Pleasantly Quiet

As a teacher who designs classroom decor products, I was looking for a printer that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg for ink. I go through a LOT.
Setting up the HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer was a snap. Simply pour the ink into the reservoir (it has a non leak bottle that only dispenses once it is clicked into the right spot), snap in the printer heads, plug in, and go.
I was super impressed with the quality of the prints. It even allows for borderless printing.
The biggest surprise was how quiet it was while printing. I also currently have an Officejet 7740 (which I LOVE for printing large format posters), but it is very loud. The HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer was so quiet while printing.
There were only a couple drawbacks:
-It does not print in larger paper sizes borderless. At least that I could figure out anyway. It will print legal sized, but not borderless which makes a difference for me when I am printing specialty items.
-The black ink bottle contains more than the reservoir can hold (extra is always good), but I was concerned about pulling it out of the upside position and getting ink everywhere.
-It does not hold a whole ream of paper in the input tray. I will have to refill the paper tray often when printing in bulk.
Obviously those small details aren't a deal-breaker.
Overall, this all-in-one printer will be super useful for printing so many classroom decor items. I will be interested to see how long the ink goes before needing replaced and I will update my testimonial at that time. So far, I'm very happy with it.
