If you print a lot of colour, this is a brilliant deal. You get a five month free trial of HP instant ink and then another £67 code which is enough to buy another 19 months of the £3.49 per month 100 prints contract. You can roll over up to 100 prints per month. If you print out lots of photos, this contract could save you a lot of money. The duplex printer/scanner/copier/fax or the 2 year ink deal is essentially free, whichever way to choose to look at it.
PC World is selling the 4658 with the five month trial but without the £67 printing credit for £79.99 which puts this deal into perspective.
Use the code FREEINK for an extra month of free printing. Thanks to the posters below for the code.

2400 pages at £60 works out at 2.4p per page.
That's nothing special generally but as you say it's good if you print out ink-heavy pages like photos a lot as Instant Ink only counts pages rather the ink use so the cost doesn't increase. It seems to get good reviews for photo quality too.

It is a special price when the 2.4p price includes the cost of the consumables and the capital cost of a full-colour sheet-fed duplex printer/copier/scanner/fax.

Nice. ADF is always handy.
I've got a way older version of this printer, same main functions anyway, but it doesn't have AirPrint.
My son is always bugging me about being able to print out stuff he has on his iPad so that might be useful.
Only thing I don't like about this is the tri-colour cartridge but I suppose the Instant Ink gets around that disadvantage.

It states on the product page it has Airprint

There are other printers available with similar costs. For example an Epson ET-3600 for £200 comes with 8,500 colour pages worth of ink which works out at 2.35p per page over many more pages (this HP goes up to 3.5p per page after the 24 months/2400 pages). It also comes with 2,500 additional pages worth of black ink on top of that.
That will be the standard 20% coverage though, so full page images like photographs will be cheaper on this machine.

How do these compare to the Envy 4500 models? I don't need the fax facility...

You can, but there are much better value alternatives if you're going to do that.

Another one who thinks this 'subscription ink' thing is not for me.
I have three printers now and wouldn't even dream of going down that road.
They'd need to be servicing the printer as well.
Very frustrating morning having to sort out someone else's subscription HP.
Took me ages getting onto the website to find out why the ink in the printer wouldn't work.
They had been subscribing for six months, couldn't get it to work after the first month
and went down to the local shop and bought the cartridges.
They were still paying the subscription until I cancelled it today. Never used it hardly.
So no, not recommended for the less savvy punter.
