HP Officejet 4355 All-in-One

11 Dec, 2007, 5:30 pm IST | by Laiq Qureshi |


HP ink tends to produce slightly saturated prints with vibrant colors, presumably to make them look catchy. Thankfully the prints weren’t grainy, unless you try looking through the magnifying glass. Yet it’s low on detailing. Some of our tests showed really messed-up details.


In our rather extensive font test, the prints produced quite clean results with no ink spillage. That apart, the HP 4355 is a sub-par scanner, with dull results. One thing I didn’t approve of is that the printer takes way too long to print. For a full-scale A4-sized high quality print, it took about 12 minutes, which is really long. It took about 8 minutes to print 20 pages of text.

The color cartridge ran out of ink after about 145 prints. The color cartridge costs Rs 775 and the black cartridge is priced at Rs 675, while the combo can be bought at Rs 1,200.

Rs 6,800 is rather a steep price for an MFD with performance like that of the HP Officejet 4355. If you consider vibrant colors and lack of grain in the prints as plus points, sure enough the 4355 is an okay choice. If you don't mind waiting a while for the results, that is.

Would you buy it?
