HP Printers South Africa Buying Guide
HP is the best-selling printer brand in South Africa, with a model for every budget — from the affordable DeskJet to the business-class LaserJet and OfficeJet. This guide breaks down the HP printer families so you pick the right one, and shows you the genuine HP printers, ink and toner we stock at Bonolo Online.
HP printer families explained
DeskJet and ENVY are HP's home inkjet printers — great for homework, photos and light document printing, using HP ink cartridges. OfficeJet printers are inkjet models built for small offices with faster printing, automatic document feeders and fax options. LaserJet printers use toner and are the workhorses of business — fast mono printing at very low cost per page, available in single-function and multi-function (All-in-One) versions. HP PageWide and Smart Tank models offer ultra-low-cost ink tank printing for high volumes.
Ink vs toner: what will it cost to run?
Inkjet (DeskJet, ENVY, OfficeJet) has a lower purchase price but higher cost per page; toner (LaserJet) costs more up front but prints far more pages per cartridge — usually 1,500–3,000+ pages versus 190–600 for ink. If you print more than a few hundred pages a month, an HP LaserJet or Smart Tank will save you money in the long run.
