Our Verdict
HP ENVY Photo 6255
HP ENVY Inspire 7255e
The HP ENVY Inspire 7255e is an updated version of the HP ENVY Photo 6255, though they look very different. Overall, the 7255e is better for photos. Its printed pictures look much more detailed and contain less banding. Also, its input tray holds slightly more pages, meaning you won't need to refill it as often, but otherwise, their page yields are very similar.
