SeekerHP Tango X
The HP Tango X printer is disappointing for family use. It doesn't print many pages before its cartridges run out of ink, meaning you'll be spending a lot of money to replace them often if you print a lot. Also, since it's a printer-only unit, it doesn't have a flatbed or a sheetfed scanner. On the bright side, while its color accuracy is disappointing, its printed photos look good. Plus, you can use the mobile app to watch ink levels and paper levels.

La HP Tango X convierte la impresión en un elemento de uso natural dentro de lo estimamos que debe ofrecer un hogar digital.
A nivel de costes, cualquiera de las modalidades de tarifa plana de impresión ofrecidas por el servicio HP Instant Ink, hacen realidad el hecho de que podamos imprimir en los hogares sin preocupaciones de costes.
En el peor de los casos, con la modalidad de ‘Impresión ocasional’ cuyo coste mensual asciende a los 2,99 €, nos aseguramos que la impresión tendrá un precio inferior a los 3 céntimos de euro, y tarifa plana de tinta para 50 hojas.

HP's Tango X "smart printer," the first we've tested with voice activation and smart home features, is all about printing from mobile devices. It's not perfect, but given its unique free-snapshot printing angle, it will be a tough act for future models to follow.

The small wireless HP Tango X prints quickly and delivers high print quality, but the smartphone copy and scan functions leave much to be desired.
