When it arrived first impressions were good. I liked the look of the printer and the box told me I could get up to 3 years of printing from the ink inside the box, bonus!
Setting up the printer wasn't as simple as it made out. Emptying the ink bottles into the tank was easy and quite satisfying to watch, but installing the cartridges was tricky as they were quite far inside the printer and it was difficult to see. I also had trouble installing the black cartridge and was worried at one point I would end up breaking it due to the force I had to use.
Setting up on my laptop and ipad was simple enough,having already had HP Smart installed from a previous printer. It took quite a while for the WiFi to connect to it however.
The stand out feature for me so far is the print quality. I had printed on vinyl and the colours looked so vibrant, there was no ink run either which I have experience on other HP printers. I am very impressed with the quality.
The one dubious part for me is the 3 years worth of ink, as stated on the box. Whilst looking on HP to see if instant ink is an option for when it runs out (it isnt) the SmartTank blurb on the site tells you that you get 2 years worth of ink inside the box. I understand that time will depend on how often you use the printer, however to have a years difference is actually quite a lot.
I would recommend this printer solely for the print quality itself. The small issues can definitely be overlooked for them.
