Topic commissioning
The shipping was quick, the construction and registration are reasonably experienced PC hands quickly erledigt.Nach connect the supplied USB cable, the printer is installed and then joined HP. Considering that the supplied starter cartridges have only a small level and are ruckzuck empty, it is therefore advisable to order immediately refill cartridges.
Topic printing costs in operation
A field is what often overlooked time. Man can say that are a black and white side by 2 cents and the colored side for 5-6 penny a good average in the cost of printing area. Unfortunately, the 3520eaio not quite make it. It costs you about 3.6 cents for a black and white page and about 7.2 cents for a color page (averages). Ie above the Durchschnitt.Das while others manufacturers have handled better. The printer also uses 13.6 watts which he is also a hint of a solid good average of 12 watts.
Topic recession Date
I write recessions in consumer electronics basically only 6 months the warranty period, call me paranoid but we all know the phenomenon that PCs, printers, etc shortly after the warranty period have high Mack inclination or even completely refuse to work.
Topic Experience Data:
+ Rapid delivery
+ Price 70 Euro
+ Easy operation and installation
+ Cartridge easy to change
+ Automatic duplexing (front and back)
+ Black and white printing unexpectedly fast, 10 pages per minute it creates in the normal pressure, 1:46 minutes 10 pages in duplex mode
-Lauter Pressure
-Papierfach + Catchment is very prone to jam, so you will definitely face
-Papierfach Very small
-no catch tray for the printed paper that lands on the ground
-The Orginalen cartridges are ridiculously expensive, also not correct the specified print page numbers correspond to reality
-Plastik Wherever you look, be handled carefully with the 3520 has. Also inside -everything plastic when you have to unlock the cartridge carriage times, Real advised caution
-No More resilient printer from 100 pages per month you should you look for an alternative.
Topic Scanner
Very very slow, only to be used as a scanner for the family halfway professional work at home much too slow. There is no pre-scan but it is made a complete scan of the page, which takes about 28 seconds. Until it is then digitized it is 31 seconds per sheet of course. Text-only pages in black and it scans a bit faster, in about 22 seconds per sheet about. If you wish to scan individual things going but still from 5 pages is the one puzzle. What precludes the really good scan- results.
Topic Printers
The printing results are very good and some of the best sounds in this Preisklasse.Der pressure, but the cost of the cartridge and the catastrophic paper fold with jam warranty tarnish the image and you are advised to buy this printer only when it more uses sporadically.
Topic cartridges
They are just expensive pork with HP, more there is to it. If your "no name" products instead of the original take, it can happen that the print head several times after this only works you still restricted. Say instead deep black there eg then only light gray or light blue. Unfortunately, this is not just a myth of the manufacturer but with each new cartridge of a "no name" manufacturer is a danger because unfortunately. This can go 50 times good or only 1 times and is unpredictable.
Topic Service
Trying competently but unfortunately also quite powerless. Outside the warranty period, you have to reckon with the standard answers with reference to the diagnostic programs to be etc. stalled. Accessible 8.00-18.00 clock
Topic durability
This is in this printer probably the most important issue, because you know for 70 euros you get just any Spitzenqualität.Die processing is accordingly -Plastik - plastic - plastic. The printer made the first 6 months of a very good figure, there were no quirks up on multiple paper jam (although it is annoying when you have to watch over his printer when printing) for 12 months but started the quirks.
Error messages of the ink cartridges is the scanning software is not installed (although no changes have been made), the printer ran without application down as otherwise damage to the system would incur etc etc ... The diagnostic program recognized no mistake. The support referred to only just called diagnostic program. The printer is now after 1 year and 5 months (as of 30.12.2014) is no longer black-printable and the scanner does not work anymore. Everything printhead cleaning or the like remained without success.The warranty is expired course thus can I also unfortunately no longer with HP helfen.Ich Search now for a new printer. Two years I had been included in terms of durability.
Topic Tip
For buying a printer in the lower Preisniveau.Verlängert definitely the guarantee of 2 years then it is worth buying, because if you then problems in the hot phase of 12-18 months where these printers are like fused defect start to go and 10 Euro more then also no longer relevant.
Topic Summary
The printer experiences with the 3520 eAiO are solid without auszuarten.Die in rapturous applause reliability decreased about 1 year operation steadily rising which has manifested with scan errors, crashes or pressure misreporting. After 1.5 years now he is totally broken. A repair of the black printhead is not feasible because it is firmly installed by privately. A One Chicken, repair and new printer head would be almost twice as expensive as the cost of acquisition and therefore no Option.Der now flies away. So if your prints much rather buy an HP Officejet or the like, because you're a student or students on the safe side since the 3520 eAiO permanently high pressure load can not stand because of the processing. The processing, storage life and high operating costs, the rating to 2 points.
Family printer YES, entry-level printer YES, students / pupils printer NO, home-office printer NO
