Big but very versatile

Well, the printer arrived safely and well packed but it is a lot bigger than I thought. I had to make space to find a convenient place for it in my study. It took quite some time to set up and I found the cartridges hard to place correctly initially. It is also quite hard to break off the orange lever on the cartridges.
It also took me a while to download the app on my mobile and Mac and to sign up to HP.
I still need to read all of the user manual to find out all about the features and capabilities of my new HP OfficeJet Pro 8024, but so far I am really pleased with it.
After the initial setup I printed some photos and they came out really well. I wasn’t sure if the gloss paper had to be place up or down in the tray, therefore the first print was on the wrong side.
At first I became rather worried about the expense of using all that ink for photos as on my previous printers it worked out very expensive. On checking my emails from HP all ink was actually included in the free 9 months ink trial. Wow! 900 copies every months for 9 months!
How good is that!! When the free ink trial ends there are several options to choose from for a monthly payment depending on the number of copies made per month.
I have now tried the scanner and it was also quite easy to use, place the documents straight on the glass or in the document feeder. There are several options, e.g. print straight from scan, fax, or save the scans.
I have already received a new set of cartridges in the post although I only have used just under a quarter of the colour cartridges and maybe 10% of the Black. There was also a bag to return the empties for recycling included.
I also received an email explaining about HP+yesterday. Some of the benefits are that I get one extra year warranty. The HP+ also enhances scans with by removing marks and hole punches. I take lots of photos of recipes from cookery books and it flattens curved pages on scans and separates the pages.
The only negative so far: The App/Program takes a while to load/open on my Mac but printing from my mobile is easy and fast. The paper tray is a little stiff to pull out. It would be great if the little screen could be turned to right or left as it would be easier to read when the side of the printer is against a wall on the left.
Apart from that I am really pleased with my new printer.
