Meet the HP Smart Tank 581 All-In-One Color Printer, built for everyday reliability and cost-effective performance. It delivers the HP quality you expect with savings that are genuinely notable, thanks to a refillable ink tank system that keeps you printing longer between refills.

Print, scan, and copy from a single compact device designed for home offices and small workspaces. The front-access ink tanks simplify refills, helping you stay productive with less downtime and mess.

With a high page yield, you can cover more projects before needing a refill—up to 6,000 pages in black or color ink—so you benefit from fewer cartridge changes and lower running costs over time.

Printer and mobile printing work together seamlessly. Use the HP Smart app to print from your smartphone or tablet, manage tasks, and monitor ink levels from anywhere, making it easy to stay on top of everyday printing needs.
