Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TR8620

HP ENVY Inspire 7255e

The Canon PIXMA TR8620 is overall better than the HP ENVY Inspire 7255e, especially for photos. The Canon yields about 100 or so more pages than the HP for both black and color, so you won't need to replace the cartridges as often. While its three individual color cartridges are more expensive than the HP's one color cartridge, the Canon's last longer, so you won't spend as much money on ink in the long run. It also prints nicer-looking photos with more range and accuracy.
