Editorial note

The HP OfficeJet J4680 printer stands out for its all-in-one functionality, combining printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, making it a comprehensive solution for offices. With a printing speed of up to 28 pages per minute in draft mode and a maximum resolution of 4800 x 1200 DPI, it offers exceptional print quality, ideal for professional documents. However, some drawbacks may affect its use. The printing speed in color and high quality is relatively slow, which could hinder productivity in demanding work environments. Additionally, the lack of automatic duplex printing and scanning features limits efficiency and increases paper consumption. Connectivity is also restricted, lacking both Ethernet/LAN and Wi-Fi, which can pose problems in some offices. In terms of performance, the user experience is generally positive, with a rating of 80/100 for its usability. Energy consumption is also a strong point, with low consumption in sleep mode and ENERGY STAR certification, reflecting responsible resource use. However, the internal memory of only 32 MB can lead to slowdowns when using multiple functions simultaneously, thus affecting its overall efficiency. Overall, the value for money of the HP OfficeJet J4680 is satisfactory, with a score of 78/100, thanks to its print quality and all-in-one capabilities. However, the limitations in connectivity and the printing speed in color should be considered by potential users.
