Description of Inkjet MFP HP Smart Tank 515, color, A4, black
This innovative CISS device guarantees excellent quality and low cost per print. The starter set of inks will last up to 3 years of printing. Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi connects quickly, and the best-in-class HP Smart mobile printing app makes it easy to use. The best choice for home and small office, and those who need high-volume color printing with minimal consumables costs and the ability to print and scan on the go.
Pros
- 1) Norm scan 2) Printing pictures for children for coloring will do, documents
Cons
- 1) Poor print quality, I print with stripes and offsets, I did everything according to the instructions (how to correct, etc. ), nothing helped. Do NOT print documents! 2) Software is just decay, it constantly hangs and falls off 3) After I changed the wi-fi router, I can’t reconnect the printer, I do everything according to the instructions, he sees the wi-fi, says that everything is fine, but the macbook and phones do not see the printer 4) Noisy when the table cracks when it prints 5) Slow, thinks for a very long time until he starts typing
Pros
- Laconic design, factory CISS, wireless printing mode, the quality of the print itself is also on the level. Quite compact, a little more in depth than the previous one (Epson XP320) due to CISS. Consider the dimensions when choosing this printer, it may not fit on the shelf (or it will hang a little like mine . )
Cons
- Not very informative and small display (a la calculator)
Pros
- Support for a wireless wi-fi network, if you have at least some kind of local network (router with wi-fi + PC or laptop), then you can send documents or photos to the printer even from a smartphone or PC or laptop without using a printer cable. Rich equipment, a lot of paint in the kit, enough for a long time. Fast copier, both color and bw. Understandable software, there were no problems setting up the MFP at all.
Cons
- It happens that the color profiles get lost in the system, and the quality of the photo starts to limp, then there are too many yellow shades, or vice versa. All this is solved by switching the default color profile, or if the system has been in operation for a long time, cleaning Windows will help. Although the disadvantage is solvable, but the head had to be hovered not weakly.
Pros
- Easy to change colors. Relatively small compared to other MFPs on the market.
Cons
- 1) Print speed. He prints 2 pages of text per minute, I checked fifteen times. Then we launched it in the store service - I gave out about 5 pages per minute, in my opinion. It prints color photos even more slowly (about 1 ppm). I have a printer, also HP, ten years old and 10 thousand cheaper at that time, and it works faster. 2) Soft. You need to install a bunch of programs with the repetition of functionality for no reason. That is, in all seriousness, I have two scanning programs installed on my PC. And one of them didn't work. Apparently imposed to the maximum, to be sure. 3) Allegedly, the convenience of connecting from different devices. This printer constantly flies on the computer, then on the phone. I used the general wi-fi network, and his own, USB, too, he constantly flies something and at the right time you have to fiddle with installing it. 4) The speed of work in general. In addition to the slow printing speed, this printer itself is very slow. Turn it on - a minute of waiting. You start the document for printing - another minute of waiting. I say without exaggeration, he clicks something there, clicks, for him to prepare for printing is a whole task.
Pros
- Used for a couple of days so far so good. It prints quietly, strangely.
Pros
- CISS, Wi-Fi, print quality
Cons
- No instructions in 2022
Pros
- Compact. Continuous ink supply system. Scans well and conveniently. You can make a multi-page PDF.
Cons
- Terrible print quality. Frankly streaks. Cannot scan its own alignment page (it says itself, probably due to print quality issues). Can cut under- or superscripts of letters in text.
Pros
- 1. Wireless printing function. 2. Convenient ink refilling systems. 3. Print speed. 4. Smooth paper intake (the wheel is in the center, not on the side)
Cons
- 1. After printing, "smear" black, all other colors are in perfect order. But black remains on the hands, sometimes right up to the white paper. This drawback completely destroys all the advantages, since printing of high-quality photos and text immediately disappears. 2. Proprietary software on Win10 does not scan over the network. 3. Sometimes, when turned on, it loses the network (reboot helps) 4. When printing a large amount of materials (manuals and similar textual information), it may give a "print head" error. It is solved by extracting it and installing it back. Wasting time. 5. It is inconvenient to report paper during printing, it immediately falls into the inside and is pulled into the printer (which spoils all subsequent printing)
Pros
- Connecting is simple. Works on Wi-Fi from phone and PC. How a network printer works via vpn without additional router settings. For win 10, the application installed itself, as soon as the printer was configured from the phone Ooooh . How he found out, it's not clear)))
Cons
- Thin plastic. The power supply is loosely fixed, more precisely, the socket for the power cable. A little backlash. On a sliding shelf for printouts, there is no limiter and walls along the edges. If there are more than 30 sheets, then they fold unevenly. Sometimes it prints a color image with stripes in the entire sheet, on the second pass it is already without stripes. It doesn't turn itself off after 2 hours, as indicated in the manual. In the webmrd, this item is enabled, but grayed out.
