HP recently announced the launch of its new Smart Tank 5000 series, the latest addition to its range of Smart Tank all-in-one products. Unlike other models in the range, the Smart Tank 5000 is designed to meet the needs of individuals or families in search of a smarter, more sustainable printing experience. The 5000 series is available in North America from HP or major retailers.

 

In addition to the Smart Tank 7000/7300/7600 and LaserJet Tank, the Smart Tank 5100 helps to complete the range in providing an entry-level option for individuals and home use. Despite being entry-level, the 5100 packs in key HP features such as connectivity to the Smart App; smart-guided buttons to help pre-empt everyday print, scan, and copy workflows; self-healing Wi-Fi to aid reliable connectivity and security; as well as low-on-ink sensors to protect the printheads.

 

 

Because this new series is being billed as the company’s “most sustainable printer yet,” HP is keen to emphasise how sustainability has influenced the design of the new 5100. Xavier Garcia, HP’s Global Head of Print Hardware Systems, commented that, “HP wants to be the most sustainable technology company on the planet, and today’s announcement is part of the inroad into this journey.” The use of 45% post-consumer recycled content in the hardware build and no-waste tank technology are to be commended, and the consistency of established technology such as Auto On/Off as well as Energy Star and EPEAT Silver compliance certification are also reassuring signs that HP’s commitment to this goal is firm.

 

Keypoint Intelligence Opinion

It comes as no surprise that this type of device from HP has now entered the market. With the launch of the 5000 series, the Smart Tank range covers many consumer needs from the individual to SMBs. With its link to HP’s Instant Ink program and commendable credentials, the 5000 series is a smart, sustainability-focused option for individuals and families looking for an eco-friendlier printing alternative or in need of a more automated way of printing. We look forward to assessing this series in the lab!
