T850 MFP vs T950 MFP – Key Differences
While both models share the same powerful print engine and HP 738 pigment ink technology, there are a few key distinctions:
- T850 utilises maximum length 50m rolls, T950 accepts longer 91m
- A3 Tray Organiser: The T950 MFP includes a dedicated A3 tray organiser for sheet-fed media, while the T850 MFP offers this as an optional upgrade.
- Output Handling: The T950 MFP includes a basket stacker, whereas the T850 MFP features a standard media bin, this can be approved with stacker option which also includes the A3 organiser tray.
- Styling: The T950 MFP features cool white modern studio styling, while the T850 MFP retains the classic dark finish.
Both deliver the same professional performance and output quality, but the T950 adds enhanced workflow convenience and aesthetics for design studios requiring multi-media flexibility.
