The HP ENVY 5014 is a disappointing printer, very similar to the HP ENVY 5055. It has excellent color accuracy and it prints photos with decent overall quality, as colors are vibrant. Sadly, it has a really low page yield, whether it's printing color or black and white pages, so you need to regularly buy new cartridges if you print often. Luckily, the cartridges are cheap and you can buy high-yield cartridges too. Unfortunately, it's not a well-built printer and it doesn't have a sheetfed scanner, so if you need to scan long, double-sided documents, it's going to take some time. It's also sold as the HP ENVY 5012 printer at some retailers.
