HP Smart Tank 5000 Wireless All-in-One Ink Tank Printer – Print, Copy, Scan, Refillable High-Capacity Tanks

The HP Smart Tank 5000 is a wireless all-in-one ink tank printer for families and home users who print regularly and want low running costs. It prints, copies, and scans, and uses refillable HP 31 and 32XL ink bottles in place of cartridges.

Deep-Dive Story & Problem/Solution

Cartridge Costs Make Home Printing More Expensive Than the Printer Itself

A typical cartridge inkjet is cheap to buy and costly to feed. Standard cartridges hold only a few millilitres of ink, so a household that prints school projects, forms, and photos replaces them constantly.

The Smart Tank 5000 stores ink in four built-in tanks fed from bottles: a 135 ml HP 32XL black bottle and 50 ml HP 31 cyan, magenta, and yellow bottles. Each bottle yields thousands of pages, which brings the cost per page down sharply.

Print speeds are up to 10 ppm in black and 5 ppm in color (ISO), suited to steady home use. Recommended volume is 200 to 800 pages a month.

Low-Cost, High-Volume Home Printing

Transparent tanks show ink levels at a glance. Resolution reaches 1200 x 1200 rendered dpi in black and up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi in color for documents and borderless photos.

Simple Controls and Reliable Wireless

Smart-guided buttons light up only when relevant, and an icon LCD shows status. Self-healing Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, and Mopria make mobile printing straightforward.
