Our Verdict

HP ENVY Photo 7155

HP ENVY Photo 6255

The HP ENVY Photo 7155 and the HP ENVY Photo 6255 are two very similar color printers. Both printers don't perform all that well when it comes to black-only documents. Their printing speeds are very slow, and neither yields a lot of pages. However, the 7155 has a slightly better color accuracy and photo printing quality. The biggest plus for the 7155, is that it supports external storage like an SD card or USB thumb drive.
