Text should be fine for any business use except perhaps for those requiring very tiny fonts. Of the four standard fonts in our test suite, one was clearly readable at sizes down to 4 points, two were readable down to 5 points, and one down to 6 points. The HL-L8260CDW did well with our three unusual or stylized typefaces as well.

To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer.

The HL-L8260CDW has a substantial edge in text quality, which is slightly below average for the M452dw. They both have excellent graphics, with a slight edge going to the HP. The HL-L8260CDW's photo quality falls short of the M452dw's. In general, photo printing is less of a priority for offices than text or graphics, but businesses that need high-quality photos (say, for real-estate handouts) may be better off choosing the HP M452dw. Text is the staple of office printing, though, and the HL-L8260CDW has a clear edge here. And although its graphics aren't quite as stellar as the M452dw's, they should still be fine for basic marketing materials. Running Costs With photos, I noticed posterization—a tendency for abrupt shifts in tone where they should be gradual—in several prints, and also some dithering (graininess). A monochrome photo had a slight tint. There was often a slight loss of detail in bright areas.
