Highly impressed with HP. This is a polished product. The instructions are excellent and mostly intuitive. The tiny screen on the printer isn't very useful but does show relevant info. But their mobile app makes it redundant as you can do everything in the app. I like the controls which light up nice and bright. I don't like loading blank paper from the rear. But is a very small annoyance. Even aesthetically this is a fine product. The curves are precise and the white and black paint are textured to not show finger prints. It is compact and has a modern look without being ugly. It is a clean design. The tank system is simply wonderful. The refills are super simple to perform. There's no way to make a mess. The bottles click into place and fill the reservoirs automatically. No squeezing. The printer came with a large black bottle and three color bottles. The color bottles fill the reservoirs once. The black bottle fills the reservoir twice. I'm not sure how long they last as I just bought it. The print quality is great. I printed a photo on just plain typing paper and is is quite good. It's nice enough to hang on the fridge. To frame a photo I would need to use some good photo paper. It printed the photo in full 8.5x11 remotely from my phone really fast. I went with the default settings in the HP app. I'm sure it would take longer to print in a higher quality mode. But the app was really easy. It has a gallery browser that lets you look by date or album (folder). I attached photos showing how I have it set up and of a printed photo on plain typing paper. In summary, if you want to take the leap into buying a printer that doesn't use cartridges, this is a GREAT place to start you search. Best Buy had a ton of different tank printers of a huge price range. I got the HP because it is compatible with Linux and their mobile apps are FAR better than the competition.
