HP - Smart Tank 7603 Wireless All-in-One AI-Enabled Cartridge-Free Supertank Inkjet Printer w/ Fax and 3 Yrs of Ink Included¹ - White

HP has always been my favorite and this 7603 printer does not disappoint. Decent print speed and it has all of the features like copy, scan, print and fax. Plus it has the smart ink tank which saves on ink costs. This was easy to set up and get running. HP software is also very good.

This printer is a superb choice if quality and cost per page is important to you. The HP 7603 Smart Tank Wireless All-in-One Printer is a very reliable, feature-rich but inexpensive, easy to use device which will economically and quietly print large quantities of documents at an excellent quality level. HP Inc. is the personal computer and printer unit spun off from the original Hewlett-Packard company. (The remaining units became Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and are focused on the corporate market.) Hewlett-Packard was founded in 1939, operating out of a garage in Palo Alto and was the original Silicon Valley tech company. It designed and built precision instruments, then created its first minicomputers in 1966. These were followed by programmable calculators, including the famous HP-80 handheld calculator. In 1984 HP introduced its first desktop inkjet and laser printers. HP developed its own personal computers then merged with Compaq in 2002. Today HP is the second-largest personal computer manufacturer (after Lenovo.) The HP Imaging and Printing Group is the leading provider in the world for personal printers, scanners and supplies. Here are the key features of this great multifunction printer: • HP 7603 Smart Tank All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer/Copier/Scanner/FAX (Model ST 7603/9B5D1A#B1H) • 3 inch LCD touch control screen • Connectivity: Self-healing Wireless (802.11b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth, USB, Ethernet 10/100 • Ink capacity/page yield: Black 90 ml = approx. 6,000 pages, Cyan/Yellow/Magenta 70 ml each = approx. 8,000 pages • Print resolution: up to 4800 x 1200 dpi (color), 1200 x 1200 dpi (b&w) • ISO print speed: 15 ppm (Black), 9 ppm (Color) • Automatic document feeder capacity: 35 sheets • Automatic duplex (two-sided) printing • HP AI scanning/printing system • Multi-page printing on a single sheet – up to 16 pages/images per side • ISO duplex print speed: 6.5 ppm (Black), 4.5 ppm (Color) • Paper capacity: 250 sheets in lower tray, up to 30 envelopes • Output tray capacity: 100 sheets • Paper sizes: Adjustable down to 3.5” width, Letter, A4, Legal, #10 envelopes • Duty cycle: Up to 6,000 pages/month • Scan function: up to 1200 x 1200 resolution, 8.5” x 11.7” flatbed (A4 paper size) • Copy function: up to 99 copies, 600 x 600 resolution, reduce/enlarge (25% to 400%), borderless, duplex • USB port on front • Full function HP Smart app for PC, Mac and smart phones • Dimensions: 16.8 inch Wide x 14.3 inch Deep x 9.5 inch Tall • Weight: 17.0 pounds • One year parts and labor warranty • Extended 2 year and 3 year next business day exchange service available First impression: elegantly sculpted in a beautiful combination of arctic white, grey and slate with alternating colors and right angles that make the HP 7603 seem smaller than it is. It has a compact footprint (just 16.8” x 14.3”) and stands just 9.5” tall. HP cleverly designed the sheet feeder to fold flat when not in use, minimizing both the height and the width of the printer. The power cord has no bulky transformer on it so it adds to the clean look. Overall you will be pleased to share your home or your office with this attractive unit, especially since it is very quiet. Wirelessly connected, it can be located in any convenient space – it does not need to be next to the PC it is serving - ideal for homes and small offices since you can also use this great device as a supplemental copier. Setting up this printer is quite easy. HP protects the printer during shipping with tape around key parts, but all of the tape is bright blue and very easy to remove. The quick setup instructions are well-written and you could just read them. But an even easier method is to download the HP Smart app to your phone. Attach the power cord to the printer, turn it on and add some paper to the tray. Then just obey the illustrated step-by-step instructions in the app. Filling the printer ink tanks is color-coded and seems foolproof. Once ink is loaded, snap the print heads into position and an automatic alignment process will be conducted. The HP Smart app will connect the printer to your wireless network. This was the easiest step in the setup process. The printer will automatically join the WiFi network to which your smart phone is connected. At that point the printer will be accessible to any computer or phone on that network. There are also two alternates to wireless connections: attaching an Ethernet cable to your router or using a USB cable to your PC. If at any point in the setup you need assistance, HP has prepared excellent videos to explain the process. If you have a Windows PC just go to Settings, then Devices and select Add Printer. The HP 7603 printer will be discovered and the driver automatically downloaded. Any computer on your network should be able to access all of the printer features with the HP Smart app - a superbly designed software suite, containing easy-to-follow printing, scanning, copying, faxing and photo printing controls. The HP 7603 has a large (250 sheet) paper capacity in the lower paper drawer. It loads easily and is adjustable for multiple paper sizes. To print envelopes you must remove the paper and adjust the paper guides to the width of the envelope. If you want to use legal-size paper, the end of the paper tray extends to accommodate the longer paper stock. Print quality is really excellent, even in the economy (standard) mode. In the higher quality (business document) mode the print quality matches most laser printers I have used. The printer driver provides nice printing options like 2 on 1, 4 on 1 and up to 16 on 1 (number of page images on a single sheet of paper), borderless, scaled, fit-to-page, booklet and others. The most useful option is the automatic duplexing (two-sided printing) which it manages without drama. HP has introduced “AI Printing” with this generation of printers. This is useful for condensing the printout of articles from web pages (eliminating ads and large white spaces on the page). This works pretty well but I noticed that the resolution of images was reduced. Photo printing quality is quite good and will satisfy most purposes. This printer’s color capability will be best used in printing business documents (graphs, multi-colored text, PowerPoint slide copies, etc.) and it does a nice job on such tasks. The printing speed is not equal to that of a laser printer but certainly acceptable at about 15 pages/minute (black) and about 9 pages/minute for color documents (speeds confirmed by my own testing.) For home use/small offices this is more than adequate. (If you want really outstanding photo printing quality you should invest in a dedicated photo printer with more than three ink colors.) Scanning, at resolutions up to 1200 x 2400 dpi, can be managed from the HP Smart app which will scan to a PDF, stich large documents together and facilitate OCR, among other features. Unlike most printers today, the HP 7603 includes a FAX function. This used to be a standard feature twenty-five years ago for “all-in-one” printers but with the dominance of email today it has become rare. However, there are still times when a FAX is useful (e.g., some government offices require a FAX for some functions.) I had no problem attaching the printer to my VOIP phone system and then sending out a test FAX. I didn’t test reception. The controls on the printer are all found in a bright, touch-sensitive LCD screen which brings up a menu of selections. This is a nice improvement over the old, physical buttons and hard-to-read greyscale LCD screen on the previous generation of HP printers. However, I think most users would be better served by using the HP Smart app on their computer rather than the on-printer controls. I tested each feature of the HP 7603 and all worked flawlessly. The unit seems very solid and I expect that it will work for years without complaint, given its HP heritage. The most important feature of the HP 7603 is its massive ink tanks. It holds 90 ml of black ink and a total of 210 ml of color ink (70 ml each of cyan, yellow and magenta). Those ink tanks will print about 6,000 sheets of black ink documents and about 8,000 sheets of color documents. If you print ten pages a day that initial ink supply will last you nearly four years! The best part is the incredibly low cost of the ink. The refills for the ink tanks are far less expensive than replacement cartridges. The cost comparison to standard ink cartridges is amazing. A typical replacement inkjet cartridge for other printers costs $30 to $40 and will print 220-350 pages at an ink cost per page of about $0.09. The ink cost per page of the HP Smart Tank system is about $0.004 – less than 5% of the cost of a standard inkjet printer! And the ink levels are backlit so you can see it at a glance! With a traditional inkjet printer you probably minimize your printing to avoid costly ink cartridge replacements. This HP 7603 will free you to print much more readily since you have a cost per page lower than almost any other printing device on the market. Those savings are due to the fact that you are not replacing the print head, as you must with each new ink cartridge, and the elimination of the plastic cartridge body cost. The ecological benefit of eliminating this waste is a nice bonus. And having a large supply of ink will eliminate that dreaded emergency trip to the all-night office supply store to replace an empty cartridge when you need to print a document for an early morning meeting! One caution: Be sure to print at least one page in black ink and one color copy each month to keep the ink lines from potentially drying out from lack of use. In summary, the HP Smart Tank 7603 All-in-One Inkjet Printer/Copier/Scanner/FAX is flawless. I give this great device a full five stars and my unqualified endorsement. You won’t regret this purchase!

