Scan performance was a bit less impressive: while a 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) A4 scan took just nine seconds, there was a 46-second wait for a 600dpi photo scan. The same job in colour needed 90 seconds, which is still quite quick. Photocopy quality was also very high, with single copies taking about 14 seconds, and a 10-page mono copy just 65 seconds.

Fortunately, this speed doesn't come at the cost of quality: black text was crisp and dark, and graphics were strong and free of obvious grain or streaking - although we did spot a small amount of bleed through on our 80gsm test paper. Colour prints were impressively fast, too: its 8.6ppm on our graphics-heavy test is well above average. It's a particularly fast printer, delivering our black text test at 21.4 pages per minute (ppm), and at draft quality reaching 25.4ppm - faster than HP's claimed speed. But, if you can’t find a good deal, there are much better printers available out there at lower price brackets.These relatively minor grumbles aside, there's a lot to like about the OfficeJet Pro 8720. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 is a pretty good printer if you can find a good deal on it. So, all in all, the value proposition of this printer doesn’t seem very good. And HP support is not that great as well. And if you do get it, you’ll be stuck with the HP Instant Ink service as it is the only cost-friendly way of replacing the ink cartridges in the United States.

It’s clear to us that HP did not make any efforts to mark down the price on this one printer.


Overall, it’s a great printer in all four aspects (print scan copy fax). And the automatic document feeder is perfect for wireless printing. Also, you can print from your cloud storage by signing up on HP.com with your email address. Advanced Featuresīecause this printer features Wi Fi direct, mobile printing is possible without needing an active internet connection. Brother is a much better manufacturer in that regard, and if you pick up the Brother MFC-J880DW instead, you can easily use third party ink cartridges. And the original ink cartridges from HP (e.g., black ink cartridge, magenta ink cartridge) cost way too much (at least $50-$60 each). However, HP has a pretty bad reputation for not letting users select third party high yield ink cartridges. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 Inkjet Printer is obviously more power-efficient than a laser printer. However, if you need more detailed and sharp looking results, go for the Epson WorkForce WF-3540 instead. That should be enough for most people who are just going to perform copy fax print on it. According to the product information section at HP.com, you can select up to 2400 x 1200 true DPI as your print resolution while printing on a photo paper. The print quality of the HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 wireless printer is actually pretty good as well. Still, it beats even the legendary Brother HL-L2350DW in terms of print speed. However, the duplexing print speed is much lower than that, as you can expect.
