You'll probably get some flak for this video being sponsored by HP and talking about an inkjet printer... but don't let that discourage you. I found this quite interesting. Pagewide isn't a technology most people are familiar with; you explained and demonstrated it very well, while making a concise, thoughtful review. I wouldn't mind seeing more similar sponsored content, as long the opinions expressed therein are honest and the product is innovative. Thanks, Wendell.
#Memjet technology copied by HP was founded in Sydney Australia by a small group of scientists in the mid 1990's at the Silverbrook Labs in the suburb of Balmain.
+Tek Syndicate I agree with John; nothing wrong with you receiving money that way, and it was interesting. You guys say right up front that it's sponsored (and almost none of your videos are!), and I know I can trust you to be honest. It's nice to see you getting support!
+John Drachenberg I doubt they will get that much flak...Sponsored videos are not evil...Not being honest about it is...The Tek guys have always been straight about it...And their audience appreciates that.
I can vouch for this printer. We have a 476, which uses similar technology and in the past year we have beat the crap out of the printer with big print jobs and it still runs like it's new. It's actually running better than a lot of our lasers.
Wendell, I just bought this printer based on your review. It will be delivered on Monday. One of my main reasons to buy this was the technology. Low cost per page and the speed. It's definately more than I need but the cost saving with the ink and duplex printing to me was worth it. I'm looking forward to see how it prints photos on glossy photo paper. I downloaded the manuel from HP website and printed out on mu HP Mono laser. I'll be up to speed by the time I receive the printer. Thanks for your review.
We've been using Page wide HD printers in my office for nearly 2 years now. The cost per page is lower than our old Kyocera Colour lasers and we've had no problems with them at all! Good video.
I personally owned one of this printers, which I use for my small business so far it works really well, printing copies really fast, the scanner has a good quality, but the most important thing I can print directly from any mobile device which allows you to work fast on the go without having to login in you computer to print. Really good printer.
I really appreciate that you stated it's a sponsored video. Thank you. Not that it influences me either way, other than just having more respect for the Tek
He has the same USB-Stick as me... HE HAS THE EXACT SAME MODEL OF USB-STICK AS ME!!!! That's not something you see every day. I'm about to faint from excitement.
Thomaster шлепанцы Well, its like porn, sometimes it doesn't have to be the wierdest fisting, pee in your mouth kind, sometimes a little missionary is ok^^
Martin Barkaway Nielsen .................. . . . Did you see how easily he was able to print from his smartphone? From his freaking SMARTPHONE!!! That's amazing!
I am not actually interested in buying a printer, but I watched this video for tek syndicate. Keep up the good content! Btw: I like that you clearly stated it was a sponsored video
This is the kind of sponsored video I really enjoy. Fairly impartial, mentions potential biases at the outset and then goes through all of the hardware.
I'm not lying when I say I've been using hp inkjet printers for over 15 years. I know what some of their printers are rated for and while AIO (all in one) printers aren't designed for crazy usage, I've duplex printed 1000 pages per day (tabloid and letter) on various models and refilled dozens of gallons worth of ink. I would have killed to have a full page width print head back in those days. Maybe about 3 or 4 years ago, HP finally became less greedy by not making the print head for each color a consumable product. On a day to day I am using an hp printer for regular docs and an all in one mostly for network scanning and scan to email function. The one thing lacking in your review is the web based interface. HP literally has the best web configuration backend compared to brother and epson. I might consider this as an upgrade for my office when our current AIO dies. And with windows 8 and 10 it's just plug and play to your network. You don't have to install the disk anymore, unless you actually want to scan from your pc. I always just scan from the printer and scan to a network folder and keep the printer bloatware off my pc.
I use the last gen prox 570dw by HP with similar specs. up to 80k pages printed, 15k duplex pages. so far the only issues are literally a couple paper jams. very easy to use. would completely recommend . we print about 25k-40k pages a year. would buy again or newer model if it ever dies.
As a Sysadmin this is a really interesting product, and I appreciate getting someone like Wendell's view on it. I love the HP Colour Lasers we have deployed, however I find shopping for them is an awful experience. HP if you really want to get your products out there then dear lord fix your awful website, and I don't mean another UI to get lost in. I mean proper detailed information and structuring your models properly so I can find the right size of printer and then go through and pick whether I want the DN, DW, DWE, or whatever! Stop treating them like they're all unique models!
The high cost of replacing ink/toner is my biggest annoyance and concern. I'm considering buying a laser printer for the better accuracy and reduced cost of ownership (excluding initial purchase cost) - but this printer seems very exciting and fast. I also do not print very often and laser was touted to be better for such use. 1. Can someone please tell confirm *whether the ink/toner on this printer is more economical than the average laser printer?* 2. Do these ink cartridges have a certain shelf-life? I know that some ink cartridges tend to dry up and become very ineffective if not used frequently enough. Is this the case with this printer also? 3. Can we use non-HP ink/toner cartridges on this printer to further lower the cost of ownership?
