Welcome to our pick of the best digital copiers for modern offices. If you're looking for the best photocopier (another name for digital copiers), then we've got a collection of devices on this page that are certain to interest you.
As well as standalone digital copiers, there are also affordable multifunction printers (MFPs) that combine printing and scanning functionality in one device, and slash the cost of producing printouts using inkjet or laser technologies
At the same time, MFPs have made significant improvements both in terms of quality, value for money and onboard features.
From usage tracking to improve security, auto duplex, mobile and wireless printing or digital touchscreen display, there’s now a flurry of options available on the market, for the occasional print out and mailing all the way to digital agencies.
By Xerox standards, this is a modest machine, but it has an impressive specification that will meet the demands of any small to medium sized business. Xerox makes faster printers than this, but the consistent quality of colour and mono prints here is impressive and its photocopying skills are among the best of any four-in-one we’ve tested. The intuitive touchscreen interface is another plus point that gives easy access to a wealth of features such as dual-sided scanning and a broad selection of security features. This feels like a premium product and it’s well supported by modular upgrades.
It might look a little top heavy, but this all-in-one A4 photocopier feels well made and offers plenty of features for the footprint that it takes up. Duplex scanning from the ADF and rapid automatic photocopying are performed flawlessly, while the print quality in both colour and mono is excellent. Duplex printing is not the fastest, but a wealth of security features and an easy interface more than makes up for the shortfall.
If you have the space for it, this multifunction device will serve a small business well thanks to its useful 35-sheet automatic document feeder and automated photocopying skills. This is a mono machine and it’s not the fastest laser on the block, but it’s quicker than any inkjet and offers an attractive blend of features and performance.
If you can find room in your office for this sizable four-in-one laser device, it will almost certainly meet your printing, scanning and copying requirements. It has a high capacity for toner and paper, with room for 550 sheets in the main paper tray and another 150 in its multipurpose tray. It photocopies and prints very quickly and the large touchscreen interface is the most sophisticated you will find on the front of any printer.
This is a serious multifunction device built to take care of heavy print loads in the small to medium-sized office. It can hold 620 sheets of paper and there are upgrades available to expand this. It prints quickly in duplex mode and can copy a stack of 110 sheets in its automatic document feeder. It’s a big machine and you can load up the drawer with A3 paper as well as A4. It is also built to last and the sophisticated touchscreen makes it very easy and secure for workers to operate it at the machine.
HP’s unusual design is novel way of offering print scan, copy and fax facilities in a busy small office. Unlike most inkjet printers, the paper ejects away from you into a 150-sheet output tray. It takes up more room, but allows HP to include a large 250-sheet input tray (expandable to 500-sheets) with room for a 50-sheet automatic document feeder on top of the flatbed scanner. It serves as a prompt and reliable photocopier with useful features like auto duplexing, Wi-Fi and NFC built in. A large touchscreen makes it easy to use too.
