HP DeskJet
HP DeskJet printers are designed for home use. If you occasionally print a boarding pass or movie ticket but don't have space for a large printer, a DeskJet is a good choice. You can print, scan, and copy with these all-in-one models. Do you quickly want to copy or scan? Choose the DeskJet with automatic document feeder. With an HP DeskJet, you do print slower than with the other HP printers and you can't automatically print in duplex. This means you don't save paper.
HP ENVY
The HP ENVY printers are also made for home use, but they often have more options than DeskJets. An ENVY printer automatically prints in duplex, so you save paper. There are also models with or without automatic document feeder for the HP ENVY. You can control the printer with the buttons on it. This printer doesn't have a separate photo tray. Do you want to print a lot of photos? Choose an HP ENVY Inspire printer.

HP Smart Tank

HP OfficeJet (Pro)
The OfficeJet printers are intended for the office or your home office. An OfficeJet is an inkjet printer with an average print speed of 15 pages per minute, so it's especially suitable for a department with up to 3 people.

HP LaserJet (Pro)
An HP LaserJet prints with toner cartridges. These are more affordable than regular cartridges and you don't have to replace them as often. This makes a LaserJet very suitable for places where printing is very common, such as a medium-sized office or a school. These printers have a high print speed, so you can print continuously. HP LaserJet printers have more security options, so your network at the office stays safe while printing. Do you want to print in color? Choose the Color LaserJet.
