The Nelko thermal printer is specifically designed to print labels for packages - though it does print other labels, too - and if, like me, you have an Etsy or Shopify store, it can be invaluable. I love a tool that is for one purpose, and it does that purpose almost perfectly. And because it's an ink tank system, the ink should last at least a year. Overall the 5101 is a good choice if you want excellent color re-creation at a reasonable price. The lack of a scanner feeder on the top also slows you down, forcing you to scan each document a single page at a time. It also limits the amount of paper it can store to just a few sheets, making it less than ideal for a larger workload. It makes the printer deeper than a standard shelf, limiting where you can put it. My big bugbear with the 5101 is the rear-loading paper tray. There was a little grain in the image, but nothing that better paper couldn't fix. The colors were vivid, and there was no sign of chromatic abrasion. The image test was good too, though not as good as that of the more expensive Smart Tank 7301. In all our tests, it did very well, especially the website printing test, where all the graphics were as crisp and clear as the text. HP's latest Smart Tank is a midlevel all-in-one with some really nice features and a few that are missing.
