Mobile business users demand great functioning products that are extremely portable. Having to carry a bulky printer along with your other business necessities can be virtually impossible to do. Searching for a compact and portable color inkjet printer does not have to be a horrible experience. The HP Deskjet 460c will perform your necessary printing jobs with ease and quickness. Its small stature and excellent performance will make you tremendously happy with this little device.

The HP Deskjet 460c is definitely aimed at business users that are constantly on the road. You will be able to print important documents on the go without having to locate a printing facility. This portable color printer will allow you to easily print your presentations while on an airplane, in a coffee shop, or even your hotel room. Your productivity level will increase greatly by using this portable printer. Printing text documents, photos, or graphics will not be a problem because it can handle them all. The HP Deskjet 460c will make an excellent travel companion to multiple destinations.

One of the best features of the HP Deskjet 460c is the WiFi printing capability. Many business users will appreciate this hassle free printing method. Instead of having to fight with multiple cables, you will be able to instantly print a document form your WiFi capable notebook computer. The entire design of this portable color printer is very sleek and free from clutter. It has a basic control panel that includes several buttons and lights to notify you of the status. Controlling the device is very simple and easy to do. You can press one of the buttons to power the device on or off and cancel or resume a print job. The indicator lights will notify you if the battery is charging properly or has low ink levels.

There are two available ports on the HP Deskjet 460c in order to attach it to a computer, connect it to a PictBridge capable digital camera, or attach a USB flash drive. The included memory card slots are very useful and will allow you to bypass cables and connections. Just simply insert a Compact Flash card or a SD/MMC card for easy photo printing. The Compact Flash slot can also be used for wireless printing over a WiFi or Bluetooth network. A separate adapter will have to be purchased for these functions.

Once you start printing over the WiFi network, you will have access to a switch on the rear of the device for toggling between several different wireless profiles. You will be able to easily switch between a maximum of three computers or wireless networks. If you have to move this portable printer frequently, then this feature would be a great asset. Traveling to multiple locations such as home , the office, or an airport will not be a hassle any longer.

The top cover of the HP Deskjet 460c also doubles as a paper input tray. It is completely adjustable and can hold up to 50 sheets of paper. The tiny flap on the front of the device will reveal the output area for your printed documents, but it will not provide you with a tray to catch them. You will have to place the portable printer on a flat area for sheets to slide onto.

Using the HP Deskjet 460c as a primary printing tool while on the go is a smart idea. Your important business documents, color graphs, and photos will be printed with wonderful quality. It is portable and compact enough to drag along to multiple locations without breaking your back. The price of this portable color printer will not put a dent in your wallet. The many benefits included in this device make it a valuable asset to any mobile business user.
