Smart Tank 5105 All-in-One Printer
No Value for money

I was using another printer in the same price range when I started the trial of HP Smart Tank 5105 but bit disappointed due to lack of key features and issues I have faced in my trial run so far.
1) In this price range, auto-feeder paper tray and double side auto printing is quite common in the smart tank printers category, whereas HP Smart Tank 5105 lack both auto-feeder paper tray and double side printing.
2) Print cycle (PPM) is not as promised (specs), printer hangs after printing 10-15 papers, even cycled blanks when I issued a print command of 30-35 pages.
3) I experienced issues with print commands as well, like the page sequence I specified in the print command was different to what printer actually printed.
Having said that, the print quality is still much better. It's a fine print on standard 80gsm paper. Although, I am not much happy with color print on photo paper but I haven't done any comparative analysis either when it comes to photo printing.
It's an okay device I would say but I won't recommend buying because overall it doesn't qualify or compete on value for money with similar printers in the market.
