Meet the HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One printer, one of HP's latest printers to bear the Envy name, which means it should offer you better quality than many of its peers, and look good doing it too. It's a printer aimed for the home, rather than the office,...
HP's crafted a well rounded printer that won't break the bank and manages to offer top-notch image quality to boot. If you're after a solid all-in-one printer that has handy online and wireless features, the Envy 5530 is one to consider - you just...
Expert review by : Ted Needleman (digitaltrends.com)
With a street price of about a hundred bucks, the 5530 is a good, affordable contender the next time you need a multifunction printer for your home.
Designed specifically for the home user, the Envy 5530 does a good job of providing a nice feature mix in a very attractive package.

Low-cost home printers tend to be unexciting, but this one stands out for having better-than-usual print quality and a new, cloud-controlled Instant Ink program that is cheaper per page than its regular cartridges are.
Impressive output quality ; Very easy to use ; Instant Ink program offers some savings over regular inks ; Automatic duplexing
Very slow performance ; Regular inks are very pricey

The HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One focuses on home use, with excellent photo quality and good looking graphics.
Automatic duplexer (for two sided printing). Wi-Fi. HP-equivalent of Wi-Fi Direct. Prints through the cloud.
Slow. No Ethernet port. No Fax.
The HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One's balance of speed, output quality, price, and features makes it more than acceptable for light-duty home office use as well as home use, but its photo speed and quality are what make it stand out. If you're looking for...

Clearly aimed primarily at home—rather than office—needs, the HP Envy 5530 e-All-in-One offers better than par photo quality plus par quality for graphics and text. It also throws in some home-printer features like built-in templates for graph paper...
Consumer review (which.co.uk)
We seem to have been luckier that 'veteran60' : we got out 5530 on sale about 4 months ago with a month of the instant ink sevice thrown in. While nowhere near the quality of a laser printer it's pretty good for what we paid. Colours are generally fine...
Consumer review (which.co.uk)
I bought this for Instant Ink and remote printing. Photo printing at best is very poor. Document printing for more than 2 pages is hit and miss. Much of my Instant Ink monthly page allowance comprises pages that only half printed.Some people might be...
