HP DeskJet 4255e
Score: 66/100Rankings
The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is a feature-rich all-in-one inkjet offering fast, high-resolution printing, versatile paper handling, and multiple connectivity options, making it well-suited for home and small-office environments. Its limitations include a modest duty cycle and a relatively heavy chassis, which may deter high-volume or highly mobile users. Ideal for users who value photo quality and multifunction capabilities over sheer throughput.
The HP DeskJet 4255e is a compact wireless all-in-one inkjet aimed at home users, offering AI-enabled workflow and a 35-sheet ADF. Its main trade-offs are manual duplex only, no borderless printing, and a modest duty cycle. Best suited for light-volume households that need occasional color prints and multi-page scanning.

Professional reviewers consider the TR8620a a near-identical update to the TR8620, praising its reliable hybrid ink system, fast photo output, and comprehensive connectivity while noting its limited duty cycle and lack of high-volume laser speed.
Everyday users commend the easy-to-use 4.3″ touchscreen, Alexa integration, and ability to print on thick photo media, while occasional complaints focus on the heavy packaging and the higher per-page ink cost typical of inkjet printers.
