HP ENVY 6055e
Score: 70/100Rankings
The HP ENVY 6055e provides wireless all-in-one inkjet functionality with automatic duplex and borderless photo printing, making it a versatile home printer. It lacks an automatic document feeder and requires both cartridges for any print job, which can be inconvenient. Perfect for families or home offices focused on photo printing and occasional document tasks.
The Kodak Dock is a portable 4×6-inch dye-sub printer with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C connectivity, delivering 300 dpi laminated prints. Its reliance on proprietary cartridges, lack of a built-in battery, and heavier build reduce true mobility. Suited for event photographers and travelers who need high-quality 4×6 prints and phone charging.

Professional reviewers commend the Kodak Dock for its sleek, lightweight form factor and the convenience of docking and charging a phone while printing. They emphasize the quality of the 4PASS dye-sub process, which yields vibrant, laminated 4x6 photos at 300 dpi. Criticisms focus on the reliance on proprietary cartridges, the single 4x6 print size, and the lack of an internal battery, which may limit true on-the-go use.
Everyday users praise the printer's portability, ease of setup, and the instant, high-quality prints it produces directly from smartphones. The included extra photo sheets and retro styling are frequently highlighted as positives, while concerns center on cartridge costs and the absence of a built-in battery.
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.
“very lightweight”
“Easy setup and instant docking/printing from phone”
“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.”
