HP Instant ink Setting Up & Quality

Setting Up

The biggest difference between the two, as regards the set up process, is the different ink systems. Other than that, the two took a roughly similar time to set up allowing for internet connection varability. With the Epson you have to physically pour in ink from the little plastic bottles provided into your ink tanks. This is a process that can leave you worried for your carpets and surfaces, so I’d recommend covering stuff up before starting and wearing gloves (they’ll need to be thin ones if you do) if you are worried about staining your hands. It’s also something that would worry me if we were looking to move the printer for some reason.

One problem we encountered with both printers was that when we were following the recommended or automated set up, it couldn’t connect to our wifi as we have a password and there was no prompt or opportunity to give it. We needed to go through the custom route to allow this. I was surprised that neither printer seemed to allow for a password to be added automatically as I would think most people have a password on their wifi.

Quality

I printed a recipe off on both printers to have a look at the difference in quality. On the left in the photo is the HP one and on the right is the Epson print. They both produce perfectly adequate (for my purposes) documents, but there’s a noticeably better sharpness about the HP version, which shows up well in the picture of that rather gorgeous cheesecake.
