HP 4219 Printer Review

The HP OfficeJet 4219 isn't the type of all-in-one inkjet printer some users might be used to. It is modeled after a standalone fax machine, with only a sheetfed scanner for copying, faxing, and scanning, but it can reach speeds of up to 17 pages per minute for black and 12 pages per minute for color, with very sharp print quality. Its low price is also impressive, but HP 4219 printer ink can be a little more expensive than that of its competition.

As mentioned, the 4219 resembles a large single-function inkjet printer or a small fax machine in design. It measures 13x16.4x16.7 inches and weighs only 12 pounds before the OfficeJet 4219 ink is installed. The document feeder tray folds downward when not in use, and it can hold up to 20 pages at once, while the input paper tray can hold up to 100 sheets. While this isn't a lot of paper handling, it should be sufficient for personal use.

With a maximum color printing resolution of up to 4800x1200 dpi optimized, the 4219 is capable of producing some very good results. Reviewers note that text and photos are particularly good, with good graphics output as well. This could make it an appealing choice for buyers who want top-quality output.

High-capacity HP 4219 ink cartridges are available as an alternative to the standard versions, with capacities of 520 pages for black and 400 pages for the tricolor supply. This makes the cost per page of OfficeJet 4219 ink cartridges much more reasonable, and is highly recommended. Users might also choose to use remanufactured HP 4219 printer ink for the most cost-effective solution.

Those buyers looking for a full-featured all-in-one inkjet might be a bit disappointed by some of the 4219's limitations. Those looking for high-quality printing and only occasional copy, fax, and scan needs will be more pleased.
