HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One Printer, Fax, Scanner, Copier

HP's Office Jet J4580 all-in-one is the latest addition to the company's range of low-priced but effective multifunction printers. altho the feature sit isn't particularly extraordinary ,  the Office Jet J4580 all-in-one will suffice for small volume ,  slavish precedence needs.

The HP Office Jet J4580 has a introductory plot ,  with a further business-like see than HP's home-targeted photosmart range. unlike numerous low-end multifunctions ,  the HP Office Jet J4580 all-in-one doesn't own a rear paper tray but opts instead for a 100-sheet front paper cassette which cuts down on the printer's overall footprint. the tray is removable but isn't fully retractable ,  adding significant depth to the printer when it is attached. the HP Office Jet J4580 all-in-one includes an automatic document feeder.


Usb 2.0 is the plainly shape of pc connectivity ,  but the multifunction also has a 33.6kbps integrated fax.

The control panel on the Office Jet J4580 is extremely introductory ,  and may be hard to utilize at times. cancelling tasks may ofttimes take several seconds ,  and initiating regular cartridge cleaning and alignment need To be done from the control panel itself rather than software on the pc.

Our print haste tests ofttimes match those figures quoted by HP but we institute numerous discrepancies when testing the Office Jet J4580 all-in-one. HP claims the multifunction may print draft mono documents at up to 28 pages per minute ,  but in our tests it plainly managed 16.7ppm. also ,  HP's quoted mono print haste of 9ppm when using normal quality was faster than the 7.2ppm we averaged. color documents averaged 11.3ppm (draft) and 3.2ppm (normal). it took roughly 20-21 seconds for the introductory page of a draft document to print.

HP's claimed 4x6in photo print haste of 51sec was closer to what we experienced; photos took regarding a minute to print. a4 photos are fairly a scintilla slower ,  taking an average of 3min to print. these aren't the slowest print speeds around — and the HP Office Jet J4580 all-in-one manages to keep strut with the further dear brother mfc-490cw — but the speeds aren't amazing.

Text in mono documents is of a decent standard and characters are easily readable provided a little bolder than those further dear printers produce. there is a loss of clarity in text when using a 7pt font ,  but the multifunction retains decent quality when the text is enlarged to 20pt. color accuracy was usually good in our document tests ,  even Though red is over-saturated.

In photo prints ,  nevertheless ,  the color palette as a whole is somewhat unsaturated. colors lack the vividness ofttimes produced by inkjet printers ,  even Though the surprising lack of banding issues makes the Office Jet J4580 a much better photo printer than we expected. placid ,  it is best to utilize this multifunction for printing color position documents rather than trusting it with your treasured family photos.

The HP Office Jet J4580 all-in-one supplies gloat presets that are accessible from the control panel as right as through software. its gloat haste is adequate fleet ,  and the results are acceptable. when scanning at 600dpi images are possibly overly light compared to the source ,  but detail isn't lost.
