Q: Is this printer an ink jet or laser printer? Can you print on vellum with this printer?

submitted by AH - 2 years ago
  • A: Does this print labels and photos

    submitted byPatrick - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi AH, thanks for reaching out about HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Printer Scanner Copier with Instant Ink and HP+. The HP DeskJet 4255e is an inkjet printer. Printing on Vellum: While inkjet printers can generally print on a variety of paper types, including vellum, there are a few things to consider: Vellum Thickness: If the vellum is too thick, it may cause paper jams. Ink Absorption: Vellum may not absorb ink as well as regular paper, which could result in smudging or bleeding. Printer Compatibility: Some inkjet printers may not be designed to handle the thickness or texture of vellum. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

  • A: Hello and thank you for asking. The HP DeskJet 4255e printer can print on ink jet rated vellum. There’s no guarantee that the printer will print on the vellum you choose or yield satisfactory results since HP can’t test every paper on every printer. You may need to use a carrier sheet to feed the vellum. We have successfully printed on 30 lb. (44 gm2) vellum paper with an HP OfficeJet Pro printer.

    Target expert support
  • A: Hello and thank you for asking. The HP DeskJet 4255e printer is an ink jet printer. If you wish to print on stencil paper rated for use with an ink jet printer, and the paper is within the weight range of the printer, then you can use it to print on stencil paper. Please note the DeskJet 4255e printer is not compatible with thermal paper, as it does not use heat to print on such paper. It is also not capable of making an impression on the print, such as for use with carbon paper to make multiple copies, or on most transfer paper.

    HP Deskjet Printer is Great; Not so the free ink

    The HP Deskjet Printer works well, is easy to use and can print in color, b & w and scan. What is not so great are the restrictions of only using the Instant Ink cartridges and the constant emails on printer usage. A monthly ink fee is charged and always varies in amount. When your ink runs low you are supposed to get immediate replacement cartridges not so. I love the printer, but cancelled the instant ink option due to the hassle.

    Not worth it

    I do not recommend this printer, unless you very rarely need to print. I would print, nothing would come out, and I would still get charged on the monthly subscription. I also think the monthly subscription is not worth it. Just buy the ink.

    I don’t like being charged per page

    I’m happy with the quality of printing and scanning, but I’m approval with ink and don’t like that. The printer comes with a monthly ink bill. I don’t use nearly the amount of ink I receive and the printer just raises the monthly bill on its own. I regret having bought an HP now.

    Amazing printer what we like about

    What we like about a computer is very easy to follow the instruction putting the ink in taking it out and my grandson is 9 and he loves it. I just don’t know how to re-order the free ink.

    Not Happy

    I am not happy with the way the ink free and discounted prices works. I received 1 cartridge set, have been out of ink, and had to pay some based on pages. Now, I have unregistered from the ink program and I can't use my printer because you want me to get more ink. Please take me off of this and let me use my printer. I don't recall the purchase date. Take me off of whatever you have so I can use my printer. Thank you
