From the moment you open the HP 7005’s box it becomes clear that ease of use has been at the forefront of its design. Whilst you can choose to set it up manually, HP also provide an app for first-time setup. I chose to go this route, and I can tell you that I have never had an easier time setting up a peripheral. The app walks you through each step of the setup process, from removing the protective packaging, to connecting to wifi, to filling the ink tanks. The included illustrations were instructive and incredibly easy to follow. I was a little nervous about the included bottles of ink, having only used printer cartridges in the past, but filling the ink tanks was surprisingly straightforward, and my fears of spilt ink and mess proved happily unfounded.
Once set up, the printer continues to be incredibly efficient. Printing over wifi is fast and reliable, and the printer turns out simple black-and-white pages at an impressive clip. I also put the printer through its paces with some photos and graphic logos printed on glossy photo paper, and whilst the print speed was understandably reduced, I can’t argue with the crisp, vibrantly-coloured results. It truly is a workhorse, producing prints of images and text that far exceed my requirements.
Scanning is quick and simple via the included flatbed. An automatic document feeder is a notable absence here, though I have found these tend to be a common point of failure on consumer-grade printers and can be more hassle than they’re worth. In any event, scanning is straightforward and the images created are beautifully crisp.
Overall, the printer meets and exceeds my expectations. It’s a true all-in-one, in that not only does it do everything, but it does everything well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a home or small business device.
