HP Smart Tank printers use a refillable ink tank system rather than replaceable cartridges, delivering up to 18,000 black pages or 8,000 color pages per ink set - volumes that traditional cartridge printers cannot approach without substantial ink spending. HP rates the cost per page on Smart Tank as among the lowest in the HP printer lineup, making it the practical choice for households and small offices that print more than 200 pages per month.
HP designed the ink tanks to be user-refillable with spill-free HP ink bottles - the nozzle seats directly into the tank opening without removing anything else. The printer tracks remaining ink levels through the HP Smart app, sending alerts before you run dry. Unlike cartridge printers where you replace the ink delivery mechanism each refill, Smart Tank separates the printhead from the ink supply, extending printhead life across thousands of refills.
Best for: Households printing weekly school projects, small offices with steady document output, and anyone tired of cartridge costs consuming more over 2 years than the printer itself cost to buy.
Consider alternatives if: You print only occasionally - for low-volume printing, HP DeskJet offers a lower upfront cost. Return to all HP printers to compare the full range.
Both are home inkjet printers, but their ink economics work differently. The right choice depends on how much you print per month.
| Feature | HP Smart Tank | HP DeskJet |
|---|---|---|
| Ink System | Refillable tank (user-fills from bottle) | Replaceable ink cartridge |
| Black page yield | Up to 18,000 pages per ink set | Up to ~480 pages per cartridge (XL) |
| Color page yield | Up to 8,000 pages per ink set | Up to ~300 pages per cartridge (XL) |
| Best for | 200+ pages/month, ongoing household/office use | Occasional printing, lower monthly page counts |
| Upfront cost | Higher than DeskJet | Lower entry point |
| Long-term ink cost | Significantly lower per page | Higher per page over time |
| HP Smart app | Tank level monitoring included | Cartridge level monitoring included |
HP rates Smart Tank ink bottles at a fraction of the per-page cost of standard cartridges - a household printing 300 pages per month will typically recoup the higher upfront cost within the first year compared to cartridge replacement costs over the same period.
Smart Tank's economics favor regular printing. If you print 50 pages or fewer per month, a DeskJet's lower upfront cost may take years to overcome in ink savings. At 200-plus pages per month - common for households with school-age children or small offices handling document workflows - Smart Tank's per-page cost advantage compounds quickly. HP rates Smart Tank ink bottles to deliver thousands of pages each, meaning a full set of ink can last an average household over a year.
HP Smart Tank delivers sharp document output and solid color printing for everyday tasks - presentations, school assignments, and household documents. For photo printing, the 4-color ink system produces good results on HP-recommended photo paper. If photo quality is your primary use case and you print large format or professional photos regularly, dedicated photo printers offer a wider color gamut. Smart Tank is optimized for document-heavy workflows with photo printing as a secondary capability.
Smart Tank printers connect via Wi-Fi and USB. The HP Smart app on iOS and Android handles wireless printing, scan-to-email, mobile scan, and ink level monitoring. HP+ subscription (optional) adds access to HP Instant Ink and extended warranty on eligible configurations - useful if you want HP to track your ink remotely and ship refills automatically.
Smart Tank Plus configurations add a flatbed scanner and copy function alongside printing, making them multifunction printers (MFPs) suitable for home offices. Standard Smart Tank models focus on printing only. If scanning documents for digital storage or copying forms is part of your workflow, check that the specific model includes a scanner before purchasing.
HP rates Smart Tank ink bottles at up to 18,000 black pages and 8,000 color pages per full ink set, based on ISO/IEC 24712 standard testing. At an average household print volume of 200 pages per month, a full ink set covers over 7 years of black printing. Actual yield varies with page coverage - documents with dense graphics use ink faster than standard text pages.
HP Smart Tank is worth it for households or offices printing 200 or more pages per month. According to HP's cost-per-page data, Smart Tank ink delivers a significantly lower per-page cost than standard HP cartridges - regular printers recoup the higher upfront cost within months at moderate print volumes. For occasional users printing fewer than 50 pages per month, DeskJet's lower upfront cost may be more practical.
Yes - HP Smart Tank prints photos using its 4-color ink system. HP rates photo output as suitable for everyday photos on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper. For professional-grade photo printing with wide color gamut, a dedicated photo printer with 6-color ink produces more accurate color depth. Smart Tank is optimized for documents with photo printing as a secondary function, not a specialty photo printer.
HP Smart Tank uses spill-free HP ink bottles with a nozzle that seats directly into the tank port. Open the tank door, insert the bottle nozzle into the matching color port, and the ink flows in automatically - no squeezing required. HP designed the system so each color bottle only fits its matching color tank, preventing misfills. The HP Smart app shows real-time tank levels to indicate when a refill is needed.
HP Smart Tank Plus models with HP+ support are eligible for HP Instant Ink enrollment, where HP monitors your tank levels remotely and ships refill bottles before you run out. Standard Smart Tank models without HP+ require manual reorders. HP rates HP+ as adding an extended warranty and Smart Security features alongside the automatic replenishment option on eligible printers.
