Key Advantages

The HP Photosmart 6520 offers wireless printing convenience, enabling users to print from multiple devices without physical connections. It features a 2.36-inch color touchscreen for easy navigation and operation. Its support for automatic duplex printing helps save paper and reduces manual intervention. The printer provides high-quality photo printing with specialized photo cartridges delivering vivid color and detail. It includes an automatic document feeder supporting multiple pages for scanning and copying tasks, enhancing productivity. Additionally, it is designed with HP ePrint technology, allowing printing via email from almost anywhere, increasing flexibility.

Limitations

Despite its versatile features, the HP Photosmart 6520 can have slower print speeds compared to laser printers when handling large volumes. The ink cartridges, while producing high-quality prints, tend to be more costly and may require frequent replacement for heavy users. The touchscreen interface, while convenient, is relatively small which may limit complex navigation. Wireless connectivity can occasionally experience drops or require troubleshooting in certain network environments. The device's build is primarily plastic, which may affect durability over extended heavy use. Scanning resolution is moderate, which might not meet the needs for highly detailed scanning tasks.
