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.

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.
It has great scanner features. It has a high-resolution flatbed scanner that's great for scanning fragile or thick items. It also has an automatic document feeder to easily process multi-page documents. Unfortunately, it can't perform duplex scanning, so you need to manually flip over every page of a double-sided document.
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.
Its color accuracy is good enough for adding color to a report or spreadsheet, but it isn't recommended for professions that need exact color reproduction.
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.
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 decent 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.
Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e has a variant called the HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e, which is nearly identical, but it comes in three different colors and includes 12 months of free ink through the HP Instant Ink subscription program. While we only tested the 8025e, we expect our test results to apply to the 8035e as well. Both are replacements to the discontinued HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 and HP OfficeJet Pro 8035. You can see the label of our unit here.
