Expert review by : Simon Williams (trustedreviews.com)
From being HP's premium marque, the Envy series moves to the entry level with this high-value, low-cost all-in-one, geared particularly to mobile print.
XL cartridges available ; Excellent draft print ; Low purchase price
Tri-colour cartridge can lead to wastage ; Photo image position problem ; High page costs
At the back is a single USB socket, but most people will connect via wireless, as this gives access to Wireless Direct print from mobile devices, including both Android and iOS via AirPrint. You can also download HP’s Printable pages, most of which are...

The HP Envy 4500 is an affordable all-in-one wi-fi printer that can scan and copy, as well as print. For an inkjet it print text documents quickly. But what's the print quality like? How easy is it to use and how much are the ink costs? Read our full...

suppose it had to happen sooner rather than later. With mobile devices, namely smartphones and tablets, being our constant companions giving us access to data and then storing what is important to us, you would expect companies to develop printers...
Let me clarify one important point first of all. The HP ENVY 4500 is a fairly standard All-in-One (AiO) device pure and simple. It combines print, scan and copy facilities along with a choice of USB or Wireless connectivity. In common with numerous...
Expert review by : Macworld UK (macworld.co.uk)
Previous versions of HP's Envy printers have been impressively designed, but were expensive both in terms of their initial purchase price and also in the cost of buying replacement ink cartridges.
initial purchase price is very competitive, includes wifi and AirPrint for iOS devices
modest print speeds, high cost for mono printing

Expert review by : Ted Needleman (digitaltrends.com)
The HP Envy 4500 is a highly capable multifunction photo printer for the home that's low in price. But, if you print color documents and photos often, you could end up spending more on expensive paper and ink.
The Envy 4500 has missing features and limitations that would have made it a well-rounded photo MFP, but given that it can be found for less than the retail price, it’s unreasonable to expect it to offer the same degree of functionality as a more...

Buying a cheap printer such as the HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One is, for some people, a spur-of-the-moment decision these days, but it still helps to know what you're getting into when buying a sub-$100 printer. The main selling point of this model (apar...
