HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f
Small and mighty: HP's smallest Enterprise MFP
HP's entry-level Enterprise-class Color MFP with speeds up to 28 ppm and strongest security.
Key Features
This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges. More at: http://www.hp.com/learn/ds
