Our Verdict
HP ENVY Photo 7855
Canon PIXMA TR8520
The Canon PIXMA TR8520 is much better than the HP ENVY Photo 7855 for most uses. The Canon feels better built, and it has four color cartridges instead of just one like the HP, meaning you can just replace the color that runs out. Also, even though the Canon's cartridges are more expensive, the cost-per-print is lower since the cartridges yield a lot more pages. The Canon produces higher-quality color documents and photos with a wider range of colors and better accuracy. However, the HP prints faster and has a larger input tray, so you don't need to refill the tray as often.
