HP Envy vs HP DeskJet

Both are home inkjet ranges from HP — here's how they differ in features, output, and intended user.

DeskJet: simple, compact, everyday

DeskJet covers the entry-level home market. The focus is small footprint, low purchase price, and the basics done reliably. Print, scan, copy, Wi-Fi.

Envy: tuned for photos and creatives

Envy steps up colour reproduction with a wider ink set on many models, adds a touchscreen on most, and improves photo handling. It's the better pick if you'll print a mix of documents and photos.

Picking between them

If you almost never print photos, DeskJet does the basics for less. If you print photos or want better colour output, Envy is the more satisfying choice.
