What reviewers say

Reviewers of the Envy 6120e, the same printer in white, agree print, scan and copy quality are good for the price, with crisp text and vivid colour. Both found it slow and very expensive to run on standard HP cartridges unless signed up to Instant Ink; Expert Reviews also noted problems with third-party cartridges and the need for a constant internet connection.
