💡 How Tank System Works: The Tank 530 has 4 integrated tanks (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) built into the printer’s side. When ink runs low, you simply pour ink from GT53/GT52 bottles into the tanks – the bottles have special tips that prevent spills and overfilling. The printer’s automatic ink sensor monitors levels and alerts you when refill is needed. Unlike cartridges that you throw away and replace (₹3,552 each!), you refill the same tanks repeatedly with ₹599 bottles. This saves massive money over time!
₹0.10/Page Cost – 45× Cheaper Than Cartridges!
💰 Ultra-Low Running Costs – Massive Savings!
At ₹0.10 per page (black) and ₹0.27 per page (color), the Tank 530 offers the LOWEST printing costs among ALL printers! Compare this to OfficeJet Pro’s ₹4.56/page black – you save 98% on printing costs!

💡 Cost Savings Reality Check: A typical home user printing 500 pages/month (6000/year) spends ₹27,360/year on 8120 cartridges vs ₹1,110/year on Tank 530 ink. That’s ₹26,250 saved per year! Over 3 years, you save ₹78,750 – enough to buy 4 more Tank 530 printers! The Tank 530’s ₹18,690 price pays for itself in just 8 months of printing vs 8120. After that, it’s pure savings. For students, home users, and small offices, the Tank system is a no-brainer financially!
18,000 Pages Included – 3 BLACK Bottles!
📦 Massive Value – 3×GT53XL + 3×GT52 Bottles!
The Tank 530 includes 3×GT53XL black bottles (135ml each, 6000 pages each) PLUS 1 set of GT52 color bottles (8000 pages total) = 18,000 pages in the box! This is HUGE value – OfficeJet Pro would need ₹51,480 in cartridges for 18K pages!

💡 Why 3 BLACK Bottles? HP understands that most printing is black text documents, not color. The average user prints 70-80% black pages vs 20-30% color. By including 3×GT53XL black bottles (18,000 black pages) vs only 1 set of color (8000 color pages), HP ensures you won’t run out of black ink quickly. This is smart packaging! The 3 black bottles alone cost ₹1,797 retail, making the Tank 530 an incredible value. You can print for 1-2 years before needing to buy any ink!
11ppm Speed – SLOWEST But Trade-Off for Cost
⚠️ Slow Speed – 11 ppm Black, 5 ppm Color
At 11 ppm black and 5 ppm color (ISO speed), the Tank 530 is the SLOWEST among all compared printers. This is the trade-off for ultra-low cost printing. For light home/student use, it’s fine. For high-volume offices, it’s too slow!
| Document Size | Tank 530 (11ppm) SLOWEST | 9130 (25ppm) FASTEST | 9720 (22ppm) | 8120 (20ppm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Pages | 55 seconds | 24 seconds | 27 seconds | 30 seconds |
| 50 Pages | 4 min 33 sec | 2 min | 2 min 16 sec | 2 min 30 sec |
| 100 Pages | 9 min 6 sec | 4 min | 4 min 32 sec | 5 min |
| 500 Pages | 45 min 30 sec | 20 min | 22 min 44 sec | 25 min |
| 800 Pages (Max Recommended) | 72 min 48 sec | 32 min | 36 min 21 sec | 40 min |
📊 ISO Speed (Standard)
Official ISO/IEC 24734 ratings:
Black: Up to 11 ppm
Color: Up to 5 ppm
SLOWEST among all!
⚡ Draft Speed (Fast)
Maximum draft mode speeds:
Black: Up to 22 ppm
Color: Up to 16 ppm
2× faster for drafts!
💼 Reality Check
Monthly at 800 pages:
Tank 530: 73 minutes
9130: 32 minutes
41 min slower (acceptable for home!)
💡 Speed vs Cost Trade-Off: The Tank 530’s 11 ppm is 2.3× slower than 9130’s 25 ppm. For 800 pages/month, you spend an extra 41 minutes/month printing. BUT you save ₹41,300/year on ink costs! For home users and students who print occasionally (300-500 pages/month), the slower speed is acceptable – you’re printing while doing other things anyway. For busy offices printing 1000+ pages/month where time is money, the Tank 530 is too slow – consider Tank 750 (same cost, faster speed with better features) or pay more for OfficeJet Pro speed.

- ✅ You need 2-sided ADF scanning!

💡 Quick Decision: Buy Tank 530 if you’re on a tight budget and print under 500 pages/month (students, light home use). Buy Tank 750 if you can afford ₹1,709 more and want 2× faster speed + auto duplex + 2-sided ADF + better capacity (BEST VALUE for most users!).

