Even draft-setting documents, which issue forth considerably faster, are more than legible. Text is sharp and dark at default settings, and nearly laser-like at best settings. Monochrome graphics lacked a distracting green or purple tinge. Photos, printed using a high-quality setting, feature an elegantly cool color palette and excellent detail in even dark areas. The Photosmart 7520’s output quality is among the best we’ve seen from an inkjet. Scanning and copying speeds are a tad faster than average compared with other inkjet MFPs we’ve tested. A letter-size, high-resolution photo printed on the Mac to glossy paper took about 2.5 minutes (a middling rate of 0.4 ppm). The same photo on letter-size photo paper took 62 seconds (0.98 ppm). A 4-by-6-inch photo printed at default settings on plain (letter-size) paper took about 16 seconds (or 3.75 ppm). We chose a higher-quality setting for printing color photos, producing slower times but better output quality (see below). Monochrome pages of text and text with graphics emerged at 9.5 pages per minute (ppm) on the PC and 9 ppm on the Mac. The unit achieved average to better speeds in our tests. The Photosmart can print and scan in duplex (both sides of the page), but duplex scanning requires two passes. However, the lid for the A4 flatbed scanner doesn’t telescope to accommodate thicker materials. There’s also a 25-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for the scanner. The main paper tray holds 125 sheets, and integrated into its top is a secondary photo tray that holds up to 20 sheets of photo paper (5-by-7-inch maximum). While the Photosmart 7520 is photo-centric, its paper-handling features extend well beyond that.
