The HP Smart Tank 520 multifunction inkjet printer offers a highly cost-effective solution for homes and small offices that require reliable, everyday printing at an extremely low cost. Thanks to its innovative tank system, ink is refilled directly from bottles, eliminating the need for cartridges and the risk of spills. The device combines the functions of a color printer, flatbed scanner, and copier. It offers print speeds of up to 12 ppm in black-and-white and 5 ppm in color at high resolution, while fully supporting borderless printing up to A4 size. The input tray holds up to 100 sheets of standard paper. It connects to a computer via a reliable USB interface, and print jobs can be conveniently managed through the HP Smart app or macOS system tools. The package includes a complete set of HP starter ink cartridges, including a high-capacity black cartridge, allowing for immediate use right out of the box.
