Hp Smart Tank 5101 - Unboxing, Setup & Review

[@davemadeja8466]

Just bought an HP 6001. Hope to set up this weekend. Also bought the cleaning kit.

[@BestPrinters]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@starvingartist1000]

I missed that one critical detail -"click the blue tab back in place". Thank you! You saved me some headache.

[@BestPrinters]

Great!

I have just purchased a HP5106, unfortunately it is delayed, hence I was searching for information. It appears that the 5106 is the 5101 just made for Europe and has a Blue lid, so everything here in your video is applicable. I wasted ages looking for 5106 on KZbin. I like that it has a large Black Ink supply because so much of it gets used in colour printing (not many people know that). I noticed that your print of the Mexican site differed in colour from the original photo shown side by side, such differences are to be expected. I am going to calibrate my printer if and when it finally arrives from 'Currys UK' ! :-)

[@alphalunamare]

I used to work with dye sub ID card printers and spent many frustrating hours salving peoples complaints about colour. I got it down to a fine art but there is no pleasing everyone. So ICC profiling is just a hobby now. I would bust my brain designing algorithms that would 'scientifically' necessitate the production of 'true' colour but a simple 'nahhh' from the marketting guys would toss it all into the bin due to their subjectivity. I gave up in the end and just let them take a vote amongst themselves. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I'll make a profile and utilise it with Windows, see how it looks sorta thing? I enjoyed your presentatation, hence my waffling :-)

[@BestPrinters]

Great, thanks for sharing

[@alphalunamare]

@@BestPrinters To explain: Imagine you want to print a colour in CMYK of (133, 50, 64, 0) then utilising the K better you can get the same result with (83, 0, 14, 50). 50 units of black ink saves 150 units of colour ink. I don't know if HP is actually using this reality on this printer but that is what it means.

[@alphalunamare]

Using K is like having better 'black' on an OLED TV.

I just bought it and had trouble with it. Wasn’t working with the wifi so i did direct connect with my phone and it only print one time and didn’t wan to work anymore. Spend 3 hrs with customer support and didn’t resolve the issue. Now returning it back to Best Buy

[@codyshannon]

I am having the same issue

[@mahnoornadeem9706]

Same

[@priscillagough6979]

Hi Brandon, thanks for the video. Please tell people to remove the orange strip (tape) and then take out the orange holder. You made it look so easy, but if I had not removed that tape first I could not have removed the orange holder. Thanks again for your video overall it was very helpful. Enjoy your day.

[@BestPrinters]

Yes maam

[@robertzydiak3380]

Thank you for the video. You did a great job of explaining the start up.

[@BestPrinters]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mahnoornadeem9706]

How to do it ? My dad has hard them setting up. And paper get jam

[@good-tymeentertainment6218]

how do i set up mirror image print like on the echo tank? i don't see it in print preferences?

[@BestPrinters]

Any setting will have to be changed form a pc.

[@d.lawrence5670]

Hi Brandon. Very informative and helpful. And much better than the dry, official HP setup video. I appreciate you taking the time to show up this setup. Got the printer today. Your video made my morning much easier. Have a good one.

[@BestPrinters]

My pleasure!

[@xenawarriorprincess5931]

Does the HP Smart Tank 5000 Printer have pretty much the same features as the 5101? If not what are the differences? I'm pretty much just looking to be able to scan doc's into my computer. Thanks

[@mirnatamez3438]

Hello! I just got this printer and set it up. Just today, I was printing some freebies that are set up to print two copies. It prints the first page fine, but it does not print the second page. It wants to, but it stops mid or at the start of the image. I'm very frustrated! It had printed the test page fine!

[@PR3M3]

Do you need wifi to operator printer at all because I don't have wifi at the moment.

[@BestPrinters]

No

[@PR3M3]

@@BestPrinters Ok thanks 👍

[@Uzair-m3w]

Does we need to change the ink head as well when the ink is running out?

