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

I recently acquired a new printer, selecting this model primarily for its Smart Tank capabilities. The setup process was straightforward, and the printer was operational within approximately 15 minutes. The print quality is excellent, and the printer's speed is notably efficient. I highly recommend this printer for those seeking a new device, and its price point is considered reasonable.

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.

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.

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.

Brilliant little printer. Performs well, ink is cheap and lasts an age. Previously ripped-off by the ‘Cartridge People’ where my replacement Canon laser cartridges cost more than this whole printer including cartridges! This printer is exceptional value for money.

Fast delivery via amazon prime, the HP Smart Tank 7605 All in One Printer is very well made, setup instructions are straight forward, ink capacity is brilliant, functionality is very good, noise level is low, wireless connectivity is simple to set up and strong, the ink filling is very easy and effortless, print quality is excellent, printing speed is more the adequate, looks very pleasant on the eye, this is my 2nd HP printer and I must say so far its a masive improvement, the new type of ink refilling is so much better and easier than the old type; This is a brilliant unit.

Brilliant Printer. Easy to set up and very easy to use. Ink supplied. It’s a fax, photocopier and printer all In one.

For the sake of context, I bought this to replace an HP OfficeJet pro 9600 that had developed a fault in the printing system. The things that I particularly like about this printer are: 1. It uses ink bottles rather than cartridges, which seems to me a much better approach. 2. The printer comes with "3 years of ink". Whereas I cannot yet be sure exactly how long it will last, I can report that it does come with a substantial quantity of ink, which will last significantly longer than the average inkjet cartridge printer. 3. It comes with an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder). Unfortunately, it is not a duplex scanner, unlike my previous printer, but I didn't seem to be able to find one in the range that had this facility, so that is worth bearing in mind. 4. Although HP has been criticised for some of its aggressive DRM on its inkjet cartridges, I am a Linux user and they have consistently supported my favourite OS. However, bear in mind that most modern printers are "driverless", so other printers would likely work okay anyway. 5. It has an ethernet port, which allows me to use a wired connection that I prefer (and is what I used with my previous printer). It does of course have Wi-Fi connection capability. The printing quality is as good as one might expect from a modern inkjet printer, so I have no complaints. It is capable of borderless prints up to A4 size, so par for the course. There are one or two things that I have personally found some difficulties with: When using the ADF, it does have a nasty habit of pulling in a couple of pages at a time, which you have to watch out for. To be fair, this is something that I sometimes experienced with that old HP OfficeJet pro. Also regarding the ADF: it is sometimes surprisingly difficult to get the paper to feed in and not end up with a scan that is slightly out of alignment. You have to be very careful about how you feed the paper in. Finally, although this is a theoretical advantage for now, it is obvious from when you set the printer up in the first place, that the print head should be easily replaceable. As this is a component that is most likely to fail in some way, there is at least a chance that you might not have to throw the whole printer away if something goes wrong – although that does depend on how much a replacement would cost! All in all, I would recommend this printer/scanner.