This is a sick printer for an inkjet! It would be cool to see this kind of tech keep Inkjet going - the problem is the high ink cost and shitty printer quality. Time to turn that around.
The super yield ink is not that expensive compared to laser ink toner, in fact it's cheaper. You get 10,000 pages for BLK and 7000 pages for the colors. Here's the cost at HP. I'm sure other websites have sales that will further cut the cost. High Yield: Colors 136.00, 7000 pgs. BLK 140.00, 10,000 pgs. total cost= 548.00 Regular: Colors 80.00, 3000 pgs. BLK 70.00, 3500 pgs. Total Cost= 310.00 Not bad.
I have the previous version of this printer, the HP Officejet Pro X476. Very good performance, very fast printing. Also very cheap to maintain but because it prints so fast, I print more than before. The text is crisp (very close to laser quality) but image quality can be improved, I think that the colors should be more saturated. It's acceptable printing solid colors of graphs, diagrams... As you've said, this printer is great printer for small-medium buisness.
Congrats on the video, the review and for getting sponsors guys. Love the channel. I know you gotta make a living, please don´t become another BIASED tech channel in the near future. Would love to get one of this printers here for my job!!
This was interesting to think about. I'm really shocked that the pagewide idea hadn't been done years ago! As much as I've had ups and downs with hp (I had a laptop that broke a month after the warranty, but I also have 2 monitors that I've had forever), if they came up with this, my hat is off to them.
TekSyndicate are able to give more details on a printer than the Sales people HP hire for about $25K a year (I guess!? I dunno what they pay) but TekSyndicate are able to deliver
this is the first time in a long time that an inkjet has wowed me. There have been 2 previous times: an epson in 1999 when I was 4 and "putting the picture on the computer on paper" was the coolest thing and another epson in 2012 when it beat my HP Laserjet in print speeds and came close in print quality. The one thing I have to say about this printer is this: "Holy fuck that's awesome!" I don't care that HP sponsored you because I know that you will speak your mind about a product and not talk good if there isn't good to talk. If my current HP Laserjet Pro 200 dies, I know what I'm going to get! I bet I won't ever get Lp0 with one of these. That's how my last Laserjet died. It didn't detect a jam in the fuser and caught on fire. I didn't get an Lp0 error, but I definitely saw the smoke and pulled the plug.
Selling the older models of these at work, the X476DW and X576DW, when they're on sale, it really is a compelling buy, especially given that those ink tanks give you more pages at a lower price per page than most toner drums (Brother XL being the exception, they usually do 5000 pages rather than the more common 2000-3500). When they're on sale, they're really not too bad (~$300 cad for the 476), but it is a large initial investment, and the tanks aren't inexpensive, even if they are a nice value, so most consumers balk at it.
I think Wendell has gotten significantly better at making videos lately. He's always been informative, but not always the most entertaining to watch of the team... However, this was actually interesting and enjoyable to watch. He managed to somehow make a 10 minute video of a fucking inkjet entertaining. I think that says a lot about him.
Uniformity problem. My test on Staples: uniform horizontal color strips on portrait letter size pdf file does not print as uniform strips. It looks as if the page wide print head has several sections. Each section prints slightly different color compared to another section. We can notice the difference of colors from the two adjacent sections. At same Staples store, I printed the same pdf file on a HP color laser printer. The uniform horizontal color strips were printed as uniform color strips. I printed the same pdf file on a Canon Maxify inkjet printer in which the print head moves. The uniform horizontal color strips were printed as uniform color strips.
And the thing they dont tell you is the machine will work for 20-30k pages in the "real world" environment before white streaking occurs from damaged/clogged print nozzles. And its uneconomical to replace the printhead. Great while it works, but general money pit. The Lack of direct connection to Earth in the Power Supply causes frequent "blue screen of death" errors in home/work environments that suffer from high amounts of static electricity. Staff dragging their feet on the carpet as they walk up to the printer to collect printouts then touching the printer transfers static electric charge to the machine and the motherboard flips out and hangs, forcing the user to unplug and replug the unit at the power socket. Seen many customers with this fault.
Just unpacked my 477dw printer and set it up with HP's help. While on the phone with HP the first page da verical lines every inch and some white spots. Did a recalibrate and cleans the heads and it realigned and it became worse. Sent photos to the HP tech guy and he agreed that something is wrong. He put me on hold then said he has to have a consultation with HP to decide what to do...Really are you kidding. He then said something that blew me away. I had to laugh. He said I could return the new one and they'd send me a refurbished printer. I saidafter laughing why a refurbished one. He then said that's what the consultation is about. Man, what service. Just send me a new one when you pick up the old one and of course pay for shipping on both. The Printer looks great but I found it quite noisy, just like a laser printer. I'm leaning towards just returning the thing and look for another brand. Don't want to go through getting a new one and have the same thing happen or a different problem.. Oh I printed a few photos and every inch from top to bottom there was a line like it was scratch the paper. The printer looks awesome though.
