HP DeskJet F2480 Printer Description

Affordable and reliable, the HP DeskJet F2480 is an easy to use all-in-one machine that that can provide versatile printing options for the home.

Whether you’re looking to print, scan or copy, the F2480 is an easy-to-use device that can be connected to your computer with a minimum amount of fuss. A simple installation process cuts down the time it takes to begin printing whilst four one-touch buttons help manage the printer.

Users will benefit from an early warning given by the printer prompting the need to buy replacement cartridges. It’s easy to remove and replace cartridges thanks to the machine offering central access to consumables.

It’s possible to make the most of what you print as a result of the HP Smart Web Printing feature. This feature means you only need to print the information you need and nothing more. Content from multiple web pages can be added to a single page in order to save money on ink and paper.

An 80-sheet paper capacity is offered as well as print speeds of up to 20ppm for mono (draft) and 16ppm colour (draft).

HP DeskJet F2480 Expert Review

The HP DeskJet F2480 is a good printer for home users looking for a budget printer that also has scanning and copying capabilities.

Providing the type of print results that you’ll want to keep, the machine has a print resolution of 4800 x 1200dpi. Both text documents and colour graphics are high in quality and photo prints are also more than acceptable.

Despite the quality of printing, the lack of connectivity options is disappointing. More than one computer is unable to connect to the printer and there isn’t the possibility of printing from a memory card.

An 80-sheet paper capacity won’t appeal to those who print in high volumes and the speeds offered by the F2480 aren’t at a level that would suit a home office.

Cheap and cheerful, this is a good entry level printer for the ‘little and often’ printer user.

Pros

• Good value for money
