In order to be an efficient salesman, you have to have access to tools that can make your work easier. One of which could well be a printer. Every salesman is in need of a printer, whether it is for printing notes, brochures or marketing materials.
Unfortunately, because of the nomadic lifestyle that this profession entails, these professionals often turn to local printing shops for this need. This can be a major inconvenience and expense. If you are such a salesman, then what you need is an HP portable printer.
To be more specific, what could be your need is the HP OfficeJet H470 WBT, an old discontinued model from HP or the current HP OfficeJet 100. They offer a lot of advantages and are a valuable work tool to a traveling salesman, businessman as well as a whole host of other professionals.
HP Previous Offerings
The HP OfficeJet H470 WBT Mobile Printer is, as already said, a discontinued HP portable printer but may still be available through other sources such as Amazon sometimes. The reason why this printer has been so popular over time is for reasons of speed, quality and convenience.
For a salesman, time is very important. This printer has as its main consideration that is why it was known for being the fastest portable printer on the market. It can print up to 22 pages in one minute. If you’re the kind of guy that’s always in a hurry, then this was the printer for you. A 100-page report is done in less than 5 minutes
When it comes to quality it never fell short compared to desktop printers. It can print the same high resolution as other printers. With its small size, you can still expect it to print a high-resolution document at 4800 x 1200 dots per inch. Imagine that degree of quality of output in less than 3 seconds.
With that kind of resolution, you can do more besides printing documents. You can even print graphics as well as photos. A full-page photo however will take more time to print since it will need to use all its color resources in printing.
The main feature that this printer has is portability. It comes in a sleek package that can be easily slipped into any suitcase. Its weight is less than 5lbs, which makes it very convenient to carry. It has an internal battery, which is good for 480 pages on a full charge. The HP OfficeJet H470 WBT certainly has a lot to offer and everything it offers is clearly what traveling salesmen need: a fast, portable and dependable printer.
The HP OfficeJet H470 Mobile Printer is the base model which comes with no battery or Bluetooth. The base model can be found for around $250 and you will need to add the HP C8263A Lithium Ion Battery for around $65. If at any time you want to add the capability to be able to print wirelessly, then the HP bt500 Bluetooth USB is what you need for an additional $30.
Another purchasing option is to buy the HP H470b OfficeJet Mobile Printer which comes supplied with a battery but costing you as much as around $385. If you want wireless option then again with this model you have to buy it separately.
These options are important to be aware of, as if you try to seek out the HP OfficeJet H470wbt Mobile Printer, you may come short of finding one. If you do find this model version, you will be blessed with battery and Bluetooth already supplied. A fully charged battery will give you 500 prints.
Best Option for Value
This leads me on to what in my view is by far the best option for purchasing a HP mobile printer. The current HP OfficeJet 100 Mobile Printer is excellent value for money and the introduction of this model onto the market means that printing portably is now simply far more affordable. The reason is that this model sensibly comes with battery and Bluetooth already as standard and is priced very reasonably under $230 on sites such as Amazon.
Performance
It is not overly packed with features but it certainly delivers quality and speed. What it can do is produce lab-quality borderless 4” x 6” color photos and give you a very fair speed of 22ppm for black prints and on color it delivers you 18ppm. It has a maximum resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi in color.
It includes an input tray that can contain up to 50 sheets of plain paper and photo media up to 5 sheets. It can print up legal size.
Best value
Of all the mobile printers on the market, the HP OfficeJet 100 is possibly the best value for money there is on the market. It makes mobile printing affordable for many. It may not be as high in print quality as the Canon Pixma iP100 but it has been very well received and the print quality is still exceptional.
Considering you can find a model for around $230 and further considering the print quality, there is no better choice around at the moment for value with fine quality.
