Pros Fast printing, bright colors for images, great text quality, all in one capabilitiesGreat text, intuitive interface, fast print speedsSturdy, well-built, awesome interface, strong all-around performanceMultiple connectivity options, straightforward interface, acceptable performance across all metricsGood photo quality, lots of connectivity options, compact design
Cons Touchscreen hard to navigate, bulky, unintuitive interfaceExpensive, large, only okay graphic printingProprietary ink onlyLarge footprint, only one paper tray, requires HP inkConfusing user interface, high long-term operating costs
Bottom Line Great for an office that is looking for an all-in-one, produces high quality text and images but wouldn't use this printer for printing photosThis multi-function printer offers a great balance of quality and versatility for any home officeA strong all-around printer where photo and graphic printing, cost efficiency, user interface, and print speed all score wellA happy medium of low operating cost with quality document performance makes this printer a good pick for home office useA compact pick that is good for occasional home use, although we didn't find it the easiest to use
