H470WBT Mobile

The HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer targets people who travel a lot yet need to print reports, photos, and brochures straight from a notebook, camera, or phone.

High-quality text and photo printing Prints from Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cards

Erratic paper feed Slow performance

Though it offers desktop-quality printing from a wide variety of devices, the H470 is hampered by slow performance. Still, mobile users will find it a worthy competitor to Canon's portable Pixma iP90v

HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer

The HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer delivers nearly desktop printer quality and speed in a portable package.

Portable. Optional Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and rechargeable battery.

Subpar text for an ink jet. Heavier than some notebooks, at 4.5 pounds for the printer itself. ; Watch the HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer Video Review!

HP Officejet H470 review: HP Officejet H470

HP Officejet H470

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

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

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...

HP Officejet H470wf Mobile Printer

The casing of the Officejet H470wbt is almost identical to the 460c, but this time HP went with a matte black finish instead of silver. Aesthetically, we really enjoy the design of the H470wbt. The corners are contoured and the flaps all neatly fold...

HP Officejet H470 Mobile Inkjet Printer

The HP Officejet H470 could be convenient if for some reason you need a nearly full-size printer that comes with a vinyl carrying case with no handle or place for cables, and that can run off a battery and connect wirelessly or via Bluetooth. But since...

Battery or AC power, Networkable via wired / wireless network

Slow, So-so color quality, Small paper input tray (50 sheets maximum), Pricey, Error prone

HP Officejet H470b

Efficient printing on the go

Battery, small, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi not built-in, some colour issues

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...

HP OfficeJet H470 Mobile Inkjet Printer

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