HP Smart Tank 7605 All in One Printer | Perfect for Home | Colour | Wireless, Ethernet | Print, Scan, Copy, Fax | Refillable, Includes up to 3 Years of Ink | 2-Sided Printing | Document Feeder

Having previously owned an Epson XP-760 for about ten years, I was overall exceptionally happy with its reliability, but the single biggest drawback was the exorbitant cost of replacement cartridges, which could run up to £110 for a genuine full set of XL original inks. Deciding not to make the same expensive mistake this time around, I researched alternative options; while some comparable Epson models had mixed feedback on Amazon, the HP Smart Tank 7605 caught my attention due to much more consistently positive reviews and the fact that genuine bottle refills are priced very reasonably. Upon arrival, the printer came very securely packaged and well-protected, containing a UK three-pin power cable, an EU two-pin plug, separate print heads for black and tri colour, alongside two full black ink bottles and individual cyan, magenta, and yellow bottles. Setting up the printer proved to be a smooth process using the HP Smart app on my iPhone. As someone who always verifies app accessibility for visually impaired users, I was pleased to find that the HP setup app works fully with VoiceOver. The initial steps required creating an HP account by entering a few basic details and completing a simple link or verification code check. Connecting the unit via an Ethernet cable seamlessly configured the local network connection, though it is worth noting that plugging in Ethernet disables the Wi-Fi feature automatically, which I believe is standard behavior for these models. Once physical blue packing tape was removed and the printer was placed, the app quickly discovered the Smart Tank series on the network, requiring a quick confirmation tick on the printer’s physical display screen before moving forward. The ink filling process was straightforward, even if opening the front ink door required a slightly firm tug on the front-left cutout panel that initially made me nervous about damaging the door due to it’s resistance. Refilling is very easy. And completely mess free because each bottle aligns to a specific colour coded valve; you invert the bottle, line it up, push down until it clicks, and the ink drains automatically into the tanks, without needing any squeezing, you can see the tanks filling up by the visible windows on the front. The larger black ink bottle takes around thirty seconds to a minute to empty and might require a gentle tap at the base to get the last drops moving, whereas the colour bottles drain in under thirty seconds. Once the tanks are full and the door is secured, the app confirms successful filling and prompts for printhead installation. Opening the inner hatch reveals the printhead carriage sliding automatically into position, where pressing a blue latch releases the housing so you can unwrap the printheads, click them into their designated slots, and close the machine back up. After loading my A4 premium 90 g paper into the main cassette and running the alignment test, the setup asks you to place the printed test page face down on the flatbed scanner so the device can scan and calibrate its internal print settings. From there, the HP Smart Tank 7605 is fully operational, offering seamless AirPrint capabilities straight from iOS alongside handy remote scanning features that instantly push scanned documents directly to your mobile device for effortless sharing or emailing. Coupled with the massive page to tank based systems, printing thousands of pages out of the box, this printer eliminates the steep running costs of my older Epsom cartridge printer, while delivering a user-friendly, accessible experience. Overall, i’m very happy with its print quality, the very reasonably priced inks and how easy it’s to refill the tanks, as you don’t get ink on your hands compared to the Epson cartridges.

I had read most of the reviews before I purchased this item. It arrived on time and in good condition. I took extra care unpacking the printer from the box. The first thing I noticed was that the instruction book did not match the number on the printer and that the instructions were not in the usual packaging.I took extra care to make certain that I removed all tapes and cardboard around and within the printer. Don’t rush this. After 2 hours I had the printer set up, or so I thought. There are a few annoying things that with a little extra thought could be fixed. I is the annoying Privacy settings notice that prints over the top of your page 1 of your documents. To get rid of it you have to convert anything you want to print to PDF. I purchased this printer to save on ink and paper. Unfortunately re paper you can’t fix to print both sides as once you have printed documents the system reverts back to single pages. Speaking of pages for some reason the printer always goes back to single page print and envelope therefore I have to remember to set the printer to A4 and both sides. Connecting to the router was a tad fiddly and a bit antiquated. My very old HP ENVY Printer was fast at printing two sides/ fax/scan was an absolute dream to operate sadly they don’t make them any more. Any way back to HP smart tank Filling the ink was easy. You will have two regular inks It took me a few minutes to figure out where they went and how to remove the orange safety gadget. It’s a good enough printer but for the price I was expecting a more modern set up. Why did you choose this product over others?: I trust HP Connectivity: Fiddly Good but slower than expected. Fixed settings would be preferred as the constant need to readjust is annoying. Scanning capability: Very good at scanning picture quality very good Printer functionality: A tad old fashioned and fiddley but workable Ink capacity: Excellent Colour quality: Excellent Functionality: Could be improved. Nothing major just needs a more modern approach to settings.

