Executive Summary What It Is

Starting at $99.00, the Officejet 4500 All-in-One Series enables even

the most budget-conscious end-users to enjoy a color All-in-One

without sacrificing reliability, image quality, or effective, easy-to-use

software.

First-Rate Image Quality And Media Handling

 The Hewlett-Packard Officejet 4500 produced image-quality

samples as good as higher-priced Officejets—whether producing

black text documents or photos on glossy media, image quality was

very good.

 The system produced very good color photographic quality with its

dye-based inks: ISO raw TIFF test photographs produced in testing

displayed very good detail and color saturation, no banding, and

very realistic flesh tones. Photos displayed a very pleasing,

professional-quality appearance.

 Media-handling is versatile enough to handle graphic-arts

applications, for instance, for printing brochures in-house (avoiding

the expense of outsourcing such jobs to commercial print shops).

 Print on custom media up to 8.5”x30”—useful for instance when

printing signs, banners, larger presentation materials, etc.

Easy, Painless Installation And Officejet Software Functionality

 Hardware setup took only about 18 minutes, and required just a few

steps. There’s no guessing about what to do, and everything installs

correctly the first time. Following the installation utility’s prompts,

it took just about five clicks to install the system on our wired

network, and four clicks to install software.

 HP’s Solution Center software, which HP bundles with its higher-

priced Officejets, is also included. It provides the same scan and PC

fax functionally from the computer workstation, as well as easy

device-management capability, via an intuitive user interface.

 Although this is one of the lowest-priced Officejets, HP includes its

Document Manager document-management software, OCR

software, and a utility for more effective printing and layout of Web

pages.

Low Acquisition And Operational Costs, And Green

 The Officejet 4500 Series consumes a maximum of 17 watts of

power when operating, or less than half that of a 40-watt light bulb.

This is lower than that of most ink-jet All-in-Ones, and considerably

lower than laser All-in-Ones’ power consumption—in fact, the

Officejet 4500 Series consumes approximately less than 10-percent

the energy of color laser All-in-Ones. With its very low power

consumption, and with HP’s ink-cartridge and product-recycling

programs, the Officejet 4500 Series can truly claim to be one of the

greenest, most environmentally friendly All-in-Ones on the market.

HP Officejet 4500

All-in-One Printer

“Just when I thought that it was impossible to lower the price point of

an ADF-equipped four-function color AiO, HP unleashes the Officejet

4500 All-in-One on us. In testing, the system performed very capably

and exactly as we would expect from similar products coming from

HP. Its thoughtful design and familiar feature set should satisfy the

needs of SMB and home-office users, especially those looking for an

AiO/MFP with SMB-class features at a very affordable price point.” -

Terry Wirth, President, Wirth Consulting.
