Key Advantages

The HP Photosmart C4680 offers high-quality photo printing with vibrant colors and sharp details. It integrates multiple functionalities which reduce the need for separate devices, enhancing workspace efficiency. The borderless printing capability allows for professional-looking photos without white edges. Its compatibility with various media types and sizes provides versatility in document and photo handling. The relatively compact footprint is suitable for limited desk space environments. Additionally, the included HP inks contribute to long-lasting print durability and consistent color accuracy.

Limitations

The printer's print speed is moderate compared to modern multifunction devices, which may affect large volume print jobs. It relies solely on USB connectivity, lacking wireless networking options that are common in newer models. The absence of an automatic document feeder (ADF) limits scanning and copying efficiency for multi-page documents. The scanner resolution, while adequate, might be lower than contemporary high-end scanners. Consumable cartridges may have a higher cost and limited availability due to model discontinuation. Its LCD display provides limited control and feedback compared to more advanced touchscreens found on recent models.
