Great quality printer in…

I have had experience with most printer types in my time working with technology, and so far my experience with the HP Smart Tank 7005 has been on par if not better than the rest.
Everything required for setup is well and truly included in the box apart from a USB cable (yes not necessarily needed these days and you could reuse one from your old printer, and has been the norm for most manufacturers for a while, but would cost HP all of $2 per cable for our older generations) but otherwise packaged quite well and very neatly. I was very surprised at the size and volume of the ink bottles, these easily filled the ink tanks to the brim with no spillage! The printer also has a QR code/link under the scanner door which will take you to instructions on how to move the printer to prevent ink spillage which I believe is an awesome idea (no need to rummage through your "manual" draw to find the instruction guide or fumble through the app/manually search online for the instructions).
Setup was super simple through the HP smart app, connecting to my mostly unstable WiFi within seconds, and providing easy to follow/greatly illustrated steps along the way which auto-completed without further interventions. For those who may be setting up the printer first before completing setup in the HP smart app (those who are most likely direct connecting to a PC), there are also very clear, easy to follow steps in the user guide which I believe is yet another great idea.
Once setup was complete, I found the HP smart app to provide a lot of helpful print/scan/copy features and settings on the main screen, but otherwise I would have liked to see a bigger control panel/screen to access these, but this is not too problematic. Printing a document seems faster than most wireless Laser MFC's I have ever used and quality seemed as good if not better.
The HP smart app also has a "Printables" feature/area where you can download templates for things like calendars, adults and kids colouring in, budgets, and much more, which is another great touch.
My only really disappointment in this printer is it not having a auto feeder for scanning/copying, most ink tank printers on the market, some of which are less expensive to buy have this feature, and it would make scanning single or even double sided documents easier, but otherwise there are other ways around this.
All in all, a great quality printer for today's market!
