The HP Smart Tank 585 (1F3Y4A) in Dark Surf Blue arrived on my desk promising a hassle-free printing experience. This all-in-one printer boasts smart features, high-yield ink tanks, and wireless connectivity – but does it live up to the hype? After several weeks of rigorous testing, including printing hundreds of pages of documents, photos, and graphics, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

The HP Smart Tank 585 immediately impressed with its intuitive design. The illuminated smart buttons are a welcome addition, making navigation incredibly simple. Setting up the wireless connection was a breeze, thanks to the self-healing Wi-Fi. The integrated ink sensors provide constant monitoring of ink levels, eliminating the surprise of running out mid-print job. The ability to print, scan, and copy from a single device is incredibly convenient for home and small office use.

Print speed is respectable, although not blazing fast. For everyday documents, the speed is more than adequate. Print quality is surprisingly good, with crisp text and vibrant colors. Photos printed on photo paper looked remarkably sharp and detailed. Scanning and copying functions worked flawlessly, with accurate color reproduction and clear images. I also appreciated the robust paper handling, with minimal jams even when printing large volumes.

The high-yield ink tanks are a major selling point. HP claims up to 18,000 black or 6,000 color pages, a significant advantage over traditional cartridge-based printers, dramatically reducing the cost per page. During my testing, I consistently achieved impressive page yields, well within HP’s estimates.

Pros:

• High-yield ink tanks for low cost per page
• Easy setup and intuitive interface
• Good print quality for both text and images
• Reliable wireless connectivity
• Integrated ink level sensors

Cons:

• Print speed could be faster
• The printer is relatively large and bulky

Overall, the HP Smart Tank 585 (1F3Y4A) is a fantastic all-in-one printer. The combination of high-yield ink tanks, ease of use, and excellent print quality makes it a compelling option for home users and small offices. While the print speed isn’t the fastest, the substantial cost savings and overall convenience outweigh this minor drawback. I highly recommend this printer to anyone looking for a reliable and cost-effective solution for their printing needs.