I have owned and used HP printers for more than a decade, and I always upgrade to their latest models because, without a doubt, HP has been a pioneer and an innovative leader in the printing field. When choosing a printer for my everyday needs, I prefer one with long-lasting ink that does not require me to constantly replace expensive cartridges, and this is where the magic of HP Smart Tank comes in place. The HP Smart Tank 7603 is equipped with refillable Smart Tank system that uses large ink reservoirs that are filled with bottles of ink, allowing the printer to produce thousands of pages before needing a refill. It is both cost-effective and convenient for those who prefer printing frequently. Right out of the box, the printer feels premium and has a stylish, modern design. Even though it is an all-in-one printer, it is compact and doesn't take up much desk space. Setting it up was quick and straightforward using the HP Smart app. I simply scanned the QR code that showed up on the touch screen, and followed the on-screen steps, and within a few minutes the printer was connected to my home Wi-Fi and appeared in the HP Smart app, ready to use. The 3-inch color touchscreen has an elegant design, instead of having a tiltable display, it's seamlessly embedded into the body of the printer, giving it a clean, sophisticated, and premium appearance. The screen is interactive, bright, responsive, and easy to navigate, making it simple to access settings, executing orders such as copy, scan, or checking printer information right from the printer. It is a well-thought-out design and makes the printer convenient to use. I also like the thoughtful design touches HP included. The Status Light Bar on the front of the printer changes color depending on what the printer is doing, whether it's being set up, printing, or needs your attention. It provides a simple visual cue of the printer's current status. Another feature that is useful is the lit ink tanks. The built-in lights make it much easier to install the ink bottles and visually and easily check the ink levels, even in a low light room. HP definitely paid a lot attention to details to make their products useful and convenient. HP includes the ink in the box, so the printer is ready to use immediately. The print quality is excellent, producing sharp text with vibrant colors and clear detail. Scanned documents also came out bright, clean, and clear. In addition, the HP Smart Tank 7603 includes several productivity features that make printing easier. Automatic two-sided printing, scanning, and faxing. Although it does not offer automatic duplex scanning, the automatic sheet feeder makes scanning multi-page documents quick. The Smart HP app on smartphones has full usability of the printer. The app is also available on PC and Mac. Connectivity options are available on Wi-Fi and ethernet. Finally, this HP Smart Tank 7603 is an excellent all-in-one printer for everyday usability and meets all work demands, whether for students, telework, or small businesses. It prints high quality for low printing costs, has reliable wireless connectivity, and other features that basically make my daily work needs done. The combination of a large bottle of long-lasting ink, automatic duplex printing and auto document scanning, a large paper tray, and versatile connectivity simply make it ideal for any household.

