HP’s Envy Pro 6452 All-in-One ($109.99) is an entry-level multifunction inkjet printer aimed at families and micro offices. Where most all-in-ones (AIOs) of its kind lose points for their high operating costs, in this case, subscribing to HP’s Instant Ink service makes using this printer a relative bargain. This Envy sells for about $30 less than our current low-end Editors’ Choice, the Brother MFC-J491DW; however, that printer’s running costs are sky-high versus the 6452 paired with Instant Ink. This little Envy’s low price and running costs make it solid for home offices, family rooms, and dorms. It’s good for 200 to 300 pages a month—just enough to edge it into our slot for favorite starter AIO for homes and home offices.
