The HP Envy Pro 6455 makes its presence known, but not to the noisy degree of a laser printer or some of the massive units we tested. That falls behind duplex units like the Brother and Canon all-in-one, which can start a job in less than 10 seconds, but is on par with other units at this price. On average, it takes about 15 seconds after you hit print for the first page to shoot out, and we could easily crank through 20 pages double-sided in just under three minutes. Most importantly, though, it succeeds with printing text-heavy documents, large keynotes and even the occasional one or two photo prints. It’s also an absolute champ at printing and was one of the easiest to set up of all we tested. HP’s Envy Pro 6455 features a compact build that can fit into the smallest workspace, even though it is a multifunction device with the ability to print, copy and scan. Meanwhile, the higher-priced units offered more capacity and faster prints, but nothing that was extraordinary enough to justify their price for the average user.Īfter countless hours of print, scan and copy testing we wound up with a modest-sized, sub-$200 printer that delivered a formidable experience. Lower-cost units often had more clunky builds and didn’t deliver satisfactory performance with printing. Our testing pool included several units at the top of the budget scale ($300-plus) and bottom (less than $100), but we found that units at either end failed to deliver an incredible experience across the board. A single family printer will need to tackle essays and emails, but also extend to visually heavy documents and photos of family memories. If you’re paying more than $100, your printer should be able to do a little more than just print out a single sheet, especially now that we’re doing so much more from home. We spent months with a bevy of printers from leading brands like Brother, Canon, Epson and HP. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