[@BestPrinters]

Just the ink

[@arikubi]

Nice review but I was waiting all this time to see you printing a page and checking the quality damn

[@BestPrinters]

That is why I make a print quality video, it’s on my channel.

[@Ellis1127]

Awesome video and informative! Thanks!

[@teriquegomes1]

Hey, can you recommend a budget friendly printer for someone that does roughly 10-20 pages a week in black and white and probably 5 pages a week in colour. Hoping that I can get something with an eco tank rather than the cartridge system because of the cost of ink. Was looking at the canon g3260 but I’m open for your recommendations and affiliate links

[@BestPrinters]

You got it!

[@timothyharper961]

Can I connect it to my laptop without used the wifi

[@BestPrinters]

Yes with a usb that can connect to your laptop and printer

[@bumCamilo.]

Is this better than st500??

[@poyo_117]

Do you know the max GSM for this printer? I'm looking for a printer to print cardstock, and another question, if I flipped the page over can it print the back of an already print page? Thank you so much for this video

[@andreaely1899]

nobody answer that. Actually all the printers are almost the same on the printer settings, BUT no all of them support 300 grms for example.

[@taylorbates2287]

Can you change it to a simulation printer

[@BestPrinters]

Only when you first buy it, if you do it later it is possible buy you need to go through a conversion process.

[@taylorbates2287]

How can you do it? I put simulation ink in it first.

[@johntrevy1]

If you mean Sublimation. Then I think only Epson can actually do Sublimation due to the printer injection technology being piezo based as opposed to thermal which is what most printer ink injection systems are based on.

[@fernandapinto8985]

Hello can you hellp me on this question. Do tis printer tell us when the ink tanks need to refill??

[@Fayth39]

I can't get the placeholder for the printheads to come out of the side of the interior of the printers! It makes terrible sounds when I think it is trying to move. 😬 How do I deal with that?

[@margaritaswithmoneek]

This video was very helpful ❤

[@BestPrinters]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GuitarGamerRPG]

hi, do you know how much print quality wise change, between this and a smart tank plus 7005?

[@evagettler1184]

Is there a page feeder or do you copy 1 page at a time?

[@bernicearce6568]

No me puedo conectar,pq dice que mi impresora,no está,o no la consigues

[@djloumarquez241]

Is compatible with ecosolvent ink ?

[@BestPrinters]

Yes

[@Dab1Gab]

why is there more of the black ink

[@BestPrinters]

Black ink is the most frequently used Ink

[@FabbiRosario]

Super clear explanation.Thanks so much for your help!!! 😊🙋🏻‍♀🌞

[@BestPrinters]

Glad it was helpful!

[@09shnngns]

Does this have any kind of printer maintenance built in? Like the ability to clean the print heads through software like the Epson EcoTank ET 2850?

[@hugo69miguel]

yes

[@IreenAbellana]

i have this, very easy to use

[@JonRichardson-j1k]

I've tried to get the printheads in there and it can never recognize the black one. I'm about to pull my hair out.

[@urpp]

Very helpful

[@BestPrinters]

Glad it helped

[@mattblank7728]

unable to register? WTH does that mean?

[@BestPrinters]

System error

[@andreaely1899]

Does this printer support 300 gms paper??? (110lb)

[@alphalunamare]

110 lbs might break the lid.

[@TheSamleigh]

Thank you!

[@BestPrinters]

Welcome!

[@tkweiss47]

Is there anyone to connect this specific printer to my 5g network without using an Ethernet? None of my devices use The 2.4

[@carolinehonse35]

How can I set this printer up to use the hotspot. I currently don't have wifi in my house but i do have 50 gb per month of high speed hotspot wifi. Please help or point me to someone that can give me instructions. Thanks for your review of the hp 5101 printer. I just bought it.

[@BestPrinters]

With the mobile app

Am I supposed to turn it off when I’m not using it ?! 👁️👄👁️
