Key Advantages

The HP Envy 4520 offers versatile wireless connectivity options for flexible placement without clutter.

Its compact design ensures it fits neatly into home offices and small workspaces.

Automatic duplex printing helps save paper and reduce operating costs.

The use of individual ink cartridges allows for replacing only the empty color, lowering ink expenses.

Compatibility with mobile printing standards such as HP ePrint and AirPrint makes it convenient for users with multiple devices.

High print resolution ensures sharp, vibrant images and professional-quality documents.

Limitations

The print speed is moderate, making it less suitable for high-volume printing needs.

There is no Ethernet port; network connection depends solely on wireless connectivity, which may be less stable in some setups.

The scanner resolution is adequate but not suitable for high-end professional scanning tasks.

The input paper tray capacity is limited, requiring more frequent refills during heavy usage.

The printer uses thermal inkjet technology, which can have higher cost-per-page compared to laser printers.

Lack of a physical touchscreen interface means some settings have to be managed via software or web applications.