PRODUCT HP Smart Tank 603 Great Quality for everyday use. Photo Copies are Fantastic QUICK REVIEW If you like tank printers (and I do), then the HP 7603 is worth a close look. Print quality is very good, and color printing is pretty close to photo quality. Add to that an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) and Duplex Printing, it is a very capable printer / scanner / copier / fax. REVIEW The HP Smart Tank 6300 comes with enough ink to last most people for years. For home / workgroups, the print quality is very good, including color and photo printing. SETUP I usually set up printers manually from the control panel, but in this case, I tried the HP step by step instructions at 123.hp.com, and they worked very well. I ran it from the PC with the printer next to my screen. Unboxing was easy with the included handle bag, and then removing tape and so on. Make sure to check all the cardboard contained in the box, one box had the print heads, and the other has the ink bottles. At first I thought there was no display screen, then as I continued on the set up, a cleaver screen was illuminated. It is build into the face of the printer, just ahead of the scanner. When the printer is not in use, there is no illumination. The other cool thing is that throughout the setup the printer illuminated various lights to show you where to install ink or paper or whatever. This is really a first, for all the printers I’ve used over the years. Anyway, the set up is pretty easy, just follow the prompts to fill the ink tanks, install the print heads, run a test page, then you are all set. PRINTING On the highest quality setting, the printing is relatively fast. Not lightning fast, but not a slow crawl either. The print quality is very good, for both text and color printing. You can still tell it is an ink jet, but that is OK for the intended use. Printing a photo color test (see pics), the colors were vibrant and clear. Almost as good as some of the photo printers I have tested. COPY / SCAN This is the best quality copy / scan I’ve tested in years. The copy is about 95% as good and the original print. This was tested from the flatbed scanner in photo mode. Using the ADF copy quality was about 80%, which is normal with ADF since it is a faster scan. PROs - Compact All in One Printer - Huge Tank INK Storage - Great Print Quality for an InkJet - Easy to use and setup - No Subscriptions needed - Double Sided Printing (duplex) RECOMMENDATION I really think HP nailed on this printer with a good balance of new features, easy setup and high quality. I do recommend this printer.

After getting the HP Smart tank 7603 and fully setting it up which all in all took maybe an hour tops going back and forth to the very small printed set up paperwork and for my age it was way to small compared to the HP printer I had before this one which was a back load type that would catch all kinds of dust. I am by far more impressed with the 7603 not just because of the way you load the paper into it (tray load) which for me is far more easier than the back loading type. It's very easy to set up if you already have the app on your pc and on your cell phone. I truly think that the hardest parts of the setup were the fact of the very small print on the instructions and putting the print heads in place properly so the lid on them would close to only other Item that really bugged me is this in the print on the paper work for setup it states for the black ink tank it will only tank half the bottle, I can say it doesn't as it too the whole bottle. other than those three thing two of which I honestly think HP might wish to change (print size on the instructions along with the mistake of informing us as a product user on the black ink). In my opinion this is well worth the investment of getting if your looking for a great All in one printer that you can print from anywhere with a flat top scanner that you can feed the paper your copying if you need front and back done or just making a copy of a picture or any kind of document that you only need one side of and the way the software works with it you can actually lave it on as it well go into a sleep mode until you touch the screen. It also has a light about the area where the print comes out that indicates that your connected to your WiFi and if your printer is off line. I almost forgot to mention that the 7603 is 100% quieter than my original hp printer. I would give it a 10/10 but there are only 5/5 stars lol it's a get it 100%
