So, I have already picked out three HP printers and they vary in prices ,all of them look good on paper but they might not meet my budget/requirements expectations . I want a all-in-one printer with copy,scan and both colour/black printing capabilities . Scanning documents and printing accurate colour prints are my top priorities.

Budget:-5-10 K.

Printers that I have already shortlisted:-

1]HP Deskjet 3835- https://www.flipkart.com/hp-deskjet...-function-wireless-printer/p/itmeehxajurnrmt6 .

2]HP Deskjet 4535 - https://www.amazon.in/HP-DeskJet-4535-Wireless-Printer/dp/B01BMKK0YW .[Flipkart has already sold out this printer ,although amazon still has stocks ,it is expensive when compared to flipkart's ].

3]HP Deskjet 4729- https://www.amazon.in/HP-DeskJet-Advantage-4729-Printer/dp/B0199UJBDS .[This product on amazon is cheaper when compared to the one listed on flipkart].

So, which one offers the best bang for money for a moderate home user like me[considering cartridge and other maintenance costs,etc].

If anyone can get me a better offer for this printers on other websites or a coupon code and other such things , you are more than welcome to give your suggestions. But,bear in mind I will not buy a second-hand printer, everything has to be brand new out of the box.

Is this for DTP type heavy use or home use?

These all in one printers are not worth it. For heavy usage, you need to buy separate usb scanner and if printing commercial level type colour prints then you need that type of investment. Don't expect 5-10k printers to give out quality colour prints. All of these deskjest have one very big disadvantage - they run on cartridges with tiny tanks. If any one colour runs out, your machine will come to a stop or print in greyscale. You won't even be able to scan till you change colour cartridge which cost 900+ now.
 
My honest feedback is stay away from inkjet printers. The cartridges dry up unless the printing is regular and the only option is to get new ones.. that's been my biggest grouse with the HP AIO printer I have. A LaserJet from the SOHO range from HP or Canon should do better I feel
 
Decided to go with 4729,excellent build,nice printing quality till now[got 2*2 colour/Black cartridges],somehow the scan quality does not feel as 'real to life' and 'true to detail' as my earlier HP printer.Will contact the HP support regarding that, but for Rs.7999, I 'am fairly happy with what I got.
