HP 5640 e-All-in-One Printer Review

The HP ENVY 5640 e-All-in-One inkjet can print, scan, and copy, as well as send documents via email or the web, yet it doesn't take up much space at all. This makes it a perfect choice for home users without a lot of extra room for a printer, and yet it still has advanced features like a touchscreen interface and mobile printing. Prices for HP 5640 printer ink supplies are also relatively affordable, making a cost-effective solution.

The 5640 is designed to be easy to set up, with both a USB port for a wired connection or wireless support for sharing on a Wi-Fi network. The main paper tray can hold up to 125 sheets, with a separate 15-sheet photo tray for easy loading of specialty photo media. The maximum ISO speed is 12 pages per minute for black and 8 pages per minute for color.

The unit has a small touchscreen display that measures 2.65 inches diagonally. This is useful for easy setup and controlling the various functions without the need for a computer. It also supports mobile printing from devices like smartphones and tablets, and the specialized HP ePrint app can even allow users to save scans to their device, or view stats like the amount of ENVY 5640 printer ink remaining.

For an inkjet model, the cost of HP 5640 ink cartridges is pretty affordable. The standard supplies have yields of 165 pages for tricolor and 200 pages for black. There are also high-capacity ENVY 5640 ink cartridges available, however, that can last for around 415 pages for tricolor and 600 pages for black.

For such a compact machine, the ENVY 5640 is surprisingly robust. Buyers shouldn't expect blazing speeds or a lot of advanced features, but it handles the needs of a family quite well, and HP 5640 ink won't break the budget either.
