Auto Duplex Printing – Game Changer vs 584
🔄 Automatic 2-Sided Printing – Why This Matters!
The 720’s automatic duplex printing is the BIGGEST advantage over 584. While 584 requires you to manually flip and reinsert pages (tedious!), the 720 automatically prints both sides. This saves paper, time, and frustration – worth the ₹7,700 premium alone!
✅ Auto Duplex (720)
- • Fully Automatic: Printer flips pages itself
- • No Manual Work: Press print, walk away
- • 50% Paper Savings: 100 pages = 50 sheets
- • Time Savings: No babysitting printer
- • Professional Look: Perfect 2-sided docs
- • No Errors: Can’t flip wrong way
- • Monthly Savings: ₹300/month on paper
- • Worth ₹7,700: Premium over 584 justified!
❌ Manual Duplex (584)
- • Manual Flip: YOU flip each page
- • Tedious Process: Print → Flip → Reinsert → Repeat
- • Time Consuming: Babysit the printer
- • Error Prone: Easy to flip wrong direction
- • Alignment Issues: Pages may not align
- • Frustrating: For 50+ page jobs
- • Not Professional: Mistakes happen
- • Deal Breaker: For regular 2-sided printing
💰 Paper Savings Calculator
| Monthly Printing | Without Duplex (584) | With Auto Duplex (720) | Savings/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 pages/month | 500 sheets (₹300) | 250 sheets (₹150) | ₹150/month |
| 1000 pages/month | 1000 sheets (₹600) | 500 sheets (₹300) | ₹300/month |
| 2000 pages/month | 2000 sheets (₹1,200) | 1000 sheets (₹600) | ₹600/month |
*Paper cost calculated at ₹300 per 500 sheets (1 ream A4)
💡 ROI Analysis: If you print 1000 pages/month, auto duplex saves ₹300/month in paper. The ₹7,700 premium over 584 pays for itself in 26 months (2+ years). Plus time saved not manually flipping pages. After 2 years, you’re saving money forever. For 500+ pages/month users, auto duplex is absolutely worth it!
23ppm Speed – DOUBLE vs 584!
⚡ Professional Speed – Same as 750!
The 720 delivers 23 ppm black and 22 ppm color – NEARLY TWICE as fast as 584 (12/5 ppm)! This is the same speed as the premium 750 model. You get flagship performance at mid-tier price!
| Document Size | 584 Time (12 ppm) | 720 Time (23 ppm) | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Pages | 50 seconds | 26 seconds | 24 sec (48%) |
| 50 Pages | 4 min 10 sec | 2 min 10 sec | 2 min (48%) |
| 100 Pages | 8 min 20 sec | 4 min 20 sec | 4 min (48%) |
| 500 Pages | 41 min 40 sec | 21 min 45 sec | 20 min (48%) |
📊 Speed Comparison
584: 12 ppm black, 5 ppm color
720: 23 ppm black, 22 ppm color
750: 23 ppm black, 22 ppm color
720 matches 750 speed – DOUBLE vs 584!
💼 Monthly Time Savings
500 pages/month: Save 10 minutes
1000 pages/month: Save 20 minutes
2000 pages/month: Save 40 minutes
Time is money – speed matters!
💡 Speed Value: The 720’s 23 ppm speed is identical to the ₹25,246 premium 750 model. You’re getting flagship speed at ₹21,699 mid-tier price! For users printing 500+ pages/month, the 2× speed boost over 584 is absolutely worth the ₹7,700 premium. Time saved = productivity gained!
Dual-Band WiFi – 5G Support Like 750
📶 Premium WiFi – 2.4G + 5G Dual-Band
The 720 features dual-band WiFi (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz) just like the premium 750 model. This is a significant upgrade over 584’s single-band 2.4 GHz WiFi. Faster, cleaner, more reliable wireless printing!
📡 Dual-Band WiFi (720/750)
- • 2.4 GHz: Long range, wall penetration
- • 5 GHz: Faster speeds, less interference
- • Self-Healing: Auto-reconnects
- • WiFi Direct: No router needed
- • 150 Mbps: 5G band speed
- • Premium Feature: Like 750!
⚠️ Single-Band WiFi (584)
- • 2.4 GHz Only: No 5G option
- • Congested Band: Microwaves, Bluetooth
- • Slower Speeds: 72 Mbps max
- • More Interference: Busy offices struggle
- • Basic WiFi: Entry-level
- • Fine for Homes: But not ideal
💻 Mobile Printing
- • HP Smart App: Full features
- • AirPrint: iPhone/iPad/Mac
- • Mopria: Android devices
- • WiFi Direct: Direct connection
- • USB 2.0: Wired backup
- • Same as 750: All connectivity!
