HP 4311 Printer Review

The most impressive aspect of the HP OfficeJet 4311 All-in-One device is that it features printing, scanning, copying, and faxing functionality, but still manages to be only a little larger than most dedicated inkjet printers. But don't expect it to be slow, either, at up to 30 pages per minute for monochrome and 24 pages for color. Even better, operating costs are low, thanks to affordable HP 4311 printer ink.

The unit measures 13x16.4x8 inches, with a light weight of only 12 pounds. With all trays open, it takes up a bit more space, but the fact that most of its trays can be closed for storage is a nice bonus, especially for buyers who don't plan to use it frequently and might wish to reclaim some desk space.

The input paper capacity is only 100 sheets, but this is to be expected for such a small machine. Unfortunately, the output tray only holds 20 sheets, which could be a problem when printing longer projects. The automatic document feeder can also hold 20 sheets for scanning, copying, and faxing. The lack of a flatbed scanner might be an inconvenience for some, but it is a minor detail for such a compact machine.

Users can choose between standard or high-capacity versions of HP 4311 ink cartridges, depending on the volume of printing they plan to do. This can help users better manage the cost of OfficeJet 4311 printer ink. Choosing compatible OfficeJet 4311 ink cartridges can reduce the cost even lower, and is a good alternative to OEM versions.

It is quite a feat of design to include so many features and functions in a single inkjet model. Home buyers will find it a good value for the price, and the low cost of HP 4311 ink will help them save money over the long run as well.
