My item arrived promptly and well packaged with no concerns to bumps or knocks along the way, some minor disappointment at the amount of polystyrene used when this is not commonly recycled.
The printer itself is beautiful to look at and compliments any office desk with its sleek design and pretty light above the print tray. Some apprehension upon finding no display on the printer although gives a simplistic appearance.
The printer itself took me around 10 - 15 minutes to set up although bearing in mine I already had the HP app, HP account and instant ink set up so its fair to say a good 30 minutes or more for full set up if your a newbie. The set up process was simple and intuitive with the HP app guiding you the whole way.
Once set up, check out the instant ink service which is prompted during set up, dependant on your printing needs this can save you money on ink and ensure out when you've left printing your boarding passes til the last minute. Personally could not fault the service, when my ink is low I receive replacements via post with a prepaid packet to send your old ones back in. The plans start from £1.99 a month for minimal usage. Also you can join HP+ giving you 6 months of instant ink for free, extra productivity features on the app, printer security and an extra year warranty.
The printer itself is fairly responsive and I have only encountered minor print issues where connectivity drops although this was rare and may not exclusively be something to blame the printer for. The pages print fairly quickly for black/text documents, the quality was on par with my laser printer at work, I use HP Premium paper that can be purchased at most stationers. Photo printing is okay with the quality being average but not poor but this is dependant on paper used also. Disappointed with the lack of a screen and controls on the printer making some basic tasks feel a chore, having to use a phone to complete most things and touch buttons on the printer aren't clear to what they do with no labelling around them.
PROS
- Fair print time
- Good at home/office quality documents
- Beautiful design
- Instant Ink/HP+/Extra warranty
- Fairly Quiet
- Wireless functions - WiFi, email docs to printer
CONS
- Photo printing average
- No screen, limiting functionality without a phone
- Not easy to shut down without disconnecting power, light stays beaming on.
Great printer with room for improvement, would recommend highly to most people but probably not the grandparents.
