Product: Smart Tank 570 Plus
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The level of ink shown on the HP Smart App and the real ink level of the tank is showing discrepancy. 

Why is that so?

@phNW1, Welcome to HP Support Community!
 

Ink or toner levels shown in the HP printer software are estimates calculated from usage. These estimates become less accurate under the following conditions.

  • You are not using genuine HP ink or toner.

  • A remanufactured, refilled, or used cartridge is installed.

  • The printer uses ink tanks instead of cartridges.

  • The printer has undergone a full hardware reset.

Refer to the document HP Printers - How to Check Ink or Toner Levels for more information.

I hope that answers your concern adequately. Let me know!
