Colour accuracy was generally good in our document tests, though red is over-saturated. There is a loss of clarity in text when using a 7pt font, but the multifunction retains decent quality when the text is enlarged to 20pt.
Text in mono documents is of a decent standard and characters are easily readable if a little bolder than those more expensive printers produce. These aren't the slowest print speeds around - and the HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One manages to keep pace with the more expensive Brother MFC-490CW - but the speeds aren't amazing. A4 photos are quite a bit slower, taking an average of 3min to print. HP's claimed 4圆in photo print speed of 51sec was closer to what we experienced photos took about a minute to print. It took roughly 20-21 seconds for the first page of a draft document to print.
Colour documents averaged 11.3ppm (draft) and 3.2ppm (normal). Similarly, HP's quoted mono print speed of 9ppm when using normal quality was faster than the 7.2ppm we averaged. HP claims the multifunction can print draft mono documents at up to 28 pages per minute, but in our tests it only managed 16.7ppm. Our print speed tests often match those figures quoted by HP but we found some discrepancies when testing the Officejet J4580 All-in-One.
Cancelling tasks can often take several seconds, and initiating regular cartridge cleaning and alignment must be done from the control panel itself rather than software on the PC. The control panel on the Officejet J4580 is extremely basic, and can be hard to use at times.
