Key Advantages

The HP Photosmart C4599 offers high-quality photo and document printing with impressive resolution. Its all-in-one functionality saves space and provides convenience with scanning and copying features. The use of individual ink cartridges allows for cost-effective replacement of only the colors that run out. User-friendly control panel and software make operation straightforward for users of different expertise levels. Compact design fits well in small office or home environments without occupying much space. The printer supports borderless photo printing, enhancing professional photo output.

Limitations

The HP Photosmart C4599 does not feature wireless connectivity, limiting convenience in modern network environments. Print speeds are modest, with approximately 20 pages per minute in black and 14 pages per minute in color, which may be slow for heavy office demands. It lacks automatic duplex (double-sided) printing, requiring manual paper flipping. The scanner resolution is limited to 1200 x 2400 dpi, which may be insufficient for high-detail scanning needs. There is no fax functionality, reducing its flexibility as a complete office all-in-one device. It uses older HP ink cartridges that might be more expensive compared to newer models.
