Key Advantages

The HP Deskjet 3520 series provides multifunctional capabilities including printing, scanning, and copying, which makes it a versatile device for everyday office needs. Its Wi-Fi connectivity allows convenient wireless printing from multiple devices. The printer delivers high-quality color prints with vibrant photo output, supporting borderless photo sizes up to 8.5 x 11 inches. Operating with separate ink cartridges helps reduce ink waste and lowers overall cost. The device has an easy-to-use interface with intuitive controls and supports HP’s ePrint technology for mobile printing. Its compact size fits well in limited space environments.

Limitations

The HP Deskjet 3520 uses inkjet technology, which means slower print speeds compared to laser printers, especially for high-volume printing. The paper input capacity is limited to about 60 sheets, which might not be sufficient for heavier workflows. It does not support duplex (double-sided) printing automatically, requiring manual paper reinsertion for two-sided prints. The print resolution, while suitable for casual photo printing, may not meet professional photo quality demands. The device’s scan resolution and speed are moderate and not suited for high-throughput scanning tasks. Additionally, the printer does not support advanced network protocols beyond basic Wi-Fi connectivity.
