The mid-range multifunctional device with excellent technical specifications and affordable price is the HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515. It is this universal device that combines a copier, printer and scanner in one case, which will be discussed in detail in this article.
Niche
Most of the technical specifications clearly and unequivocally include the HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515 MFPs. First of all, this is a communication list, which in this case is much larger than the budget MFPs at the budget level. You can also add print quality and speed to this.
The only significant drawback of this model is the initial lack of a complete NPS system. But if necessary, this multiplying and printing device can be understaffed with such an external system and turn the HP 4515 into a real factory for printing, copying and scanning.
List of interfaces
A major advantage of the HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515 over competitors is the list of interfaces. In this case, it consists of three points: USB, card reader and Wi-Fi. The first one is wired, and it is most practical to use it in cases where such an MFP is located at a distance of up to 2 meters from the PC system unit. The second is most convenient to use when printing from a memory card of a mobile phone or digital camera in the absence of an interface cord for connecting to a computer. Well, the presence of a wireless Wi-Fi interface allows you to turn the hero of this review into a real print server. At the same time, to print from any local network device in such a situation, it is only necessary to fulfill two conditions: network coverage and 220 V sockets for organizing the power supply of the multifunction device. Nowadays, not every premium MFP can boast of such a communication kit, but they are all implemented in the hero of this material.
Paper
The HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515 printer is primarily designed to print on A4 sheets . That is, the largest page sizes in this case correspond to 210 mm in width and 297 mm in length. Also, if necessary, you can output on this multifunction device and on sheets with smaller sizes: A5, L etter and B5. In the list of supported formats there are also photographs, the size of which is limited to 18x21. The minimum density of the pages is 60g / m 2, and this is a typical value for most ordinary white sheets.
But it is unacceptable to carry out the conclusion of documentation on so-called newsprint on such a multifunction device : it has a density of about 30 g / m 2 , so using it on such a printing device can take the latter out of standing. The maximum density of paper pages in this case corresponds to a value of 300 g / m 2 . As a rule, high-quality images and photographs are printed on such dense material.
Speed specifications
The HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515 boasts a sufficiently high output speed for a printed document and a multiple copy. In monochrome printing and when a document is output in draft mode, this multifunction device can produce 17 pages in one minute.
If you use this MFP as a multiplier, then the number of copies in this situation will increase to 21 pages. Similar speed characteristics of this MFP in case of printing or copying in color mode. When printing a color document, their number will be equal to 17 pieces, and when copying - 21. Significantly reduced speed in case of a photo output. It takes 64 seconds to get one such print with dimensions of 10x18 with maximum quality.
Resolution
Identical values for resolution at 4800x1200 are set in print and multiplier modes. As a result, from the standpoint of print quality, the hero of this review is not much inferior to photo printers. Moreover, both printed documents and multiplied copies have this permission. More modest resolution in case of scanning. Its value corresponds to 1200 dpi. On the one hand, this is a modest value, but given that entry-level multipliers have a sensor at 300 dpi, or at best 600 dpi, it turns out that the hero of this review is capable of producing good digital copies of documents and images.
Reviews and price
At present, HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515 can be purchased for 7,000 rubles. Reviews, in turn, indicate full compliance with the price and technical specifications of this multifunction device. First of all, in this case, it is necessary to highlight a list of interfaces, which includes three possible methods for printing. Also, high-speed specifications are quite good for this printing, multiplying and scanning device.
If you use this MFP without the NPS system, then the cost of one print will be quite high. However, it can be reduced only by installing an external NPP system. Of course, this approach requires additional investment, but this will reduce the cost of ink and cartridges in the future. It is this important feature of the multifunctional device that is indicated in most cases in the reviews by its owners.
Summary
So balanced, affordable and excellent in terms of technical specifications, the HP Deskjet INK Advantage 4515 turned out to be one of the best devices of this class in its niche. However, some of its specifications in some cases are not inferior to the flagship MFPs and photo printers. As a result, HP MFPs Deskjet INK Advantage 4515, reviews also indicate this, you can turn it into a real factory for scanning, printing and copying.
