HP Envy 6120e All in One Printer | Perfect for Home | Colour | Wireless | Print, Scan & Copy | 3 Months of Instant Ink Included | Automatic 2-sided Photo Printing | Easy Setup & Reliable Wi-Fi | White

I bought this printer to replace my Canon Pixma and I'm very happy with it. It doesn't take up much space and looks good too.The setup was easy. I was sceptical about this having read the reviews but I had no issues whatsoever. You just follow the step by step guide in the HP Smart app. It asks you to press a couple of buttons during the process and conveniently these flash for you to indicate which button to press.The power cord is a little bit on the short side. It measures 140 cms from plug to connector, not allowing for any flex. Depending upon where your plug is located you may need to buy a slightly longer one.The print quality is great and the scan/copy function works very well and is really useful. It's far better than my old printer. This was 5 years old though, so I suspect technology has improved in that time.Printing/scanning from my phone works a treat and is handy. It seems to have a fair few other features as well that I'm unlikely to use, so can't really comment on these.It is possible to use non-HP cartridges - I think. If you wish to do this you mustn't enable HP+ during the app setup. When you accept this free service a code is sent to the printer which locks it to genuine HP cartridges only. You don't have to opt into this though if you don't want to. I think by not agreeing to this you will lose some/all of the smart functionality, which kind of defeats the object.Genuine HP cartridges are circa £18 for a twin pack which is cheaper than I previously paid.I opted to sign up for the instant ink service as I thought it was reasonable at circa £5 per month. They take away the hassle of ever running out of ink and it covers shipping/recycling too. You get 3 months free out of the box and if you use the code 'nfhzgw' during setup you get another month free.You can also cancel the instant ink service at anytime or change the plan, which is good. I'm going to give it a try given it's free for 4 months and decide whether to stick with, or not, then.Overall it's a great little printer that does everything you'd expect. Very pleased with the purchase.Update: After a couple of months use it's still working great, no issues whatsoever with connectivity and print quality. The ink has been delivered in a timely fashion too.Within the HP Smart App there is a section called 'Printables' which is really useful. Maybe not to all but certainly to some. You can download templates for Wall Planners, Calendars, Kids activities, Cards, Crafts etc. All free. You just pick the template you want and then tap print from your phone.The photocopy option is also proving to be very useful and is a great feature.

Easy to set up, you can use Apple air print and it prints double sided automatically.Looks good and only 2 cartridges to replace

I have had this printer since early January 2022, so exactly one year now. I used the Instant Ink programme and got 8 months free. The print quality of the pages is average, never as good as it looks in the pictures, even with a new printer, new ink cartridges etc. However, I think this is the same for all similarly priced printers.The printer set up was fairly straight forward and also did this via my Android phone as well as via my laptop. Your device has to be very close to the printer when you want to print, very close indeed! Otherwise, the signal does not pick up at all and the printer won't pick up the device, don't know why it was made this way, so this is a negative.Anyway, having enrolled in the Instant Ink programme, I received 2 'large' inks straight away and as I only seldom used the printer, during the course of the 8 month trial, did not use the ink much. I only ever received these cartridges and you do only receive new ones if you use it up but you will only have limited pages you can print per month before you start to get charged if you go over your allowance.So when it came to the end of the programme, by my cancelling, I ensured this was one month before the scheduled billing date, to ensure I was not to be charged. However, this wasn't the case (please read on..).During the course of the trial, the price of the pages also increased as I was on a £1.99 package and all of a sudden (after a few months) I noticed it said £2.99. I do not recall receiving any notification.BEWARE!The ink that you receive with the printer will also stop working when you enrol in the programme!Mine must have been in the printer when I enrolled as I took it straight out once I received the 'free' ink cartridges (I had only printed the test pages). My advice is not to place the initial cartridge in the printer at all if you are to enrol in the programme. This way it should still work if you do decide to cancel.The date of the billing cycle also changed as the date in question was approaching, this was altered earlier by 2 days! So when I came to cancel, it has passed this billing date, so my account then said I owed £2.99 after I cancelled! This was very unfair. I did call them to explain and because I barley used the ink, they waivered the fee for me only because I had barley used the printer.However, my advice to you would be to cancel TWO MONTHS prior to allow time although do double check that you will still have use of the ink during this time before cancelling. Otherwise, do make sure you cancel in good time in case the billing date suddenly changes for you too!To be honest for me personally, it wasn't worth it or the hassle I had. It is better to just buy ink from Amazon, or wherever and use it without any aggravation. If you use the printer alot, it may work better for you but please remember, not all printing is free during the trial if you go over your allowance.Overall, the printer does what it says on the tin and is nothing particularly special. I can see the price has decreased by £16 so not bad at all.I hope this review has helped.
