HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP 8601z
A top-tier enterprise monochrome Flow MFP that automates document routing and processing. 70ppm output with enterprise-grade security.
Editor's summary
The HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP 8601z is an enterprise-class office printer built for shared, high-volume environments. At a starting price of $10,229, it is firmly in enterprise territory and is sized accordingly.
Rated print speed of 70 ppm is genuinely fast — comfortably ahead of what most offices will ever need in everyday use. The 300,000-page monthly duty cycle confirms it is built for sustained workgroup volume. Cost per page is very low at $0.005 — a strong long-term economic argument, particularly for anyone printing more than a few dozen pages a month.
Connectivity covers both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, giving it the flexibility needed for mixed home and office setups.
Overall, it is a serious enterprise printer and should be matched against Canon imageRUNNER and Ricoh IM-class equivalents in any business procurement.