I have the higher end model of this printer "HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP". It's pretty awesome and nice. VERY FAST printing with really good quality prints.
+alexandsimba Don't blame Ad Block. Ad Block is a symptom of the disease that is web ads. The truth is, website devs and advert companies have gone insane with ad content that is so intrusive it makes browsing a painful experience.
***** I've been online since 1993. I can tell you it has become a mess. Some sites are good. I have everything disabled when I'm on UA-cam. Other sites are abusive. Never mind the ads, you can't even move your mouse without hitting Intellitext and having a window or ad pop up. WIthout NoScript and uBlock, it would be game over for sane browsing. I do IT work for the SOHO market. Let me tell you, NoScript and uBlock keep my client's PCs safe and clean. Client's that don't use those tools are constantly having problems, infections, toolbars installed, so on and so on. You need these tools. Just try to donate to good groups and/or disable those tools when you can.
First thanks for being up front that its sponsored, second I am a HP Fan boy when it comes to Inkjet and Laser Printers. Once my old work horse dies I will look into this. Thirdly, please start reading the YT comments and encourage the other Tek employee's to do like wise. I don't have time to bounce around from site to site, if I am on youtube and leave a comment I would expect someone from Tek to read it. Ignoring people's comments on youtube or pretending that they don't exist to drive traffic to your forums is not exactly in great taste.
Ultra Sound Well thats not what I meant. Someone actually got Doom to run on a printer and used the screen of it to play they game. I think it was a Cannon printer but I could be wrong. The textures were a complete mess, but it worked
i work at Office Depot and in the year and a half i have been there i can sell more of these printers over a color laser jet all day the ink for the plane and the xl cartridges they yield more pages per print than a laser i love these printers and if you can keep your eyes on the sales the hp officejet x476 can go for half off
+chris eldred But a laser will always give a cleaner, shinier print from cheaper paper. You need really high quality inkjet paper to get even close. Nobody ever seems to factor in the cost of the paper in the per page cost. I can only assume that in most business cases the crispness of the print is unimportant.
a sponsored video done right, thank god. Unlike so many other youtubers that suck shit at it and just pull the "we need to pay bills" card just because they did a bad job. Good job Wendell!
Inkjet printing has come a long way, especially in Sheetfed Digital Press sector. The technology developed for that has trickled down in to this market. Inkjet is here to stay in one form or another.
I have the 476dw and it is one of the cheapest cost per page printer (that doesnt cost as much or more than my car). I wish i had waited for this to come out, the speed looks so good, not that the 476dw is bad at 36 pages a minute. As far as inkjet goes though if your spending say like 100$ on an inkjet printer then yea its not as good but these printers from hp are a really nice exception especially considering the price compared to laser printers. my grandmother has the hp 8610 and although its slow the cost per page is almost as good as my 476
In terms of cost per page these will never be as low as Epson's Ecotank line. They can be cheaper then refilling your own cartridges (they just cost 3x more for the printer).
Is this printer seeingyellow? Does it print the forensic tracking dots that make your printouts traceable, like on practically every colour laser printer?
I m not certain what this accomplishes. It is probably one of the fastest ink jets around, but an ink jet is still an ink jet. For that money, I think it makes more sense to get a laser printer which would most probably be more reliable.
Just got this printer for my small business a week ago and love it! I used to have an HP Laser Printer for years I was reluctant to switch to ink jet, but gave it a try knowing I can return the unit within 30 days should I not be happy. I'm not a tech person, but managed to set up the printer all by myself (Whoo-Huhh) and get it running with all features except for the scanner I'm still struggling with trying to figure it out. Any suggestions how to go about this? Other then that - highly recommended!
Good morning, I'm trying to finish the installation of a PageWide Pro 477dw that I removed from the box, but the toners that came in it have already been used and I'm putting a new one but new and original but it keeps asking for the SETUP cartridges or those that come with the printer, how do I have a way to skip this part and use another toner without this setup?
Now that you guys have HP's ear, maybe try and get your paws on the HP Elite X3 phone. It looks pretty interesting as far as x86 mobile devices are concerned.
You'll probably get some flak for this video being sponsored by HP and talking about an inkjet printer... but don't let that discourage you. I found this quite interesting. Pagewide isn't a technology most people are familiar with; you explained and demonstrated it very well, while making a concise, thoughtful review. I wouldn't mind seeing more similar sponsored content, as long the opinions expressed therein are honest and the product is innovative. Thanks, Wendell.
+John Drachenberg Thanks very much. I appreciate your comment and am humbled by your support. It really is a neat way to approach inkjet design.
+Tek Syndicate Would love more sponsored enterprise stuff. Too many people doing the same GPUs etc.