- • Students on tight budget (₹18,690 cheapest!)

- • Retirees (occasional printing, great value)
- • Users prioritizing LOW COST (₹0.10/page!)

⚠️ NOT Recommended For:

- • Users needing speed (11ppm painfully slow!)
- • Users wanting auto duplex (manual only – annoying!)
- • Users needing 2-sided ADF (1-sided only – get 750!)
- • Offices/businesses (too basic, get Tank 750!)
- • Anyone who values time (slow speed wastes time!)
💡 Bottom Line – Great Price, But Tank 750 Better Value!
The HP Smart Tank 530 at ₹18,690 offers unbeatable ₹0.10/page printing costs with 18,000 pages included (3 BLACK + 3 color bottles!). For students, light home users, and budget-conscious buyers, it’s an excellent money-saving option – you’ll save ₹26,000-40,000/year vs cartridge printers!
However, the Tank 530 has significant limitations: VERY SLOW (11ppm), NO auto duplex, 1-sided ADF only, tiny 100-sheet capacity, mono display. For just ₹1,709 more (9% premium), the Tank 750 at ₹20,399 offers 2× faster speed (23ppm), auto duplex, 2-sided ADF, 2.5× more capacity, color display – making it a FAR better value!
Recommendation: Buy Tank 530 ONLY if you’re on a VERY tight budget and print under 500 pages/month with no time constraints. For most users, spend ₹1,709 more for Tank 750 – the massive feature upgrades are worth it! Both have same ₹0.10/page cost, but Tank 750 is a complete printer while Tank 530 is bare-bones basic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why is Tank 530 so cheap (₹18,690) compared to OfficeJet printers?
The Tank 530 is cheap because it’s an entry-level tank printer with basic features: slow 11ppm speed, manual duplex only, 1-sided ADF, mono display, small 100-sheet capacity. It lacks premium features like auto duplex, 2-sided ADF, color touchscreen, high speeds. However, it offers the same ultra-low ₹0.10/page cost as expensive Tank 750, making it perfect for budget users who don’t need speed/features.
Q2: Should I buy Tank 530 (₹18,690) or Tank 750 (₹20,399)?
Buy Tank 750! For just ₹1,709 more (9% premium), Tank 750 offers 2× faster speed (23ppm vs 11ppm), auto duplex, 2-sided ADF, 2.5× more capacity (250 vs 100 sheets), color LCD display, and 5× higher duty cycle (5000 vs 1000 pages/month). Both have same ₹0.10/page cost. Tank 530 is ONLY worth it if you’re on a VERY tight budget and print under 300 pages/month. For most users, Tank 750 is FAR better value despite ₹1,709 more!
Q3: How much does it cost per page to print?
₹0.10 per black page, ₹0.27 per color page – this is the LOWEST printing cost among ALL printers! Calculation: GT53XL Black: ₹599 ÷ 6000 pages = ₹0.10/page. GT52 Color (all 3): (₹709×3) ÷ 8000 pages = ₹0.27/page. Compare to OfficeJet Pro 8120: ₹4.56/page black, ₹9.15/page color – that’s 45-34× more expensive! For 10,000 pages/year: Tank 530 = ₹1,850, OfficeJet 8120 = ₹62,850. You save ₹61,000/year!
Q4: What ink bottles are included in the box?
The Tank 530 includes 3×GT53XL BLACK bottles (135ml each, 6000 pages each = 18,000 BLACK pages total!) PLUS 1×GT52 Cyan, 1×GT52 Magenta, 1×GT52 Yellow (70ml each, 8000 COLOR pages total). Total: 18,000 pages of printing included FREE! This is incredible value – the ink alone costs ₹3,924 retail (₹599×3 black + ₹709×3 color). For OfficeJet Pro, 18K pages would cost ₹82,080 in cartridges!
Q5: Is 11ppm speed too slow?
YES, 11ppm is VERY slow – it’s the SLOWEST among all printers! For perspective: 100 pages takes 9 minutes (vs 4 min on OfficeJet Pro 9130, 5 min on 8120). For light home users and students printing 10-20 pages occasionally, it’s acceptable – you start the print and do other things. For offices printing 100+ pages daily or users who value time, it’s painfully slow. This is why Tank 750 (₹1,709 more) with 23ppm is FAR better value – 2× faster for small premium!
Q6: Does it have automatic 2-sided printing?
NO – the Tank 530 has MANUAL duplex only! To print 2-sided, you must print odd pages, manually flip the stack, then print even pages. This is tedious and time-consuming. The Tank 750 (₹1,709 more) has AUTOMATIC duplex – the printer automatically flips pages and prints both sides. If you print 2-sided documents frequently (reports, booklets), the Tank 530’s manual duplex is frustrating. Spend ₹1,709 more for Tank 750’s auto duplex!