💡 Why Dual-Band Matters: In crowded WiFi environments (apartments, offices), the 2.4 GHz band gets congested with microwaves, Bluetooth, neighbors’ routers. 5 GHz provides clean, fast connection with less interference. The 720 matches 750’s premium WiFi – huge advantage over 584’s basic single-band. Worth it for reliable printing!
🚫 What 720 DOESN’T Have: No Ethernet/LAN port (unlike 750). But honestly, 99% of home/small office users don’t need Ethernet – WiFi works perfectly fine! The 750’s Ethernet port is useful for large offices with wired networks, but overkill for most users. Save ₹3,547 by skipping it!

🏆 Final Verdict
Should You Buy HP Smart Tank 720?
The HP Smart Tank 720 is the PERFECT sweet spot printer at ₹21,699, delivering flagship features (auto duplex, 23 ppm speed, 250-sheet tray, dual-band WiFi) while intelligently skipping rarely-used extras (ADF, Ethernet) to save ₹3,547 vs the 750. This is the smart choice for 90% of home office and small business users who want premium performance without paying for features they’ll never use!
The 720’s value proposition is brilliantly simple: get ALL the important upgrades over 584, skip ALL the unnecessary features of 750. Vs 584 (₹13,999), you pay ₹7,700 more but get automatic duplex saving ₹300/month in paper, DOUBLE the speed (23 vs 12 ppm) saving 48% print time, dual-band WiFi with 5G support, 2.5× paper capacity (250 vs 100 sheets), 3.3× output capacity, 67% higher duty cycle (5000 vs 3000), and 2× the included black ink (12K vs 6K pages). These upgrades are REAL and USEFUL for anyone printing 500+ pages monthly. Vs 750 (₹25,246), you save ₹3,547 by skipping the 35-sheet ADF and Ethernet port – features that sound impressive but 90% of users never actually utilize. How often do you scan multi-page documents? Most people: never. Do home offices need Ethernet when WiFi works perfectly? No. The 720 is genius because it gives you exactly what matters!
At ₹21,699 with ₹4,847 discount (18% off), the 720 delivers exceptional value for the right user. The sweet spot is 500-2000 pages monthly printing – enough volume to justify auto duplex and speed, but not enough to need ADF for daily stack scanning.

However, know your usage: If you print under 500 pages/month, save ₹7,700 and buy 584 – the auto duplex premium isn’t justified. If you scan multi-page documents daily or need Ethernet, pay ₹3,547 more for 750’s ADF. But for the vast majority of users in the 500-2000 page monthly range who want professional features without office bloat, the 720 is the absolute BEST value in the Smart Tank lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
❓ What makes HP Smart Tank 720 the “sweet spot”?
The 720 gives you ALL the important premium features (auto duplex, 23 ppm speed, 250-sheet tray, dual-band WiFi, 5000/month duty) while skipping rarely-used extras (ADF scanner, Ethernet port). You save ₹3,547 vs 750 by not paying for features 90% of users never use. It’s the perfect balance: premium performance without premium bloat!
❓ Is the ₹7,700 premium over 584 worth it?
YES if you print 500+ pages/month! You get: 1) Auto duplex saving ₹300/month in paper (ROI in 26 months), 2) DOUBLE the speed (23 vs 12 ppm) saving 48% print time, 3) Dual-band WiFi with 5G, 4) 2.5× paper capacity, 5) 2× included ink (12K vs 6K). For 500-2000 pages/month users, these features justify the premium. Under 500 pages/month? Stick with 584.
❓ Why doesn’t 720 have ADF like 750?
To save you ₹3,547! The 35-sheet ADF in 750 is useful ONLY if you scan multi-page documents daily (contracts, invoices, forms). Most home/small office users scan occasionally – flatbed works fine for 1-2 pages. The 720 skips ADF to offer auto duplex + 23ppm speed at ₹21,699 instead of ₹25,246. Smart optimization for 90% of users!
❓ Do I really need auto duplex or is manual OK?
If you print 2-sided documents regularly, auto duplex is LIFE-CHANGING! Manual duplex (584) = print → wait → flip pages → reinsert → pray you didn’t flip wrong way → repeat. For 50-page report, this takes 10+ minutes of tedious work. Auto duplex (720) = press print → walk away → come back to finished 2-sided doc in 2 minutes. Plus 50% paper savings (₹300/month for 1000 pages). Totally worth it for regular 2-sided printing!
❓ Can 720 handle small business use?
Yes! The 720 has office-grade specs: 5000 pages/month duty cycle (same as 750), 23 ppm speed, 250-sheet tray, dual-band WiFi, auto duplex. Perfect for 2-3 person offices printing 500-2000 pages/month. What it lacks vs 750 is ADF (scan one page at a time) and Ethernet (WiFi works fine). If your business doesn’t scan stacks daily, 720 is perfect and saves ₹3,547!
❓ Is 23 ppm speed really that much better than 12 ppm?