So, when our trusty old HP all-in-one finally gave up the ghost, thought we'd give this Smart Tank model a go. As per the recommendations in these reviews, followed the setup guide to the letter. All went well until the printer flatly refused to recognise that it had a full tank of black (K) ink on board. I tapped and cajoled it till the cows came home - to no avail. That's a day that I'll never get back. But, unusually for me, I decided to sleep on the problem. Following day, I found a useful post on the HP Community Group. The thing that did the trick was to reach down and around the black ink tank with a microfibre cloth and give it a good rub. Bingo! All systems go! Since then, it's been as good as gold. Print quality is pin-sharp and network integration is seamless. Love it.

This scanner/printer is not easy to set up although they have tried to be as practical as possible but there’s a lot of bits of cardboard and sticky back plastic to remove and potentially forget to remove, which can cause difficulty. As seems to be the way these days, instructions are online which is a faff and there’s not much help in unpacking the printer etc. in it. It was easy to connect to the internet. The app for using it is useless: it’s clumsy and it’s difficult to access files from your Apple iCloud using Apple iOS. Fortunately apple allows direct printing from Word, Pages, Excel and photos etc. without the need for the app. I must stress how poor this app is; it is really bad for a company as large as HP. The quality of printed photos on Photo Glossy paper is good but not of a professional level. Printing documents is very slow which necessitates the need to change from the default ‘Normal’ setting to ‘Draft’ quality with is a pain to have to do. The printer often jams, its the worst I have known over the last three printers we have had. I know this is often a ‘user error’ but it shouldn’t have to be that complicated for an average user to get it right. The best thing about it is the cost of ink and its very low usage of ink which makes up for a lot of the above. This was a Which best buy (which again leads me to question Which’s reviews, which is another story)!? I would not recommend it. ## UPDATE## Further to the above, the printer is consistently failing to print from MacBook Air and iPad. Switching the printer on and off appears the only way to get it to print. Therefore I would definitely not recommend this printer.

Works well. Printed material looks very good. Not a “plug and play” item but managed to set up fairly easily. Once set up, easy to use. Should be a lot cheaper to run than a cartridge printer. Haven’t quite mastered the scanning functions yet. Not finding it easy to save images to selected folders. More practice needed!!

Good print quality, but flimsy sheet feeder which jammed frequently. Software recovery not possible and printer had to be shut down and restarted. Poor compatibility with MacOS. Could not scan with Preview App, but only with the HP App.

