Product Details:
What do you need in a portable colour printer? You want it to be light and small, of course, but what about a compact printer that also lets you copy and scan?
Meet the HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile All-in-One printer. It weighs 3.06 kg (2.96kg without the battery) and measures W 380 x D 198 x H 91mm. Despite its small size, the printer outputs prints with sharp text and vibrant colours at up to 4800 x 1200 dpi, and its print speed (up to 10 pages per minute) is respectable for a portable printer. You can even print borderless photos (up to 5 x 7 in, 127 x 177 mm).
The HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer offers multiple connectivity options, such as wireless printing, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, and a USB port, allowing easy printing from smartphones, tablets, and other devices. It comes with a 10-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) and includes a colour LCD touchscreen for easy navigation. Scan and copy resolution is a maximum of 600 dpi.
Take it with you in a backpack or briefcase, and keep printing wherever you go thanks to its long-lasting battery (you can print up to 500 pages per charge). Once you’re out of juice, the battery takes about 90 minutes to recharge, using HP Fast Charge.
The OfficeJet 250 Mobile uses standard-yield HP 62 and high-yield HP 62XL ink cartridges. The high-yield inks are manufacturer-rated to have a page yield of 600 pages in black and 415 pages in colour. Cheaper third-party compatible and remanufactured HP 62 and HP 62XL cartridges are also available.
Granted, this may not be the multifunction printer for you if you’re printing massive documents, and a lot of them. The recommended monthly print volume is just 100-300 pages (with a maximum of 500 pages per month). And you don’t get automatic double-sided (duplex) printing — to print on both sides you have to do so manually, removing and turning over the pages once each side is completed. But if your needs are more modest and all you want is a reliable all-in-one portable colour printer that can go the distance, then the HP OfficeJet 250 is a great choice.
