The 35-sheet automatic document feeder is a nice touch, especially the sound that plays to tell you the pages in the feeder have been detected, but it's perhaps not quite robust enough for heavy duty scanning.
The scanning feature is excellent for making copies, a little less convenient for scanning because the interface expects you to stand at the scanner and send the scan to a PC, where it's saved as a PDF or JPEG (in the Documents directory - you don't get the choice).
The low ink warning showed up about ten full colour pages before pages printed with less accurate colours. The black cartridges are a little more pricey than usual, and the cheapest way to get ink for the printer is to use HP's Instant Ink scheme where you pay £1.99 a month to automatically get new cartridges (and a prepaid envelope to send the old cartridge for recycling) when you need them, assuming you print 50 pages a month. Instead you have to swipe your finger across the screen to scroll through a horizontal list of numbers until you get the one you want, which seems unnecessarily complicated when the screen could just show you a numeric keypadīoth the three-colour and single black cartridge are on the small side the printer warned us that the supplied colour cartridges were running low after about 40 colour full-page images. The touch screen means there is space for clear error messages and the controls are reasonably intuitive, but if you want to choose how many copies to make or how much to enlarge a copy, you can't just type in the number you want.
We didn't find the printer noisy enough to need its quiet mode (which isn't a lot more quiet, but is a little slower). Text quality is perfectly acceptable, and the colours on images we printed and copied were rich and vibrant. Printing is single-sided rather than duplex, which makes it a little less convenient for the office print speeds of ten or eleven pages a minute for text and five pages a minute for mixed text and images are reasonable. The £60 price tag for a wifi printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine that has a document feeder, touch screen controls, and support for Apple AirPrint and Android printing looks like a real bargain.
