Key Advantages

The HP Photosmart 6520 offers seamless multifunctionality by combining printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in a single device. Its wireless connectivity options provide flexible placement without the hassle of cables. The 2.65-inch color touchscreen enhances usability with straightforward navigation and control. High print resolution and borderless photo printing support professional-quality documents and photos. Automatic duplex printing reduces paper consumption, promoting cost efficiency. Compatibility with mobile printing apps enhances convenience for users working remotely or on the go.

Limitations

The HP Photosmart 6520 has modest print speeds that may not meet the demands of high-volume office environments. Its ink cartridge system can be costly relative to some competitors due to separate color cartridges. The input tray capacity of 125 sheets is limited for larger print jobs, requiring frequent paper refills. Scanning resolution is adequate but not suitable for high-end image digitization needs. The device lacks advanced security features found in newer models, which may be a concern for sensitive office data. Software updates and driver support have ceased as the model is now older, limiting compatibility with the latest operating systems.
