in the second generation of MFPs to use the HP technology for which the brand is named.

For Documents an excellent printer. Very Fast.

I read about this new HP technology and I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance. Much quieter than previous HP machines and the printing is lightning fast. No wet ink on page to worry about and the machine is good-looking to boot!!!

We purchased this printer for our small printing business and so far we are truly happy with the quality and ability of this little powerhouse. We print on 110lb cardstock as well as 20lb copy paper and it does a fabulous job on any and all!

Updated: July 2019 I no longer recommend HP. We have several of these printers. HP forced firmware updates which now prevent use of 3rd party ink forcing you to use very expensive HP ink at 4x the price.
