HP DeskJet 2855e
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Kodak Step is a pocket-sized Bluetooth/NFC printer that creates 2×3-inch sticky-back photos at 1200 dpi in under a minute. Its small format, limited battery life, and occasional color fidelity issues restrict it to casual, on-the-go photo sharing. Best for travelers and scrapbook enthusiasts who value portability over size.
The HP DeskJet 2855e is a compact wireless all-in-one inkjet designed for light home use, offering decent print quality and easy setup via the HP Smart app. Its manual duplex, low duty cycle, and lack of borderless printing limit higher-volume or photo-centric tasks. Ideal for students or occasional home printing.