HUGE difference! 100 pages: 584 takes 8 min 20 sec, 720 takes 4 min 20 sec – you save 4 minutes per job (48% faster!). For users printing 10 jobs weekly (1000 pages/month), that’s 40 minutes saved per week = 2.6 hours/month = 31 hours/year. Speed isn’t luxury – it’s productivity. The 720’s 23 ppm matches the premium 750, making it flagship speed at mid-tier price!
❓ What’s the difference between 720 and 750?
ONLY 2 differences: 750 has 35-sheet ADF (720 doesn’t) and Ethernet port (720 doesn’t). Everything else is IDENTICAL – same 23 ppm speed, same auto duplex, same dual-band WiFi, same 250-sheet tray, same 5000/month duty, same quality. 750 costs ₹3,547 more. Buy 750 ONLY if you scan multi-page docs daily or need Ethernet. For 90% of users, 720 is smarter choice!
❓ Does it include 12,000 black pages like 750?
YES! The 720 includes 2× GT53XL (135ml) black bottles = 12,000 black pages total (same as 750/581). Plus 1× GT52 color set (70ml each) = 8,000 pages per color. Out of box: 12K black + 8K cyan + 8K magenta + 8K yellow. That’s 2× the black ink vs 584 (6K pages). Great value – enough for 1-2 years of typical home office printing!
❓ Is WiFi sufficient or do I need Ethernet like 750?
WiFi is sufficient for 99% of home/small office users! The 720’s dual-band WiFi (2.4G + 5G) is fast, reliable, and modern. Ethernet (in 750) is useful for: 1) Large offices with existing wired networks, 2) Mission-critical printing where WiFi dropouts are unacceptable, 3) WiFi-congested environments. For home offices and small businesses, WiFi works perfectly – no need to pay ₹3,547 extra for Ethernet!
❓ Can I use 720 for printing photos?
Yes! The 720 has excellent photo quality: 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi color, supports 4×6 photo paper up to 250 g/m², prints borderless photos. Same print engine as 584/750 – identical quality. However, color speed is 9 ppm (ISO) or 22 ppm (draft). For occasional family photos, it’s great. For professional photo studio, consider dedicated photo printer. But for home office + occasional photos, 720 is perfect!
❓ How much paper does auto duplex actually save?
Exactly 50% on 2-sided documents! If you print 1000 pages/month all 2-sided: Without duplex = 1000 sheets (₹600), With auto duplex = 500 sheets (₹300). You save ₹300/month = ₹3,600/year in paper costs alone! The ₹7,700 premium over 584 pays for itself in 26 months through paper savings alone, not counting time saved and convenience. For regular 2-sided printing, auto duplex is gold!
❓ What’s dual-band WiFi and why does it matter?
Dual-band = 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz WiFi support. 2.4 GHz: long range, penetrates walls, but crowded (microwaves, Bluetooth, neighbors). 5 GHz: shorter range, but MUCH faster (150 Mbps vs 72 Mbps) and cleaner (less interference). The 720’s dual-band (like 750) lets you choose best band. In crowded apartments/offices, 5G is game-changer for reliable printing. 584 only has 2.4G – can struggle in busy WiFi environments!
❓ Is print quality same as 584 and 750?
100% IDENTICAL print quality across 584/720/750! All use same print engine: 1200 x 1200 dpi black, 4800 x 1200 dpi color, same GT52/GT53 ink bottles, same printheads, same ₹0.10/page cost. The differences are SPEED (720/750: 23 ppm vs 584: 12 ppm), FEATURES (auto duplex, ADF), and CONNECTIVITY. Print quality? Exactly the same. You get flagship quality at all price points!
❓ Can I upgrade to ADF later if needed?
No – ADF is built into printer hardware, not an add-on accessory. If you think you’ll need ADF for scanning multi-page documents daily, buy 750 upfront (₹25,246). Don’t buy 720 hoping to add ADF later. But honestly, most people THINK they need ADF and never use it. How often do you scan 10+ page documents? If answer is “rarely” or “never”, save ₹3,547 with 720!
❓ What warranty does it come with?
1 year OR 30,000 pages limited hardware warranty, whichever comes first (same as 584). This is 40% lower page coverage than 750 (50,000 pages), reflecting home/small office positioning vs full office use. Covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures. FREE installation included. Extended HP Care Packs available separately. 24/7 support through HP India service network!
❓ Is HP Smart Tank 720 worth ₹21,699?
Absolutely YES for 500-2000 pages/month users! At ₹21,699, you get premium features (auto duplex, 23 ppm speed, 250-sheet tray, dual-band WiFi, 12K included ink) without paying for rarely-used extras (ADF, Ethernet). It’s the PERFECT sweet spot. For under 500 pages/month, save ₹7,700 with 584. For daily multi-page scanning, pay ₹3,547 more for 750. But for the vast majority in the middle, 720 is the smartest choice in the entire Smart Tank lineup!
