HP DeskJet
HP DeskJets 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. These compact printers can scan and copy in addition to printing. You don't need an additional device for this.
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. You can control the printer with the buttons on it. The printer is less suitable for printing photos. Do you want to print a lot of photos? Choose an HP ENVY Inspire printer.
HP ENVY Inspire
The HP ENVY Inspire printers are the successors of the HP ENVY printers. With a print speed of 15 pages per minute, the ENVY Inspire is a bit faster than the ENVY. You can print, scan, and copy with these all-in-one devices. You can control the printers via the built-in touchscreen. With an HP ENVY Inspire, your photos are sharp and colorful when you print them. The printer has a separate photo tray with space for 15 sheets of photo paper. This means you don't have to switch your paper when you print a photo.
HP Smart Tank
With the HP Smart Tank, you can print a lot and cost-effective. This printer doesn't work with cartridges, but with ink bottles. With these ink bottles, you can fill the ink tank of the printer.

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 in 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 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.
