A lot of people are now looking for printers for laptops which can match the handiness and portability of the laptop computer. If you're one of those people, then you definitely have to take a look at the HP Deskjet 460c Mobile printer. This review will cover everything you need to know about it.
Design
A simple glance can tell you that this device is a perfect laptop printer because of its small structure and simple yet aesthetically valuable appearance. It has a sleek silver body with a gray foldable paper tray which serves as a cover when you aren't using the device. It's very simple with no additional accessories or external parts. It's very compact and easy to carry everywhere you go, with the dimensions of 6.4'' x 13.4'' x 3.2'' and a weight of 4.6 pounds. You can keep it in your bag, leave at the back side of your car, or carry it bare wherever you go.
The device has a lot of connectivity options which allow you to access it wirelessly. It has a PictBridge camera connector, a card slot for different types of memory cards, and a USB port. It has no LCD display, although with a digital camera, you may be able to print without turning on a PC. But for the other connectivity options, you need to access the device with a computer.
The biggest lack of this device is the battery which is a must for most portable devices especially printers for laptops, but HP offers an optional rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that is compatible with this model, so you can buy that and make the device more complete.
Printing and Other Functions
This is a very good printer with its speedy printing capabilities and high resolutions. It can print black documents in as fast as 17 pages per minute and colored one with a speed of 16 pages per minute. It can also print borderless 4x6 photos in as fast as 45 seconds. The maximum resolution that is can produce for black documents is 1200x1200 dpi and for colored documents, 4800x1200 dpi. These high numbers ensure the best quality printing with crisp, clear, and completely detailed images and texts.
The maximum duty cycle of the device is 500 pages per month, a very small number if you wish to use it every day for all your documents. But since it's only a portable device, it is only designed to be used for outdoor and rush on-the-go printing. So this device is not advisable to be used as a main printer. It has an internal memory of 32 MB which makes it easy to print several documents in a single setting or even a single long and complex document in one print.
The foldable paper tray can carry a capacity of 50 sheets which makes it easy to print several documents without having to refill the printer again and again. Most standard paper sizes are compatible with this device so you can print most of your documents on this compact device. Other Features
There is also an available optional Bluetooth connectivity card or wireless or Wi-Fi network card which you can use to make the printer more wireless accessible and functional. However, it is not Energy Star qualified so it may not work for other users who are looking for energy-saving devices, as well as environmentalists who give high regard for minimal energy consumption.
Conclusion
Although a lot of printers for laptops may be bought in various stores, the HP Deskjet 460c Mobile Printer is one of the best in quality printing and connectivity options. It is also very useful for on-the-go individuals who need easy accessible printing functions with excellent performance. I highly recommend this model to those individuals out there who are just like me and want a great portable printer to pair with my laptop.
