HP OfficeJet 250
£259.99 FROM HP, hp.com
Weighing in at 2.96kg and measuring 380.2x198.3x91.3mm, the HP OfficeJet 250 has a rechargeable internal battery with a large capacity that offers up to 225 pages of printing. It has one USB 2.0 port for direct printing from devices like flash drives, a USB 2.0 host port for connection to your Mac, as well as Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth. A copier function enables you to feed in a document and copy it without the need for a full-size scanner tray.
Straddling the desktop and mobile worlds, this is a larger, more fully featured printer that has a colour touchscreen. As such, it’s particularly suited to printing high-quality photos while out in the field and away from power. It’s slightly faster on AC than on battery, producing 18ppm in black and white and 17ppm in colour at draft quality. HP’s iOS app is excellent and allows device management, although much of this functionality is also available on the printer itself.
