The HP H470wbt is a mobile inkjet printer designed specifically for printing documents and photos while on the go.

It’s highly versatile and portable allowing you to print from notebooks, cameras, phones or your SD card.

The H470wbt model includes a rechargeable battery and a Bluetooth wireless adaptor which make it that much more convenient to take with you on the road. We were chuffed with how well the Bluetooth adaptor worked and how easy it was to configure.

The printer offers quality prints but weighs just 2.3kg with the battery attached. This makes it fairly easy to lug about. In terms of design the printer has a sleek, neat black finish and comes with a leatherette carry case which helps to protect the printer from dirt, scrapes and scratches. It also boasts relatively quick printing speeds of up to 22ppm. In all this is a great printer.

Our only niggle is the print quality. “Office quality” prints is a term that we use quite loosely in this regard. Do not expect to replace your office printer with the H470 if you need high quality prints. Do expect a stylish mobile printer.

PROS
Weighing just 2.3kg with the battery attached the H407 is ultra-portable.
CONS
Print quality isn't quite office quality; offer a little less performance than specs suggest.
