HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One color inkjet multifunction is hands down the best of its kind. Its conventional and elegant feature makes it a winner. Like other multifunctional printers, it does not have a hefty appearance. Its trim and graceful body gives it a well-groomed look which its predecessors lacked.
The Photosmart 5520 e boasts an automatic duplexer which eases two sided printing. The inbuilt 80-sheet input tray placed at the bottom of the unit is perfect in producing low-volume vibrant prints and for scanning less voluminous documents. The scanner lid is tightly consolidated with hinges which do not leave any room for thick items. In order to use multiple formats, mixing of A4 and photo media is required as no additional photo tray is attached. One of the salient features is its capability of printing and scanning from memory cards apart from printing via e-mails.
Its contextually designed navigation buttons are an adornment of the 2.65-inch color LCD touch screen. The buttons light up when being used and become dark when not in use. The attractive screen with vivid display responds promptly and increases your joy of navigating it. It offers easy access to HP’s apps library.
The provision of a wide array of mobile printing options is due to its unbeatable Wi-Fi connectivity. The Wi-Fi and ePrint buttons can easily be located on the screen. The ePrint provides excellent communication with mobile devices.
As far as the ink system is concerned, it is a wise decision to use the high yield XL Inkjet Cartridges. This HP photosmart manages to deliver crisp outputs using the four-cartridge ink system.
It is appropriately designed for light use. The prints are eloquent with picturesque graphics. It delivers colored photos in around 80 seconds and produces colored prints at speed of 6.8ppm, whereas monochrome printing speed is around 12.5ppm. A4-sized scans and copies are produced within a fraction of 23 seconds. This photo smart printer is brilliantly engineered to support HP ePrint, HP ePrint Home & Biz print app, HP Web apps, and Apple Air Print.
Its sophisticated features are worth considering for home use or for light-duty office use and have the advantage of low running costs. This simple yet unique multifunctional printer is definitely an eye turner.
