HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw printer in excellent condition, complete with more than $1,100 worth of genuine HP ink cartridges. Purchased new, about 6 years ago (from memory).

Purchased new, about 6 years ago (from memory). It's printed 290,000 pages but that's nothing compared to my previous HP model which went well over 600,000 before I retired it.

I've only ever used genuine cartridges in it, and it's never missed a beat. Fast print/copy, black or colour, and uses long-life cartridges. The black cartridge is 9,200 pages, and the colour (CYM) are 6,600 pages each. Paper tray takes a full ream, so great if you're doing a large print run.

Genuine reason for sale, and I'll be sorry to see it go. Please phone 021-759-040.

Price: $850
