I do not recommend spending my money on this.

General impression: the printer is a piece D))). Want to throw it away. However, if you only print documents for work or school, perhaps even with pictures, and you don't need photo quality, you probably won't even notice most of the shortcomings. But for this model, photo printing is declared, but the printer cannot cope with it.
HP can only be praised for the reasonable price of the original ink, which lasts for a very long time. Well, it’s convenient that there are not very expensive printheads on sale. Although if you consider that they break from any sneeze, then their low cost is relative.
The printer was bought a couple of years ago. First, it lay new in the package for a long time, then it was connected (connection, setup and refueling, fortunately, are simple). Used it quite a bit for printing documents. Then the printer was turned off for a long time. In turn, black and then color printheads began to give errors. The black one was revived, but the color one refused to work at all. After resetting the error and printing a test page, it again fell into an error.
The printer was abandoned and so stood until the end of the warranty (there was no time to deal with it). As soon as his hands reached him, he replaced both printheads in it at once with a set. The printer came to life, earned, and, it seems, everything is fine. But in reality it turned out that only documents can be printed on it, and even then the black cartridge periodically streaks heavily. He is helped by cleaning the driver for a short time.
The color cartridge is not completely cleaned. The nozzle test shows defects in all colors except for yellow (or they are simply not visible on yellow).
Photos are always printed with stripes. On all photos at the end, part of the picture is not normally printed. The degree of non-printing varies. Sometimes almost a good photo comes out.
New heads are only a week old, and the more I test photo printing, the more I am convinced that the printer model is unsuccessful. You can come to terms with color reproduction (this is not a professional photo printer), but the stripes and the non-printable area are depressing.

Pros

Profitability (due to the built-in CISS), Wi-Fi, not very expensive printheads and original inks. Device design. The printer prints normal documents well. Photos are printed at first glance not bad, even despite the incorrect color reproduction (even on HP photo paper and original inks), but only if you look at them from afar))). Quality settings are all, of course, maximum. HP Real Life doesn't help. The printed poster on A4 glossy paper seems to look chic, but if you look closely, you can see small stripes. There is also a poorly printed area at the end of the sheet, as in the 10x15 photographs (this is almost imperceptible on the attached scan of the printout with Sonic). For A4 glossy posters, the printer is suitable if you do not consider the posters up close. A certain number of photos, through long torment and torment, will probably be printed, but not without defects.

Cons

The reliability of the printer tends to zero. Printheads can break just like that. The printer streaks on photos and pictures even with new heads, and no cleaning through the driver helps. You cannot pump ink through the CISS if you remove and install the old heads. Pumping is possible only for new heads 1 time. Printing photos from a phone via Wi-Fi is of poor quality with any settings. At the same time, you also need to register in the program. When printing with computer settings, you can achieve acceptable quality, if not for printing defects. The nozzle test absolutely always shows defects. Perhaps the CISS is leaking, but there's nothing to be done about it. And this is on a practically new printer. The print quality diagnostics page absolutely always gives out defects (horizontal stripes on several colors), which, to one degree or another, remain after cleaning through the program. The color rendition in the photo is so-so even on the vaunted original HP glossy photo paper, but this is more of a feature. In the print settings for photos, it makes no sense to choose anything other than "HP Photo Paper", otherwise the black color is smeared from the finished photo from any paper (glossy and even matte paper of increased density with the vaunted Color Lock). If you select HP Photo Paper, black smudges are not smeared on any type of paper. Apparently, the company specifically implemented this programmatically and physically (when the printer chooses ink when printing) so that everyone buys HP photo paper to print photos. The printer in the photographs does not print 1-2 cm at the end either on A6 (10x15) or on A4. Moreover, the degree of this non-printing is always different and random. This is either a pale stripe, or an almost well-printed area. It can be seen in the attached photo (mountains and sky) on the right side. The scanner builds an image from some strange patterns. Even at the highest resolution, it is impossible to scan any of the graphics so that later it looks decent when printed on A4 photo paper. But the scanner at least works stably - and okay.

It will do for 1-2-10 pieces of paper per month, but you can buy something cheaper. I would not recommend.
