HP OfficeJet 4500 Expert Review

As a multifunctional business printer, the HP OfficeJet 4500 offers a number features to support the demands of a home office.

Unfortunately, the 100-sheet paper capacity is a little small for the type of printing you’d expect to see carried out for a business.

The quality of results for both prints and scans are still pretty impressive and the added fax functionality is something that is often missed on comparable machines. Photo prints also display a clarity that’s not very often seen when using a business inkjet.

A black and tri colour cartridge system is not ideal as far as consumables for this printer go; individual cartridges have long been the choice for users as a cheaper way to manage their print costs.

All things considered, the 4500 would not look out of place in a home office or small office and will provide reliable support for a business’ printing.

Pros

• Excellent quality prints
• Fax function included
• 20-page automatic document feeder

Cons

• Doesn’t use individual ink cartridge system
