HP Smart Tank 7301

Ink tankBottles

The 7301 is where HP's tank line becomes an office machine: a 250-sheet cassette, a 35-sheet feeder, automatic duplex, Ethernet and 15 ISO pages a minute in black. HP quotes up to 6,000 black and 8,000 colour pages of ink in the box, which for most households is several years of printing before the first bottle is bought. The control panel is a two-line LCD with lit guide buttons rather than a touchscreen, so anything beyond a copy goes through the phone app. The interface is the HP tax: the Smart app pushes accounts, offers, and an ink subscription with more energy than any competitor, and the printer wants to be online. The supplies themselves are not locked, which is the important part.

In its favour

Cassette, document feeder, automatic duplex and Ethernet in one tank printer
Colour bottles rated 8,000 ISO pages keep colour-heavy printing cheap
Enough ink in the box that the first refill may be years away
No supplies lock despite being an HP
Ethernet and a 250-sheet cassette put it closer to office equipment than to a household all-in-one

Against it

The Smart app is pushy about accounts, cloud sign-in and subscriptions
No fax — that is the 7602
Single-sided document feeder
A two-line LCD rather than a touchscreen, so most settings live in the app
