Review: Outstanding value for money, if you can make full use of
the instant ink free trial. - I am very pleased with this so far
:) If you take full advantage of the free instant ink trial it is
an absolute bargain!! Its a large unit, so you'll need to make
sure you have space for it. HP Smart is a really basic app. So if
you have photos you want to edit before printing, you'll need a
separate app for that. The price was £89 and I was offered 5
months, interest free credit with the purchase. So am actually
paying £18 pmth for the next 5 months. In addition, as others
have mentioned, Instant Ink is heavily promoted. BUT HP give you
6 months free instant ink for buying their printer and desertcart
gave me a voucher for a further 2 months instant ink for buying
it from them. The 2 offers can be used together, so for the price
of the printer, I also got 8 MONTHS worth of free ink. I
subscribed to an instant ink subscription allowing me to print
300 pages per month and wont pay a penny for it until the end of
January of next year!! Subscription can be cancelled at any time.
As this printer allows me to print A3 size pages, I can now print
the equivalent of 600 a4 pages of photos and documents every
month and my only additional costs will be for paper and
electricity. I think that is outstanding value for money. The
subscription is based on the number of pages printed, not the
amount of ink used and theres no premium price hike for printing
in colour. It's important to make sure you subscribe to a package
that allows you to print all the pages you'll need per month, as
you will be charged for any pages over your subscribed amount,
even during the free trial period. But unused pages can be rolled
over to the next month. As long as the printer is connected to
the internet, it monitors ink in the installed cartridges and
tells HP when I'm running low, so they can send me replacement
cartridges before I run out. Postage both for sending new
cartridges and for returning used ones for recycling, is
included. So theres no additional charge for that either. Havent
tried scan or fax functions yet. But I have tried print and copy
functions and both are excellent. Text documents are clean and
crisp. Photo prints are, so far, true representations of the
original. Double sided document printing is also flawless.
Printer even dries pages as its printing them. To be very clear,
this printer can print anything sent from a pc or phone etc in
upto A3 size. But scanning and photocopying is limited to A4 size
only. Paper drawer only takes one paper size at a time, so you
have to remove and replace if you want to change paper type or
size.. It also took me a minute to work out how to use HP smart
to ensure prints came out the size and orientation i wanted.
Printer isnt the quietest, so i wont be printing at night while
folk are sleeping. But these are very minor niggles, for what
otherwise is proving to be the best purchase I've made in ages.
If you are anything like me and have 100s of digital photos on
your phone and computer but no hard copies at all, buying this
printer, while the instant ink trial is still available, may be
the cheapest possible way to turn all your digital pics into real
life photos. Also worth considering if you have a big event, like
a wedding or christening coming up and will want lots of photos
for a reasonable cost. Or are an independent artist or
photographer who wants to offer prints of their work but needs to
keep overheads low. Havent had the printer for long and havent
had any isuses at all so far. If that changes I'll update my
review.
Review: Terrible connection, software and adds unwanted
adjustments to documents - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT This is
without doubt the worst printing service, software and printer
you could possibly buy. 1. It NEVER connects, after you print,
with a 5g, wired or 2.4ghz network running at 800mbs it can take
anything from three hours to four days for the printer to print
the file. 2. the HP smart art simply does not work, you cannot
even choose which page to print, at every stage the printer
changes your document size 'to help'. 3. photo copying resizes
and make documents impossible to copy, this cannot be switched
off. 4. You cannot print without margins, meaning to print a
document without its automatic added margins you have to convince
it, it is a photo, then it will not print double sided. Trying to
print odd and even is then impossible as it collates or un
collates at random and the HP smart app is NOT good or helpful.
5. The ink deliver service is unclear, and not great value for
money. Don't buy this, I cant even print a simple 8 page document
and I and extremely computer savy.
