HP DeskJet 4155e
Score: 72/100Rankings
The HP DeskJet 4155e is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer offering wireless printing and a 35-sheet ADF, making it convenient for home use. It lacks automatic duplex and borderless printing, which can limit efficiency for two-sided jobs. Ideal for families or students needing occasional color prints and multi-page scanning.
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.
