Printer stands are basically sold in many stores. Sometimes, they don’t even call them printer stands but multipurpose racks. In some cases people don’t even use a printer stand, they simply adapt a sturdy foot stool for an under the desk stand or a cart.
Aside from printers, they can hold any other types of equipment as long as the footprint of the equipment is well within the bounds of the stand.
However, if you are looking for specific printer stands like the ones from HP, then your options are a bit limited, in a way. In this article, we will tackle the places where you can get a genuine HP printer stand. There are 2 ways of approaching this.
If you are not fond of going to shops, then you should shop online. If you prefer to take a look at the merchandise before buying, then go to the shops personally.
Amazon
The great thing about online shops is that you can basically get almost everything online, without the hassle of queues. Just a few mouse-clicks here and there and the products are on their way to your doorstep.
Shopping at Amazon.com offers these conveniences even if you’re at home. What is so good about it is that Amazon offers almost any product available today. Amazon has widened their product line into consumer electronics, office furniture, apparel and etc. It has extended even to offering HP printer stands. Can you imagine that from someone that started out as an online bookstore?
EBay
Aside from Amazon, you can buy HP printer stands at EBay. Compared to Amazon, you will not get the printer stand directly from EBay. Sellers register to EBay in order to sell their goods. This means that the availability of the kind of printer stand you want will depend on the supply of sellers registered at EBay.
The good thing about EBay is that you can get some merchandise at really low prices since most of them are resellers. This means that a lot of sellers at EBay are not actually users of the products they are selling.
HP Direct
Amazon and EBay are already popular websites so they might be your first choice even if they are not mentioned here. However, for your benefit, since you are looking for an HP printer stand, you should know that you could actually buy directly from HP.
Their number is 888-999-4747. If you lose this number, you can always access it online from the www.hp.com.
HP has its own online shop. All you need to do is register to their website and choose the products that you want and once your financial requirements are verified, you can have your orders delivered at your door.
Often greater bargains are found elsewhere. Just as with printers where you can obtain them often cheaper from other sources other than the manufacturer, then the same can be said of HP printer stands.
HP Partners
We did mention that you have options aside from shopping online. However, just for this search, you will still need to go online at www.hp.com. From there, you can choose to buy from HP partners. The reason why you need to go online is that their website allows you to select your locations and they will give you a list of HP partners that are near to your location.
Although, it would help if you called first before going to their shops in order to find out if they have in stock what you’re looking for. This method is applicable only for US residents. The good thing about HP is that they are available worldwide. Therefore, if you’re a non-US citizen, you can download thru this link, which holds a list and contacts of all the HP partners worldwide.
Selections Available
Looking at the various online sites, you will find that availability fluctuates. One day you won’t find anything near what you’re looking for, a few days later there could be 3 outlets. That’s online shopping; it’s what’s available at the time of searching.
A good method which will open you up to all the possibilities is by searching the HP site to see the full range, then setting off on your quest to locate one cheaper online. Also often the stand is designed for a specific model some are more general.
With larger heavy duty machines, a printer stand on wheels is essential if you need to move it from post to post. Manually moving it by carrying could result in a trip and a broken printer potentially destroying a very expensive investment. It’s best not to take that risk.
A case in point is the HP 5500 Color LaserJet Printer which is a expensive piece of equipment and is an extremely hefty 197 lbs.
Not too surprisingly HP Printer Stand for LaserJet 5500 has a stand on wheels which is especially made for this model at staggeringly just under $500. This of course is a lot to pay out for a stand no matter how necessary but there are used ones and perhaps a better idea being a refurbished one at around half the cost.
Other stands available made exclusively for certain printer or printer series Is the HP Designjet 100/500/800 24 Stand & Bin at less than $350.
Non Specific Stands
There are general ones for hefty laser jets like the Hewlett Packard HP Laserjet Stand at under $500 which comes with one year guarantee. Very similar is the HP-Printer stand which weighs less so presumably doesn’t carry the same weight as the former at around $260.
It may be wise to check with the supplier or even consult Hewlett Packard as to the amount of weight each of these pieces is designed to carry.
Simply punch in the name of the printer you wish to find a stand for and see what comes up. It may not always be available but check regularly and you just may find a bargain. Second hand and reconditioned pieces are very seriously worth considering at these prices but refurbished is a lesser risk. It’s hard to predict what kind of abuse a used item has had over time and it may not last the course. Better stick with new or refurbished.