I've never seen sponsored content done like this. Great job doing diligent research and adequately understanding the product, and reviewing it.

is that true... because i want 1.
Wendell, I just bought this printer based on your review. It will be delivered on Monday. One of my main reasons to buy this was the technology. Low cost per page and the speed. It's definately more than I need but the cost saving with the ink and duplex printing to me was worth it. I'm looking forward to see how it prints photos on glossy photo paper. I downloaded the manuel from HP website and printed out on mu HP Mono laser. I'll be up to speed by the time I receive the printer. Thanks for your review.
Sponsored content done right, the Wendell ftw.
+1
I have never thought I'd watch an inkjet printer review video in my life. Wendell made me do it. It was great.
this printer is a beast i used to sell these things at my old job and i have to say this is about the only inkjet printer i truly liked.
We've been using Page wide HD printers in my office for nearly 2 years now. The cost per page is lower than our old Kyocera Colour lasers and we've had no problems with them at all! Good video.
JBloomfield1990 still working? Whats the number of total pages printed so far? (Black, color, duplex?) thanks
I can't believe I just watched an entire Tek Syndicate video about an ink jet printer.
+Dave L I know, but it was good. If I ever buy a printer, I'm getting this one.
I'd stick with laser. You can get decent laser multi-function printers pretty cheap these days.
+Aaron Harris you can do the same with toner, although it can be much more complicated than refilling an ink cartridge :/
For a video about a printer, I wasn't expecting much, but I am blown away!
I personally owned one of this printers, which I use for my small business so far it works really well, printing copies really fast, the scanner has a good quality, but the most important thing I can print directly from any mobile device which allows you to work fast on the go without having to login in you computer to print.

