REVIEWS

HP Envy 6055 Review:

HP Envy 6055 has support for both wired and wireless connections so that you can print on the go. The printer rates at 6 pages per minute (ppm) for black-only documents and 4 pages per minute (ppm) for color ones. It takes about 69.0s to print photos, which is a decent time to get the job done. The input tray capacity is 100 pages, which is adequate for small volume printing. The printer does not support Bluetooth printing.
