#FreshTech: HP's reimagined DeskJet 3720

Recently named one of TIME Magazine’s 50 Most Influential Gadgets of All Time, this redesigned DeskJet comes in a variety of colour hues including Electric Blue and Sea Grass Green as well as a polished Stone option. Additional colours are expected to be available in time for Christmas.

HP says that setting up and printing directly from a mobile device is now simpler, with OS solutions and the HP All-in-One Remote mobile application. The free app provides users with features that include printing, copying and scanning wirelessly from most smartphones and tablets including Apple, Android and Windows devices. Using Wi-Fi Direct, consumers can print from their mobile devices and access their printer without a network.

Consumers can print, share and design custom photos from Facebook, Instagram and Flickr or directly from a phone’s camera roll with the free HP Social Media Snapshots application. HP also offers 4x5 sticky photo paper tailored for the Social Media Snapshots app and useful for decorating a bedroom, locker or sharing with family and friends. Using HP Printbot, Facebook Messenger users can print content from a Facebook Messenger conversation. In addition, the bot allows users to add printers, print from the printer's history and order replacement supplies.

The new, colourful DeskJet 3720 will be available in September at selected retailers; RRP is still to be confirmed.
