Setting up the OfficeJet Pro 8720 was a breeze-perhaps the most straight-forward set-up process we’ve seen for a printer. Lifewire / Will Fulton Setup Process: Easiest setup around An optional, second paper tray (not included) can be installed, though it essentially serves as a base onto which the whole printer is installed, increasing the overall height by another 3.5 inches or so. While this is an otherwise excellent all-in-one for home use, it does demand a fair amount of desk real estate, which could be an issue for home offices where space is a premium. The desktop footprint is a commanding 19.7 by 17.7 by 13.4 inches (HWD), ballooning out slightly more above the base. One unfortunate trade-off of these design choices is that the Pro 8270 is quite large. It’s a small change that you’ll find on more expensive printers, but it’s absolutely refreshing to see on a home printer. Not to mention that they tend to get jammed when being extended and collapsed. Our favorite practical design choice is that printed documents are expelled back towards the printer instead of the standard extendable trays that often quickly spill documents to the ground. It compromises the entire user interface aside from the Home, Help, and Return buttons which are directly adjacent to it for easy navigation. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen is bright, very responsive, and easy to use. It supports printing on envelopes and paper up to legal size, though as shipped it only has a single feed, so you will need to swap out and adjust every time you switch between media types. The paper tray opens from the front and adjusts for alternate stock sizes very easily and intuitively. In terms of functional design, the OfficeJet Pro 8720 is similarly refined. The matte, off-white body with a slate-grey accent is clean, elegant, and generally resistant to smudges from regular handling. There are smooth, slight angles replacing 90-degree transitions, giving it the nuanced form-factor more reminiscent of a modern car than conventional office equipment. This all-in-one has a friendly aesthetic, with soft, beveled edges.
