The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e is the replacement model of the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025. It has a low cost-per-print and comes with a six-month free ink subscription through HP Instant Ink. It's a well-built printer that produces decent-looking photos with good color accuracy. Unfortunately, it has a very low page yield, and it can't automatically scan double-sided documents.
While we tested the 8025e, there's also a variant called the HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e that's nearly identical, except that it offers 12 months of ink subscription, and it's available in three different colors. We expect our test results to apply to both models.

It has a very low cost-per-print for both black and color documents, and it's compatible with a decent mobile app. Also, it features a flatbed scanner and a sheetfed scanner, but unfortunately, it can't print directly off a USB thumb drive.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e is okay for black and white printing. It feels well-built and provides easy access to paper jams. Unfortunately, it prints black documents disappointingly slow, and it can't perform double-sided scans. While it has a low cost-per-print, the black page yield is very low, so you may need to replace the cartridges often if you print a lot. On the bright side, there are high-yield versions of the cartridges available.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e is good for casual photos thanks to its very low cost-per-print for photo printing. It's a well-built printer that produces decent-quality pictures with good color accuracy, but there's banding and graininess present in the images. Unfortunately, it can't print 2" by 3" photos.

Test Results
It has a sturdy plastic body and a good cartridge bay lid dampener that prevents the lid from slamming down. Its power cord is detachable, so it's easy to replace it if ever it gets damaged. Also, it provides easy access to paper jams. Unfortunately, the ink cartridges are only accessible when the printer is on. While the HP 8025e only comes in one color, its variant, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e, comes in three colors: Light Basalt, Oasis, and Coral.
It has a great color touchscreen. It has three touch-sensitive buttons at the bottom of the display for Back, Home, and Help. It's very responsive and provides audible feedback, and the menu interface is easy to navigate.
It has a mediocre cartridge system. Its black page yield is very low, so you may need to replace the cartridges often, especially if you print a lot. On the other hand, the color cartridge should last you longer, depending on how much you print in color. Fortunately, there are high-yield cartridges available that should last you longer, though we haven't tested them. If you want a similar printer with a much higher page yield, check out the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e.
The printer has decent scanning features. There's both a flatbed scanner and an automatic document feeder, meaning you can digitize a variety of items like photos and multi-page reports. You can also save documents as searchable PDF files, letting you easily search through them on your computer. Unfortunately, the flatbed lacks extendable hinges, making it difficult to properly scan thicker items. Also, the ADF is disappointingly slow and will take a while to get through very long documents, and since it doesn't support duplex scanning, you can't scan double-sided pages in a single pass. If you want a printer with an ADF that supports duplex scanning, check out the HP OfficeJet Pro 6978.

It has a good cost-per-print. The cost remains relatively low over time, but it may quickly add up if you print in color often. This printer comes with an HP Instant Ink subscription, which offers six months of free ink delivered to your door. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e also comes with a subscription, but it offers 12 months of free ink.
Keep in mind that even if you print only in black, most inkjet printers continue using the color cartridges for servicing tasks, so you may still need to replace them eventually.
It has an okay printing speed. While both black-only and color documents take some time to print out, photos are out quick. The input tray holds 225 pages, and the ADF holds 35 sheets.
It produces photos with decently vibrant colors, but there's some graininess and branding present in some images.
These results are based on the actual physical photo, not the scanned image provided for reference above, which may not be representative of the printer's photo print quality.
The printer has decent color accuracy, meaning casual users can print natural-looking photos, and colored graphs for meetings are easy to distinguish. However, it isn't recommended for professionals who need exact color reproduction.
It offers a great number of wireless and wired connectivity options. While you can use Bluetooth to set up the printer, you can't use it to print afterward.
HP Smart is a fantastic mobile app. It allows you to print, scan, and fax directly from the app, as well as check ink levels and manage your ink subscription. However, some commonly used formats can only directly be printed on iOS.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
