HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One

This is a basic review of this printer and my personal experience of using it, rather than a highly technical review. My last printer was a HP printer/scanner/copier, but I'd had it six years and it was definitely past its best. It's been a decent printer though, so I decided to stick with Hewlett Packard. One thing I like about their printers is they don't tend to splatter ink about so I'm not having to always clean them out with surgical spirit. It comes with an installation disc and a quick set up guide which is simple and effective to follow. It also comes with standard sized black and colour ink cartridges. There's no USB cable included, ...  Read the complete review

I was looking for a printer which was fairly cheap and that had the ability to print, copy and scan. The HP C4480 was the one i chose in the end, and i have been relatively happy with it. The printer was really easy to set up and comes with Hp software which is good for doing basic photo editing, such as brightening up images and making them better, especially useful if you want to print photos which aren't taken in brilliant light. The copy function is simple, literally just put the paper in the glass window, and press copy, it always comes out stright away, and is of a good quality, even photocopying very small print and detailed ...  Read the complete review

Managed to get this printer for a tenner with a MacBook from Apple's online store. Firstly I was impressed that ink for this printer is not as expensive as previous HP printers I've owned, I was expecting ink to be expensive as Apple were virtually giving it away... there had to be a catch. Several months into using the printer and it still hasn't show what the afore mentioned catch is. The printer hasn't jammed once, it's print quality is as good as it gets for under a hundred quid. The scanner function produces good quality images, and the copier is of suffecient standard for our needs. The printer function itself is used daily. The ...  Read the complete review

I have owned this printer for around 6 months and overall I am very happy with it. I got it as a budget, all-in one printer at around £50, although as with all printers the genuine ink can be pretty expensive. So far I have only used genuine ink as I am very wary of compatible cartridges, and I would advise consumers to buy the XL versions of both the colour and black inks. They are somewhere around double the price of the standard cartridges, but they will do between 3 to 5 times more pages so they really are worth it. The print speed is very good at between 20-30 pages per minute, and the quality is also excellent. The scanner is great and the software ...  Read the complete review
