HP Photosmart C4280

Quick view

The HP Photosmart C4280 is an all-in-one inkjet printer designed for office environments, supporting printing, scanning, and copying functions. It uses HP's six-ink color technology with individual color cartridges for enhanced photo quality and efficient ink use. The device supports printing resolutions up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for photo printing, delivering sharp and detailed images. Connectivity is provided via a USB 2.0 port, ensuring compatibility with most computers. The built-in flatbed scanner offers 1200 dpi optical resolution, allowing accurate digital copies of photographs and documents. The printer supports various media types including photo paper, envelopes, and plain paper, up to A4 and letter sizes.

The Photosmart C4280 shines with its six-ink system, offering superior color accuracy and print quality over traditional four-ink printers. Its multifunction capability—print, scan, copy—makes it a versatile choice for small offices. Individual ink cartridges allow replacement of only the colors that run out, resulting in cost savings. The device’s compact footprint suits limited workspace environments. High-quality photo output quality at a relatively low cost is a significant benefit for users needing occasional photo printing. Additionally, easy-to-use HP software enhances user experience for print and scan job management.

The printer does not support wireless or Ethernet connectivity, limiting network printing capabilities. Print speeds are modest, with draft mode yielding around 20 ppm in black and 13 ppm in color, which may be slow for high-volume offices. The screen interface is minimalistic, lacking an LCD display for direct control or preview. It does not support duplex (double-sided) printing, requiring manual page flipping. The maximum paper input capacity is relatively small, around 80 sheets, suitable only for low to medium volume tasks. As an older model, it may not be fully compatible with newer operating systems without updated drivers.
