Product notes
HP Smart Tank 6001
The Hewlett Packard Smart Tank 6001 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One Printer (2H0B9A is the lower-priced model in this pairing. It's an ink tank all-in-one that ships with up to two years of Original HP ink, so the initial setup covers a long stretch of printing. Spec highlights include 12 ppm black printing, 1200 dpi scanning, 24-bit color depth, duplex support, and connectivity spanning wireless, Bluetooth, HP Jetdirect, and USB 2.0. That makes it a comfortable fit for printing school work, scanning documents, and making copies without reaching for a higher price. The trade-off: the feature set is built around print/copy/scan, so if faxing or automatic document feeding is essential, you'll want the 7603.
HP Smart Tank 7603
The HP Smart Tank 7603 All-in-One Inkjet Printer, Color Mobile Print, Copy, Scan is the fuller-featured pick at the higher listed price. It combines print, copy, scan, fax, and an automatic document feeder with wireless connectivity, which makes it a stronger fit for a busy home office. If you regularly fax contracts, scan multi-page sets, or copy stacks of receipts, the ADF is a practical time-saver because it lets you load a document and let the machine work through it. It also supports color mobile printing as part of its capabilities. The limitation is fit: if you rarely fax or need ADF, the higher listed price buys functions you won't use. For those who do need those tools, this is the model to choose.
Final choice by use case
- If a lower listed price and a straightforward print/copy/scan inkjet are the priority, pick the HP Smart Tank 6001.
- If faxing and automatic document feeding are must-haves, pick the HP Smart Tank 7603.
