The HP ENVY 6065e is a basic all-in-one inkjet printer. It's effectively the same printer as the HP ENVY 6055e, but it's mainly available at Best Buy retailers, often at a discounted price, and features blue instead of gray trim accents. It uses a two-cartridge system with one black and one tri-color cartridge and is compatible with HP 67 and 67XL ink cartridges. It supports USB and Wi-Fi connectivity as well as Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, and it works with HP's Smart mobile companion app. It has a basic flatbed scanner with no automatic feeder, or extendable lid hinges for accommodating larger documents or books.
Our Verdict
The HP ENVY 6065e is a mediocre option for family use. While color documents look decent, the print quality for black-only prints is unimpressive, and photos look flat and dim due to the limited color gamut and poor accuracy. Its page yield is also limited, so you'll be swapping out cartridges often, resulting in high ownership costs. Its scan quality is also far from class-leading, with poor detail retention. On the upside, it has a decent array of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi, USB, and support for Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, making it easy for any family member to quickly access the printer.
- Companion app is feature dense.
- Decent color document print quality.
- Wide variety of connectivity options.
- Default cartridges have a limited page yield.
- Mediocre scan quality.
- Narrow color gamut and poor color accuracy.
The HP ENVY 6065e is sub-par for small or home offices. Its print quality for black-only documents is poor, and printing speed isn't all that fast, though it isn't out of the norm as far as inkjet printers go. Additionally, its ink cartridges have a low yield, resulting in high ownership costs since you'll often replace them. It only has a flatbed scanner, so scanning multi-page documents can be very time-consuming, and overall scan quality is poor. Its single input tray also only has a capacity of 100 pages, which isn't sufficient for frequent high-volume printing.
- Companion app is feature dense.
- Decent color document print quality.
- Default cartridges have a limited page yield.
- Middling monochrome print quality.
- Mediocre scan quality.
- Slow print speed.
- Low-capacity single input tray.
The HP ENVY 6065e is a passable choice for students. Print speed is unimpressive, and the documents it outputs aren't all that sharp. It also uses cartridges with a low yield, so you'll be replacing them often. It has a flatbed scanner, but the scan quality is disappointing. The scanner hinges don't extend, so it can't accommodate thicker items like textbooks. On the bright side, it supports Wi-Fi and USB connectivity, as well as support for Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, so it's easy to connect and get your prints out from your phone, laptop, or computer.
- Companion app is feature dense.
- Decent color document print quality.
- Wide variety of connectivity options.
- Default cartridges have a limited page yield.
- Middling monochrome print quality.
- Mediocre scan quality.
- Slow print speed.
The HP ENVY 6065e is disappointing for printing black-and-white documents. Printed monochrome documents are lacking in detail and rather grainy. It uses ink cartridges with a low yield, so you'll have to replace them regularly, resulting in high maintenance costs. It also prints slowly at nine pages per minute. It has a scanner but lacks an automatic document feeder, which isn't ideal if you often need to scan long multi-page documents.
- Companion app is feature dense.
- Default cartridges have a limited page yield.
- Middling monochrome print quality.
- Slow print speed.
- Low-capacity single input tray.
The HP ENVY 6065e is an alright choice for photo printing, with a few important caveats. It can print on glossy photo paper, on a wide variety of paper sizes, and supports borderless printing. It does a great job of reproducing fine details in photos but has a limited color gamut and poor color accuracy, resulting in flat and dim images. Its ink cartridges have a low yield, so you'll swap them out often if you print regularly.
- Supports printing on a wide variety of paper sizes.
- Faithfully reproduces fine details in photos.
- Default cartridges have a limited page yield.
- Narrow color gamut and poor color accuracy.

Popular Printer Comparisons
The HP ENVY 6065e is a basic inkjet printer. It doesn't do much to distinguish itself from other similarly-designed models in its price range, with its limited page yield, mediocre document printing quality, and a rudimentary flatbed scanner.

The Canon PIXMA MG3620 is a better inkjet printer than the HP ENVY 6065e. The Canon has fewer maintenance requirements, a height-adjustable scanner lid, and offers superior print and scan quality. It also has a wider color gamut and does a better job of accurately reproducing colors. On the other hand, the HP has Wi-Fi direct connectivity, feels better built, and has a more feature-rich app.
The HP ENVY 6055e and HP ENVY 6065e are effectively the same printer. The 6065e is a Best Buy-exclusive model that can be frequently found on sale for a lower price than the 6055e. That said, it does exhibit slightly worse scan quality and black-and-white printing quality when compared to the 6055e.
The HP ENVY 6455e and HP ENVY 6065e are ultimately very similar printers, which isn't surprising considering they're part of the same product lineup. The 6455e is almost identical to the 6065e except for having an ADF for its scanner, enabling it to process multi-page documents a little faster. On the other hand, the 6065e does have a considerably higher max print resolution, so it's a slightly better fit for photo printing. However, you'll still have to contend with its limited color gamut and poor color accuracy.
The HP ENVY 6065e is better than the HP DeskJet 4155e. The 6065e feels better built and supports automatic dual-sided printing and borderless printing. However, the 4155 does have a scanner with an ADF, making it a better fit for scanning long multi-page documents, though it's worth noting that the ADF tray can only hold 35 pages.
