I initially had trouble being able to purchase the printer due to limited availability in the nearest store to me. Managed to get hold of one but I was away on holiday so only just collected it to start using it.
I was looking to upgrade from my current professional HP laser jet black and white printer which has stood me in good stead for nearly 12 years, however, replacement cartridges have become expensive.
The HP Smart Tank 555 seems to be a good solution for me, and also means I can send jobs to the printer wirelessly, thus making my life easier.
On taking out the printer from the box, the instructions seemed to be relatively clear, but could’ve done with a brief written explanation as well.
I was surprised at how straightforward and easy it was to fill the ink tanks. The ink bottles provided appear to have a non-return valve of sorts which prevent spillage/leakage.
I did find installing the print heads difficult as the instructions were not easy to follow. I checked out the YouTube videos and the on-line instructions from the HP website, which helped me to complete this.
The printer feels a bit lightweight compared to my previous HP Deskjet, but does look sleek and modern, and the darker colours of the external casing enable it to look unobtrusive. It takes up little space on my home office table.
I installed the app on my laptop, mobile phone and tablet (all using the Apple IOS operating system). This was straightforward and I have sent various print jobs from all my devices from different rooms in my property, all without any problems. Quick and easy. Previously I would have had to connect to my printer via a USB cable and couldn’t print from mobile devices.
My overall Impressions are that I am very pleased with the printer, and believe this will meet my small business needs and improve my productivity no end. I am happy with what I’ve seen so far, but will reserve judgement on running costs, once I know how much printing I will get from the ink tanks. Once I understand this I will consider whether or not it is worth subscribing to the HP ink service.
Another benefit offered by HP is an extended 2 year warranty - which is excellent. One other aspect that I’m not clear about is whether or not the used refill ink bottles can be easily recycled - I hope they can be!
Thumbs up from me at this stage.
