The HP Officejet 4630 produces good quality text & graphics, which is enough for most home-office users. It prints borderless, which gives documents a polished look. The photo quality is a bit average. The printer uses one cartridge for black ink while a second cartridge combines cyan, magenta, and yellow, which means that you can't replace the individual colors when one color runs low. The whole cartridge has to be replaced when one color is finished. Some other reviews have pointed out that the printer tends to run low on color ink relatively quickly, even with the largest capacity cartridges. This may be an issue for users who frequently print colored documents. HP Officejet 4630 is one of the first printers to be included in the HP Instant Ink program, in which customers receive ink for a fixed rate depending on the number of pages they print . This can potentially save you a lot of money on ink costs. The printer measures 17.56 x 13.07 x 7.44 inches and weighs 16.68 pounds.
ReviewsBucket's Verdict:
HP Officejet 4630 is not the fastest printer, but has a solid set of features for home-office use with a modest price tag. The print quality is decent and with wireless printing it is quite convenient to print documents. However as mentioned above, the printer guzzles color ink so it may not be suitable for users who frequently print colored documents.
