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

submitted by AH - 5 months ago
  • A: Can you print an index card 3x5

    submitted byD - 3 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.

Q: Can I use stencil paper on this printer? Like a thermal printer

submitted by Daved - 19 days ago
  • A: Hi Daved, thanks for reaching out about HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Printer Scanner Copier with Instant Ink and HP+ (588S6A) Stencil paper is not supported on this printer.

  • 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.

Q: Do I need a home phone line to use or send a fax

submitted by Suggamamma - 18 days ago
  • A: Thank you for your question about this HP DeskJet all-in-one inkjet printer! It does not have fax built into it. The HP Smart app has outbound internet fax and there are some apps that handle bidirectional fax through the internet. The OfficeJet Pro series machines all have fax built into those and those require a land line. Target sells those in-store and online.

    No issue with the quality of printing , but as a previous review said , I have spent more time troubleshooting than printing . It is constantly losing connection . I have to constantly restart the device completely. It uses ink extremely fast . It wasn’t the priciest printer but still not worth the money it cost . Would not recommend at all

    This is the worst printer I have ever purchased. The set up was so lengthy, I almost took it back right away. I had to download apps to my phone & computer just to set it up. It will not stay connected to the internet and has no hard line to plug into my computer. The ink runs out so fast, it costs a fortune and the paper tray holds about 25 pieces of paper. I have spent more time troubleshooting than actually printing.

    Not the easiest printer to set up. The price was reasonable. Was able to print documents but was unable complete setup to get my free three months of ink. I keep getting an error message and told to try again later. I remember when you you used to get six months of free ink when you bought a new printer.

    The paper is always jammed up. It printed 1 copy and jammed. I was using the wireless printing featurs when half way through printing I noticed the paper feeder was off and the copies were coming out all distorted. I tried several times to realign the paper and nothing worked like it was advertised. Im glad I saved the receipt because this piece of garbage is going back to the store!
