hp envy100 e All in One


Today’s home printers are multitasking machines, packed with features that let us wirelessly share content; produce lab-quality photos; and even dock and charge other devices, in addition to cranking out the expected homework pages and work presentations.

Getting all these features, of course, can eat into a family’s budget so while we considered plenty of world-class, $1000-and-up laser printers, we ultimately settled on the old family standby the mid-priced color inkjet.

Easy to use and equip, the inkjet comes in hundreds of variations that fit every category a family could ever want. Here, we give you the eight best.

Like the HP Photo smart station featured in a different place in this guide, the HP Envy 100 e-All-in-One comes with its own email address that allows you to print virtually anything from virtually anywhere you find yourself taking photos or grabbing printable content. The Envy 100’s real appeal, however, is aesthetic.

Though my family cranked out dozens of high-quality (4800x1200 resolution) color snapshots during our time with the printer, we were just as wowed by the Envy’s petite frame and urbane looks. You won’t print an excess of school projects or PTA handouts on the Envy 100, due to a modest paper tray that handles just 80 sheets at a time; but for small jobs that call for more than basic inkjet paper, the printer also handles labels, cardstock, iron-on transfers and envelopes.

It’s also unique for being the world’s first PVC-free printer, and like the Photos marteStation, it also ships in a reusable bag that further helps to curb your environmental impact.