Now there's something you don't see every day, a printer review :D
He has the same USB-Stick as me... HE HAS THE EXACT SAME MODEL OF USB-STICK AS ME!!!!
That's not something you see every day. I'm about to faint from excitement.
Lifetime achievement...CHECK ! HEHE
Now I can die without regrets!
Is what I would say if it wasn't one of the most generic mainstream models of USB3-Stick in existence...

Loving the Wendell vids, can't get enough of him.
really find this video intersecting always love seeing different content ,and that printer is crazy

The super yield ink is not that expensive compared to laser ink toner, in fact it's cheaper. You get 10,000 pages for BLK and 7000 pages for the colors. Here's the cost at HP. I'm sure other websites have sales that will further cut the cost.
High Yield:
Colors 136.00, 7000 pgs.
BLK 140.00, 10,000 pgs.
total cost= 548.00
Regular:
Colors 80.00, 3000 pgs.
BLK 70.00, 3500 pgs.
Total Cost= 310.00
Not bad.
Let us know it's sponsored right away and I see no problem. Thanks, Wendell!

That is insanely fast printing! I want that printer even though I'm a Canon fan
Thanks for the video Tek syndicate, I probably buy this next time I need a printer.
Only Wendell could make a video about a printer interesting. Fair play.
I've never heard of Pagewide before. That's cool!

such a huge printer I expected C13 on the back.
get ready 2 c more print heads since jayz2cents is also going to review a printer I think hp is going around feeding these channels with printers

I really like this new style
we've had one for about a year and it works quite well. No issues to report. works well with Linux too...via hplip.
Wendell's approach makes this interesting to watch from start to finish
I've been looking for a scanner and a printer. I think I'm going to buy this thing. Nice review.
I wonder if theyll make a new version of this...
Uniformity problem. My test on Staples: uniform horizontal color strips on portrait letter size pdf file does not print as uniform strips.
It looks as if the page wide print head has several sections. Each section prints slightly different color compared to another section. We can notice the difference of colors from the two adjacent sections.
At same Staples store, I printed the same pdf file on a HP color laser printer. The uniform horizontal color strips were printed as uniform color strips.
I printed the same pdf file on a Canon Maxify inkjet printer in which the print head moves. The uniform horizontal color strips were printed as uniform color strips.
Great video Wendell, nice to see that they are trying to make inkjet cost effective. (John)

this video doesn't feel like a tek video at all
It's a sponsor video. It's more commercial than spec wise. It helps pay the bills thanks to Ad Block now.
+alexandsimba
Don't blame Ad Block. Ad Block is a symptom of the disease that is web ads. The truth is, website devs and advert companies have gone insane with ad content that is so intrusive it makes browsing a painful experience.

Also don't forget, some viruses actually come from ads, or use exploits in whatever the ad was coded in.

I've been online since 1993. I can tell you it has become a mess. Some sites are good. I have everything disabled when I'm on UA-cam. Other sites are abusive. Never mind the ads, you can't even move your mouse without hitting Intellitext and having a window or ad pop up. WIthout NoScript and uBlock, it would be game over for sane browsing.
I do IT work for the SOHO market. Let me tell you, NoScript and uBlock keep my client's PCs safe and clean. Client's that don't use those tools are constantly having problems, infections, toolbars installed, so on and so on.
You need these tools. Just try to donate to good groups and/or disable those tools when you can.
+Kiniamaro its just for the money, its fine if it supports there otherwise steller content. Just ignore there sponsor videos.
Man, this was so cool. I now want to toss out my old printer and get this bad boy.
I'm trying to figure out how to print "borderless" with this printer. So far no one has been able to help me. Any guidance would be appreciated
Very similar to a model we have at work. They're pretty damn good!
I love messing around with corporate printers, haha. One we had a recent job of mine allowed scanning to a network share. Very handy.
Really funny that I bought one of these for £100 this morning! hahah
Sometimes I don't even care about the content, I just like to listen to Wendell's voice.
I remember the big boxes for the HP Laserjet 4 and 5-sI series... oh yeah.
First thanks for being up front that its sponsored, second I am a HP Fan boy when it comes to Inkjet and Laser Printers. Once my old work horse dies I will look into this. Thirdly, please start reading the YT comments and encourage the other Tek employee's to do like wise. I don't have time to bounce around from site to site, if I am on youtube and leave a comment I would expect someone from Tek to read it. Ignoring people's comments on youtube or pretending that they don't exist to drive traffic to your forums is not exactly in great taste.
Make it play doom. I know its possible.
+IdealIdeas100 By printing 60 pages a second!
Ultra Sound
Well thats not what I meant. Someone actually got Doom to run on a printer and used the screen of it to play they game.
I think it was a Cannon printer but I could be wrong.
The textures were a complete mess, but it worked
pffft, real gamers play on paper. ;)
I'd love it if Wendell were to jack with the OS to do some funky tricks. It might be. UNIX based OS.
i work at Office Depot and in the year and a half i have been there i can sell more of these printers over a color laser jet all day the ink for the plane and the xl cartridges they yield more pages per print than a laser i love these printers and if you can keep your eyes on the sales the hp officejet x476 can go for half off
+chris eldred But a laser will always give a cleaner, shinier print from cheaper paper. You need really high quality inkjet paper to get even close.
Nobody ever seems to factor in the cost of the paper in the per page cost. I can only assume that in most business cases the crispness of the print is unimportant.
Seems perfect for printing dank memes!
holy crap that prints fast
I had an Ink Jet from HP several years ago. Now I have just a monochrom laserprinter from Samsung.
John de Lancie ;D been re-watching TNG the last couple of weeks, Q is great :D

