HP ENVY 6455e
Made me reconsider my long-held…

My first (and last) experience with an inkjet printer was about 10 years ago with a very sturdy-looking multi-function “photo printer” that my family had purchased for school and life. Even at that age, my experiences with that machine were formative in the bias that I’ve had ever since; inkjet printers were just for people who couldn’t or wouldn’t afford the nicer things in life, namely, multicolored laser beasts.
Bearing this in mind, understand that it was not without much apprehension that I willingly decided to forgo all my fancy, dedicated single-function devices to make the HP Envy my ride or die (even if just for a little while).
In short, my experience with this printer has been nothing less than a complete game-changing period of wonder.
This thing is compact, sleek, and light. Besides a faint, electrical squeak coming from the power cord connection that has been more disruptive than the landscapers that start their run promptly at 8am, the construction of the printer has a modern and well-designed quality to it.
While I’m not sure on the standalone ink costs and page price efficiency and all that jazz, my trial of Instant Ink (at the highest use tier) has pretty much let me forget about the concept of having to go ink price hunting, though time will tell when I actually have to start paying for it myself.
The print quality has been more than good enough for any normal use, and should never be a problem for anyone that doesn’t work in industry where you already own a very fancy printer.
Let me take the time to confess my utter disbelief when I realized that double sided printing , which had always been, in my mind, some thing you could only get from a pricey “fancier printer”, was not only possible, but seamless and effective from even your most modest printers. Add on the fact that it has a document feeder (who cares if it’s slow) and suddenly this $200 inkjet was straight flexing on the runway. in summation, my experience with this printer has forever shifted my view on the state and affordability of today’s technology. While I typically would have advised small business owners to spring for the laser all-in-ones, the sheer relative affordability of a device like this one, which ends up performing at a degree that is indistinguishable to a typical user, changes everything.
I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.
