HP F4190 Printer Review

Home users often have to contend with limited space and a smaller budget, but that shouldn't mean they don't get the features they need. The HP Deskjet F4190 is an all-in-one color inkjet printer that aims to help. It is an affordable and compact model with scan and copy functions, and it provides excellent photo quality and solid text.

Setting up the F4190 is fairly simple, though a USB cable is not included in the box. It does come with both tricolor and black HP F4190 printer ink, which are easily inserted once the device is up and running. The control panel is simple, with one-touch buttons for copying and canceling a print job. Print speeds can hit up to 20 pages per minute in monochrome and 14 pages per minute, though real-world speeds may be a little slower, especially for high-quality settings.

The footprint of the F4190 is quite compact, measuring 16.76x14.5 inches, and its slim height of only 7.11 inches is particularly impressive, when it includes so many great functions. HP Photosmart Essential software is included, which can help even novice users improve their photos, trim down web pages for better results, and more.

High-capacity versions of HP F4190 ink cartridges are available, which can help reduce the cost per page significantly, and compatible Deskjet F4190 printer ink can reduce it even lower. There is also an optional photo color Deskjet F4190 ink cartridge, which is not required, but can help improve the quality of photo prints.

For users who need to scan and copy, but don't need to handle large volumes, the F4190 inkjet is a great fit. It offers solid output speeds, great photo and text quality, and the availability of both standard and high-capacity sizes of HP F4190 ink help users buy only as much as they need.