wow, the speed is awesome!
a sponsored video done right, thank god. Unlike so many other youtubers that suck shit at it and just pull the "we need to pay bills" card just because they did a bad job. Good job Wendell!
well Wendel knows his shit, unlike other so called "tech" channels
+FantaFuture92 exactly, ahem ahem MKBHD and gang.
pretty cool printer actually... but can you root it in the future?????
Inkjet printing has come a long way, especially in Sheetfed Digital Press sector. The technology developed for that has trickled down in to this market. Inkjet is here to stay in one form or another.
Absolutly reasonable. Nice!
John de Lancie, I do love it when Wendell works in some star trek.
How do you load legal size paper in the tray?
I have the 476dw and it is one of the cheapest cost per page printer (that doesnt cost as much or more than my car). I wish i had waited for this to come out, the speed looks so good, not that the 476dw is bad at 36 pages a minute.
As far as inkjet goes though if your spending say like 100$ on an inkjet printer then yea its not as good but these printers from hp are a really nice exception especially considering the price compared to laser printers. my grandmother has the hp 8610 and although its slow the cost per page is almost as good as my 476
I fucking love HP printers.
In terms of cost per page these will never be as low as Epson's Ecotank line. They can be cheaper then refilling your own cartridges (they just cost 3x more for the printer).
What is the difference between this and hp officejet pro x576dw?
Great video.
Is the cartridge tray assembly removable and is it easily installed?
interested to know how long the ink carts last, or if they will dry up over time.
Whoa damn, that thing is pretty big & speedy :o
I have this printer and I have dust/dirt underneath the glass - how do you access this area to clean? It shows up when copying
yep we got one of these demos from HP aswell, why not hey.
I'm trying to change the cartridges and I'm having problems.
I can't seem to find the supported paper sizes on HP's site. I need to keep looking for a A3 Large format printer myself.
Hopefully Home Depot sponsor a few videos so we can watch paint dry
+UXXV
Watching paint dry is an actual profession.
Is this printer seeingyellow? Does it print the forensic tracking dots that make your printouts traceable, like on practically every colour laser printer?
remember guys this printed wireless.... from his phone. hahaha we love you wendell
than you for your review, does duplex on legal size paper?
can you commend what is the difference between the old model OfficeJet Pro X476 dn and this one?
Can it print if one cartridge has depleted,and the others still has ink?
How can I get it to print to use tray no.2 the big one I hate using the little one
I m not certain what this accomplishes. It is probably one of the fastest ink jets around, but an ink jet is still an ink jet. For that money, I think it makes more sense to get a laser printer which would most probably be more reliable.
If the print head is going across the entire sheet of paper, why does HP say it does not support borderless printing?
Just got this printer for my small business a week ago and love it! I used to have an HP Laser Printer for years I was reluctant to switch to ink jet, but gave it a try knowing I can return the unit within 30 days should I not be happy.
I'm not a tech person, but managed to set up the printer all by myself (Whoo-Huhh) and get it running with all features except for the scanner I'm still struggling with trying to figure it out. Any suggestions how to go about this? Other then that - highly recommended!
Good morning, I'm trying to finish the installation of a PageWide Pro 477dw that I removed from the box, but the toners that came in it have already been used and I'm putting a new one but new and original but it keeps asking for the SETUP cartridges or those that come with the printer, how do I have a way to skip this part and use another toner without this setup?
How do the prints compare to a Laser print ?
Now that you guys have HP's ear, maybe try and get your paws on the HP Elite X3 phone. It looks pretty interesting as far as x86 mobile devices are concerned.
