The HP Envy Photo 7830 is a powerful all-in-one device that’s capable of printing, scanning and copying in addition to having fax functionality. Testing did throw up some oddities in the drivers and the scanner software, though. With the latter, HP has prioritised ease-of-use over all else, with the result that you can’t set the resolution or colour depth of a scan, only the type of scan, which left a 10 x 8in photo scanning at just 200dpi. Detail and colour accuracy were fine, but if you’re using scans for any serious design work, this isn’t really going to cut the mustard.

The HP Envy Photo 7830 is a stylish all-in-one printer that produces high quality photos and documents, whilst being easy to use and reliable. The HP Envy Photo 7830 uses original HP inks to produce prints that are comparable in quality to laser printers. It’s a similar story when printing; you have to dive quite deep to find the options to set resolution to maximum and make sure you’re getting the best quality. True, this isn’t a device for professional photo studios – or even expert amateurs – but we’d like the options available and a little closer to the surface.
