HP Smart Tank 7602
A refillable ink tank all-in-one with one of the lowest costs per page available. Ideal for households with high print volume who want to avoid cartridge costs.
Editor's summary
The HP Smart Tank 7602 is a photo-focused printer designed for colour-critical output, artwork reproduction, and image-heavy workflows. A starting price of $469.99 places it in the mid-market — more capable than the sub-$100 tier but without premium-segment overhead.
Print speed is modest at 15 ppm — adequate for the home and light-office volumes this category is designed around. The 18,000-page monthly duty cycle comfortably covers typical home and home-office usage. Cost per page is very low at $0.003 — a strong long-term economic argument, particularly for anyone printing more than a few dozen pages a month.
Connectivity is wireless-first, with Wi-Fi making it straightforward to print from phones and laptops without drivers.
Overall, it suits buyers who prioritise image output quality and are comfortable with the slower pace and higher running cost that colour-critical inkjets demand.