As an office manager used to large industrial printers, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a home colour printer but I’ve been really impressed with the HP Smart Tank 7605. It's a fantastic choice for home use if you take your time with the setup, which is straightforward if you’re patient and follow the instructions exactly, even down to removing the bits of internal packing cardboard in the right order. I recommend going straight to the HP website once it’s plugged in, as it’ll walk you through linking it to your Wi-Fi and handle most of the installation with helpful prompts. I also downloaded the app, and can also print direct from my iPhone too. Filling the ink is easy — just press the bottles down firmly until they click into place. Installing the print heads takes a bit of care to make sure they’re facing the right way, but again, the instructions guide you through it. Print quality is great, especially for colour and photos. It’s not lightning-fast (don’t expect office-grade speeds!), and it can be a little noisy and clunky, but for home projects, it does the job beautifully. A few tips: Keep it switched on 24/7 — it uses hardly any energy in standby mode, but this helps it stay updated and prevents the print heads and ink from drying out. Print a page once a week if it’s not in regular use, which stops it from drying out too. I bought the optional 3-year warranty for peace of mind — worth it at the sale price. It’s light enough to move around and compact enough to live happily in a corner of my kitchen. Overall, I’m really pleased. It’s a solid, well-designed printer with refillable ink tanks and smart features that make it a great investment for home use. The ink supplied should last for 6,000 pages and original refills are good value for money. UPDATE: It's now June and I've been using this printer a lot, without any issues. However, 2 weeks after I bought it my PC did a big update and whenever I tried to print, my PC said 'rendering error'. After a while, I realised I could still print perfectly from my iPhone, so it wasn't a printer error. I realised that I had installed the HP Smart App on my PC, but my PC had uninstalled the printer. So if you get this error, just install the printer the old fashioned way on your PC and only after doing that, reinstall the HP Smart app. That'll fix it.

Overall very happy with my purchase, love the compact, yet practical design. I really like the illuminated ink tank windows so the ink levels are viewed with ease. Scanner lid and ink access panel hinges could be designed better, so printer can be pushed closer to a wall without having to be pulled out far every time scanner needs to be used and ink requires refilling. Very pleased all the same with ease of use and comprehensive instructions.

Amazon har inte klarat av att leverera produkten trots absolut löfte, trovärdigheten är i botten.

Adepte de Canon, j'ai acheté cette imprimante pour remplacer une Canon G4511 tombée en panne au bout de 9 mois et non réparable (remboursée par Amazon). Et là, c'est le jour et la nuit. La qualité de finition est largement supérieure à celle de Canon. Au déballage, on se dit "pas d'écran tactile... Dommage !". A l'allumage, on voit le petit écran tactile invisible qui s'allume, très bien réussi. L'installation est un jeu d'enfant si on prend la peine de télécharger le logiciel HP Smart sur Microsoft Store ou Google Play. Tout est expliqué étape par étape avec des illustration. Un enfant de 5 ans pourrait y arriver tout seul. Le remplissage des réservoir est d'un simplicité incroyable, beaucoup plus simple que chez Canon car il suffit de bien insérer les bidons d'encre à la verticale pour qu'il se remplisse tout seul. Des leds éclairent les réservoir pour pouvoir les remplir dans le noir (ça ne sert à rien, mais c'est beau !). Aucun risque de claquer le capot lors de sa fermeture, il est amorti et vient se poser tout doucement sur l'imprimante. Un autre led éclaire la sortie papier de l'imprimante et s'anime lorsqu'elle travaille (ça ne sert toujours à rien, mais c'est très beau !). D'après mes premiers tests, le scan est de très bonne qualité, de même que l'impression qui est particulièrement silencieuse (en tous cas, par rapport à mes précédentes Canon). Le bac à papier est grand (250 pages, soit une demi ramette). Quand on regarde la qualité de fabrication, on n'est pas déçu. La vitre du scanner comporte deux parties : une pour le scan à plat et une autre pour le scan à partir du chargeur de feuilles (35 feuilles, quand même). La finition est tout bonnement irréprochable. L'application est très ergonomique (user friendly, comme on dit quand est braché) et ne nécessite aucune autre installation (contrairement à Canon chez qui il faut télécharger les pilotes, et 2 ou 3 applications plus ou moins utiles). En conclusion, un rapport qualité/prix excellent, la simplicité aussi. Je suis bluffé ! A voir dans le temps. PS : je n'ai pas d'action HP... Ni Canon, d'ailleurs.

Estupenda imprime con muy buen detalle, es un poco lenta tanto para imprimir como para escanear pero si no tienes prisa es tu impresora

Der Drucker lies sich gut in das Netzwerk einbinden. Er ist über die Computer und Smartphones direkt ansprechbar und druckt alles wie gewünscht aus. Ich bin bisher mit dem Kauf voll zufrieden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen
