While some of us would love to be free of having to print documents and other materials, the fact is that printing is still in demand. Printers have generally been a hassle to deal with but they have gotten better over the past few years. HP has been one of the companies that have led the way and now they’ve announced two new family printers, the ENVY 6000 and 6400 Pro.
HP threw out a few interesting statistics which caught my eye and might interest you as well. The company says 29 billion educational documents were printed in 2019. They also say that 83% of users believe that printed documents improve concentration. Furthermore, HP claims that 87% of users say kids enjoy learning from printed materials, which is why the ENVY 6000 and 6400 Pro are meant for families. HP also surveyed parents who used printers during the pandemic and stay-at-home period. Here are a few stats:
- 69% of people printed more often
- 66% of people printed educational materials
- 41% printed activities and games
- 71% will continue to print educational material even after school starts
The ENVY 6000 and 6400 Pro both come with an app to help make the setup more seamless. They also feature dual-band Wi-Fi which should help keep your connection more stable and reliable. These printers are also eligible for HP’s InstantInk service, which is actually a pretty great service, which we use in our home. Here are the features and pricing for both printers:
- Pricing:
- ENVY 6000: US$129
- ENVY 6400 Pro: US$149
