HP Smart Tank 6001 comes with two years of free ink for home office printing, but I love the back-to-school discount even more

We're massive fans of the ink tank printers we've tested, with cartridge-free printing offering much better value for money compared to standard inkjets.

So, if you're preparing for back-to-school or a home office upgrade, I've found a great deal on the HP Smart Tank 6001 tank printer for $200 (was $370) at Amazon .

That's almost half-price off an all-in-one that can print, scan and copy.

Features here include refillable ink tanks, automatic two-sided output, and wireless connectivity.

It also comes with up to two years of ink, which is enough for as many as 8,000 color or 6,000 black pages.

In the UK, this printer is known as the HP Smart Tank 6005, currently £179 (was £250) at Currys with three years' free ink.

Smart Tank 6001 Wireless All-In-One Ink Tank Printer: was $369.99 now $199.99 A color thermal inkjet all-in-one with print, scan and copy functionality, refillable ink tanks, automatic duplex output, borderless printing, and wired and wireless connectivity.

In the UK: now £179 (was £250) View Deal Why we recommend it Rather than repeatedly replacing expensive ink cartridges, you top up the 6001's built-in tanks using bottled ink, which is a cheaper and more convenient approach.

Bottled ink is much cheaper to buy compared to traditional inkjet cartridges, which is one of the reasons why we champion tank printers.

There's plenty of features from this HP model, too, making it suitable for students, home workers, and small business use.

The flatbed scanner handles documents you need to digitize, and the copier is useful for those time when you need another physical copy.

Automatic duplexing is handy for longer assignments and documents because it can output both sides of the page without you manually turning the paper over.

Borderless capabilities offer flexibility for photos and other creative projects.

There's also HP's AI-assisted formatting, which can remove unwanted elements when printing web pages and emails.
