Our Verdict
HP OfficeJet 5255
HP ENVY Photo 6255
The HP OfficeJet 5255 is a better overall printer than the HP ENVY Photo 6255. The OfficeJet has great color accuracy when printing photos, but the cost per print is quite high. It also has great connectivity options and a small footprint, meaning it can be a good option for home and family use.
