HP DeskJet 4120e All in One Colour Printer with 6 months of Instant Ink Included with HP+, 35 Page Automatic Document Feeder, White

There are three parts to my experience of this product, and though I'm only meant to be writing about the printer itself, it would be impossible to isolate HP+ and the software required to use it. PRINTER The printer itself is incredibly easy to use, with unfussy paper and document feeds and a no-fuss glass plate scanner which works quietly and quickly. My last printer was a very fussy Pixma and, in comparison, this piece of kit is significantly easier to use, load and maintain. The print quality is good enough for us to have printed out photos onto normal paper for framing, and the printer will print large documents efficiently and quickly. It's very quiet when it's at work so you don't have to worry about the background hum interrupting phonecalls and the like. It's nice to have a very straightforward, simple way to load paper and to be able to scan bundles of documents at once. Similarly, the ink cartridges are easy to orient and load, though the first stout "CLICK" was a little unnerving! SOFTWARE AND SET-UP To set it up, you need to log it onto your wireless network and then find it in your network on your device, which can seem a bit fussy if you've never had to do it before, but does mean you only need to do it once and then it's sorted. I can understand why some people might find the setting up process a bit of a pain, especially as it relies so heavily on Bluetooth AND wi-fi. The only thing I can say is to get a cuppa and work through it slowly, starting with turning on Bluetooth on your phone while downloading the HP app and taking it from there. Setting it up on a static PC is actually a little more difficult and requires you to download software from 123.hp.com and then it can be a bit mystifying to get the printer visible on your machine, particularly if it's already part of your network. HP+ Truly the biggest hang up I have about printers is the cost of ink replacement and good quality paper. I don't print often and, on my last printer, found the sudden cost-hit of cartridges to be really expensive. Plus they couldn't be reused or recycled and it all just felt incredibly wasteful. It's good to see that HP have given this thought and developed a monthly subscription model that factors in the cost of your ink. But it's actually far more than that - your ink gets delivered to you automatically, you send back the old cartridges for refill and reuse and they even allow you to roll over unused pages to the next month of your plan. On top of that, I've got about 9 free months of ink = allowing up to 700 pages a month to be printed (colour and black and white) - which is an incredibly good deal for what will end up being £4 for the whole year. CONCLUSION Getting 2 desktops, 2 phones and a laptop to be able to connect to the printer was a bit annoying and, particularly the laptop, very frustrating. However, once done, the app allows you to print from literally anywhere (a friend of ours who is also my son's English tutor printed a Christmas greeting from the other side of the country!), and allows you to easily track how much ink is left, how many pages you've printed, whether a new ink delivery is on the way and so on. The printer itself is quiet, efficient and easy to use, and has been surprisingly enjoyable to use once everything was sorted, and signing up to HP+ is the cherry on top as I don't feel I'll be hit with £40 cartridge costs out of the blue anymore, while knowing that sustainable wood and cartridge recycling is all part of the service. Really happy.

When the printer arrived it came with an easy to read instruction booklet and didn't take a lot to set up. I did the set up from my phone (I did have to download two apps) and it only struggled to connect when I was having low internet signal. I like the ease of printing straight from my phone and having a preview of what the image will look like. At first I used a very thin paper and even then the quality was great, considering how thin it was. I then tried with a thicker photo paper and it was perfect for printing photos. The scan and copy feature was simple to use and will be very useful for work. The connectivity is something I have had a few issues with but have put that down to my own personal internet speed from my router. I would definitely recommend this printer, especially for someone wanting to print mainly from their phone. It light to move around and it's too large so fits easily into my office. Having dealt with a lot of temperamental printers in the past I am glad to say this printer has worked consistently each time I've needed it. I also love the HP instant ink, i don't need to go out and search for the ink in store and I know I will have some in the house, also the return packaging for the used ink is very useful too. Which I will definitely continue to use, however I don't usually leave my printer on, and the subscription cannot work unless it connects to the printer, this is something to bear in mind when choosing instant ink which I need to remember. Otherwise it's a great option to have as I don't need to worry about having ink in my flat.

I received my printer quickly after ordering and it arrived well packaged. In the box there is instructions for setting up, some ink cartridges and also a leaflet for setting up HP instant ink. I set up the printer via my phone, which is great that you can do this if you don't have a computer! Although it wasn't as straight forward as I'd hoped. Downloading the app was easy, it took a while for the printer to connect to the internet and be recognised on the app. I did have to download a second app before I could print anything. It definitely took a bit longer to set up due to the technical difficulties but once up and running you are good to go! The first thing I printed out was some of the free colouring sheets on the HP app so my little boy was delighted! The actual printing process is quick but a little noisier than I expected. The actual print out is clear and no issues with alignment or anything. I am still using the cartridges that came with the printer so that is a bonus, I did sign up to the instant ink subscription service, which was really easy to do so I already have more ink waiting for when I do need to replace the cartridge, so I have peace of mind mind I don't need to shell out for ink as its all been paid in small amounts monthly and I only pay for what I need! If you signed up you also got 6 months free ink which is a really good deal! I would recommend this printer to friends and family as once set up it is really easy to use. I can print documents via my phone downstairs and collect from my printer when needed. The actual printer is bigger than my previous printer but you can also copy & scan with this printer so that is expected. The paper inlet & outlet trays fold up to keep it compact.

Product was delivered and nothing works...been talking to seller but they said nothing they can do. The ink cartdridges are also empty when we received the product. terrible after sales service as no one wants to assist. Just sell the product and no more support after that. They offered to send a technician to repair but now technician and seller says nothing they can do...i need to speak to Amazon. I would not recommend buying this product. Received it sealed in a box, but doesn't work...doesnt print..even Cartlidge's was sealed but empty

Molt bé i bon preu

This is the most horrible printer I have ever purchased or used. The color ink is faulty and starts to print only yellow after only printing 10 pages.The format goes shady after first 20 pages of print.Just not at all a reliable product

Very bad one color is not coming properly and no clarity at all
