Professional reviewers consider the HP ENVY 6055e a solid, user-friendly home printer that excels in wireless convenience, borderless photo quality, and compact design, but they note its lack of an automatic document feeder, fax, and secure print functions limits its appeal for small-business or high-volume users.
Everyday users generally praise the printer's easy wireless setup, compact footprint, and ability to produce borderless photos, while common complaints focus on the slow duplex process, the need for both cartridges even for monochrome jobs, and the absence of an automatic document feeder for batch tasks.
Professional reviewers commend the G3270 for its vivid pigment-based colors, fast document throughput, and easy wireless setup, while noting that the lack of automatic duplex and an ADF makes it less suited for high-volume office work.
Everyday users generally praise the low operating cost, straightforward wireless connectivity, and compact design, but repeatedly mention the inconvenience of manual duplex and the limited paper capacity when handling larger photo or document batches.
“The automatic duplex printing, while convenient, is a multi-step process where the paper must be pulled back into the printer to print the reverse side, which some users may find slow.”
