HP CB473A tray/feeder 500 sheets

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £410 ex-VAT, this HP 500-sheet tray/feeder (CB473A) is only a sensible buy if you’re confident you *actually* need the extra paper capacity and your current setup is the bottleneck. In most UK offices, “saving time” is the real benefit here, not the tray itself—if you’re frequently refilling trays or printing long runs, adding capacity can reduce interruptions and keep jobs moving. If you’re mainly doing low-volume, mixed print days, the cost doesn’t feel great for what it is.

Who it suits best: businesses running moderate-to-heavy document workflows on compatible HP printers and want a straightforward, reliable OEM way to extend capacity. Who should think twice: anyone with variable print volumes, anyone that might upgrade printers soon, or anyone trying to fix a deeper print issue—because if the printer’s already struggling, you’re spending on capacity rather than addressing the cause. Also, double-check compatibility with your exact printer model before buying—OEM trays are usually dependable, but getting the wrong one is an expensive mistake.
