Visually, the printer makes a good impression, it is lightweight and does not take up as much space on the desk. I also find the ink tank very well solved, in contrast to other printers with one, it is integrated into the device, so you don't have an additional construct with sloshing ink in it. And most importantly, you can see the ink level when you look at the printer from the front. Because I already had that you only saw it sideways, when the printer is in a corner, you always have to move it around.
I found setting up the printer pretty easy for the most part, as I already have an HP account, it was pretty quick. I was guided through the installation step by step in the app. However, I didn't find some things quite as successful and I don't like the small display on the printer. I was once again positively surprised by the print quality, as mentioned above, it is not my first experience with a printer with an ink tank, I've even used two before, a color printer and a black and white printer. Both printers had in common that the print image was not as accurate and that the print seemed too watery to me. And it only got worse the longer you used it. Now, of course, I can't say anything about long-term experience with this printer, but I'm generally impressed by the print quality at the moment.
The rear paper drawer has advantages and disadvantages: you can always see how much paper is currently inserted, but the paper is not as protected as in an internal paper cassette.
The app allows you to print very well from your smartphone. I also had no problems with the WiFi.
I really like the fact that the ink bottles are affordable when bought again. Overall, I'm happy with the multifunction printer.
