HP 7515 Printer Review

Consumers are using an increasing number of devices in their everyday lives, from PCs and laptops to smartphones and tablets. Buyers who want a multifunction inkjet that can work well with all of these devices will appreciate the HP Photosmart 7515 e-All-in-One. It includes ePrint technology that includes support apps and other methods for printing from almost any device, and even from a remote location.

The device can print at ISO-rated speeds of 13.5 pages per minute in black and 9 pages per minute in color. It unit is very compact, though it is a bit larger than previous series, measuring 8.6x17.9x17.7 inches. Part of the reason for its extra size is the inclusion of an automatic document feeder for scanning and copying many pages at once, up to 20 sheets at a time. The other factor is the large touchscreen, which measures 4.33 inches diagonally, and is the largest in the series.

The touchscreen is one essential component to the ePrint platform, as it controls the functions of the machine directly. Using the intuitive interface, however, users can also access the app store to download a number of free apps that can add a variety of functionality, from printing Facebook photos to browsing and printing coupons. It also handles more mundane tasks such as aligning print heads and monitoring the status of HP 7515 printer ink.

For an inkjet, the cost of Photosmart 7515 ink compares well with other models. The system utilizes 5 HP 7515 ink cartridges instead of the standard 4, with an extra "photo black" printer ink adding deeper blacks to photos. The high-capacity Photosmart 7515 ink cartridges offer about twice the page yield, making for a lower cost per page.

With the ePrint platform providing easy communication with numerous devices, and the app store providing flexibility for future functionality, the HP 7515 is a well-rounded and somewhat future-proof machine. You
