Our Verdict

Canon PIXMA TS8320

HP ENVY Inspire 7255e

The Canon PIXMA TS8320 and the HP ENVY Inspire 7255e are both all-in-one inkjets designed for home use, but the Canon is better overall. The Canon's cartridges yield a lot more pages than the HP's, so you don't need to replace them as often; it is a bit more expensive to replace them all at once since there's five color cartridges. That said, the dedicated photo black cartridge and the photo blue cartridge does make it a better choice for photos.