Q7: Can I scan double-sided documents automatically?
NO – the Tank 530’s ADF is 1-SIDED only! To scan double-sided documents, you must scan all fronts, manually flip the stack, then scan all backs. The printer creates two separate PDF files that you must merge. The Tank 750 (₹1,709 more) has 2-SIDED ADF – automatically scans both sides without manual flipping. For offices scanning double-sided contracts/invoices frequently, Tank 530’s 1-sided ADF is inadequate. Get Tank 750 for duplex ADF!
Q8: How long will the 18,000 included pages last?
Depends on your usage! Light home user (300 pages/month): 5 YEARS! Average home (500 pages/month): 3 YEARS! Student (400 pages/month): 3.75 YEARS – all 4 years of college! Small office (800 pages/month): 1.9 YEARS! The 18,000 included pages (3 BLACK + 3 color bottles) provide incredible long-term value. Most users won’t need to buy ink for 2-5 years after purchase!
Q9: How do I refill the tanks?
Refilling is easy and spill-free! The Tank 530 has 4 visible tanks on the side (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). When ink runs low, simply open the tank cap, insert the GT53/GT52 bottle tip into the tank opening, and squeeze. The bottles have special tips that prevent spills and overfilling – the bottle stops releasing ink when the tank is full. The printer’s automatic sensor monitors ink levels and alerts you when refill is needed. Takes 2-3 minutes to refill all tanks!
Q10: What’s the maximum monthly print volume?
The Tank 530 has a maximum duty cycle of 1000 pages/month (absolute limit) and recommended volume of 400-800 pages/month. This makes it suitable for light home use and students ONLY. For offices printing 1000+ pages/month, the Tank 530 is inadequate – the Tank 750 has 5000 pages/month duty cycle and 1500/month recommended. If you consistently print more than 800 pages/month, the Tank 530 will wear out faster – buy Tank 750 instead!
Q11: Does it work with Mac, Windows, and mobile?
YES! The Tank 530 supports Windows 11, 10, 7, macOS 10.11-14 (El Capitan through Sonoma), iOS (via AirPrint), Android (via HP Smart app and Mopria). The HP Smart app (best-in-class mobile app) allows printing, scanning, and copying from smartphones/tablets. Dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz + 5GHz) provides faster, more reliable connections. WiFi Direct allows printing without a router. Fully compatible with all modern devices and operating systems!
Q12: How much will I save vs cartridge printers?
MASSIVE SAVINGS! Example: Home user printing 6000 pages/year – Tank 530: ₹1,110/year ink cost. OfficeJet 8120: ₹27,360/year cartridge cost. You save ₹26,250/year! Over 3 years, that’s ₹78,750 saved – enough to buy 4 more Tank 530 printers! The Tank 530’s ₹18,690 price pays for itself in 8 months vs OfficeJet Pro. After that, it’s pure savings. Over 5 years, you save ₹130,000+!
Q13: What’s the difference between GT53 and GT53XL?
GT53 = 90ml bottle (4000 pages, ₹399). GT53XL = 135ml bottle (6000 pages, ₹599). The Tank 530 includes 3×GT53XL (larger size!) in the box. Both cost ₹0.10/page – the XL just has 50% more ink per bottle. GT53XL is better value – you refill less often. Always buy GT53XL (₹599/6000) instead of GT53 (₹399/4000) for convenience, even though cost/page is identical!
Q14: Can I use third-party ink bottles?
NOT RECOMMENDED! While the Tank 530 uses refillable tanks (not cartridges with chips), using third-party ink can void warranty, clog print heads, and damage the printer. HP’s GT53/GT52 bottles are already ultra-cheap (₹0.10/page) – there’s minimal savings with third-party ink. The risk of ₹18,690 printer damage isn’t worth saving ₹100-200 on ink! Stick with original HP bottles for best quality, reliability, and warranty protection.
Q15: What’s included in the warranty?
The Tank 530 includes 1 Year or 30,000 pages limited hardware warranty, whichever comes first. This means if you print 30,000 pages in 6 months, warranty expires. For typical home users (6000 pages/year), the full 1-year warranty applies. FREE installation included! HP will install the printer at your location at no extra cost. 24/7 technical support via http://www.hp.com/support or call 1800 108 4749. Extended HP Care Pack warranties available for purchase.
