Key Advantages
The HP OfficeJet H470 Mobile offers true mobility with its rechargeable battery option, allowing users to print and fax on the go without needing constant power input. Its all-in-one functionality—print, scan, copy, fax—reduces the need for multiple devices, saving space and weight for mobile workers. The printer supports a wide range of media types and sizes, including borderless photo printing, which adds versatility for business and creative tasks. Its compact design and relatively lightweight build make it highly portable compared to standard office printers. The integrated fax capabilities with error correction improve reliability when sending important documents remotely. Additionally, its ease of use through a simple control panel and USB connectivity makes it compatible with most laptop setups without requiring complex installation.
Limitations
As a mobile inkjet printer, the HP OfficeJet H470 Mobile has slower print speeds compared to desktop or laser printers. The print quality, while good for mobile use, is not on par with high-end office printers, particularly in text sharpness and graphic detail. The maximum monthly duty cycle is relatively low, making it unsuitable for heavy volume printing tasks. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting its integration with mobile devices and modern networks. The battery life, while adequate for light mobile printing, may require frequent recharging during extended use on the move. Consumable costs such as ink cartridges can be higher relative to laser printers, impacting long-term operational expenses.
