HP Officejet H470wf Mobile Printer

7.1 7.1 10

16 Reviews | About the ZDNet Score

HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker.

    The Good: Relatively fast; low cost per page; sleek new color scheme.

    The Bad: Poor-quality prints; glitch-prone paper feeder; dSLR owners will miss the CompactFlash port.

    The Bottom Line: HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker.

    Review Summary: The HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer series is designed for mobile professionals who need a compact and rugged printer offering print speeds and quality equal to that of desktop printers, plus the convenience of a wide range of connectivity options.

    The Verdict: Our only niggle is the print quality. “Office quality” prints is a term that we use quite loosely in this regard. Do not expect to replace your office printer with the H470 if you need high quality prints. Do expect a stylish mobile printer.

    Review Summary: OfficeJet is normally the brand that HP uses for its business all-in-one printers, but in this case, it refers to a diminutive, mobile inkjet machine

    The Verdict: The OfficeJet H470 is a versatile, portable inkjet printer, with the added flexibility of printing from a digital camera using PictBridge or from an SD card, and options for battery power and two different wireless connections. You pay a premium for...

    Review Summary: Printing on the go can't really be classified as a normal requirement, and HP is targeting a small segment of the business world with its OfficeJet H470b. Small in form factor, this little printer surprised us with its speed and connectivity

    The Verdict: The 'b' in the name presumably stands for battery, as the model ships with an external battery if you want to travel wirelessly

    Review Summary: The H470b is the latest business-focused mobile printer from HP and it is the successor to the 460cb. While there are some minor improvements we'd lik...

    The Verdict: For those who travel a lot and need to print at short notice, the H470b provides the perfect solution. It's small and portable but still provides excellent quality text. With the additional options of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, the printer is...

    Review Summary: This mobile printer from HP may lack a few niceties, but it's surprisingly cheap to run and print quality is reasonable good, too.

    The Verdict: There's quite a bit going for this diminutive inkjet printer, though surprisingly size is not one of its killer features. It's easy to use and versatile if you opt for the WiFi or Bluetooth adapters and the lithium ion battery. It's a bit surprising...

    Review Summary: The HP Officejet H470 is a mobile inkjet printer aimed at those people who need to print reports, photos, and brochures straight from a laptop, camera, or phone while on the road.

    The Verdict: Although it offers desktop-quality printing from a wide variety of devices, the HP Officejet H470wbt is hampered by slow performance. Still, mobile users will find it a worthy addition to their travelling kit.
