HP OfficeJet 250
The HP OfficeJet 250 is good for casual photos. Produced images have a decent amount of detail with impressively accurate colors. The printer lets you connect to USB, WIFI and Bluetooth from your laptop or computer. It's affordable to print photos, but replacing the color cartridge can get expensive, especially if you plan on printing in color a lot.

We ranked HP OfficeJet 250 #11 in May 2022 because:
- 2 independent experts mentioned it in their “best Inkjet Printers” rankings.
The HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile All-in-One printer is designed to be very portable so you can bring it around with you when traveling for business. It has a removable, rechargeable battery for when you don't have a power outlet near you, and it has great connectivity options or Bluetooth, WIFI and USB. It has great color accuracy and produces decently-detailed photos. It isn't very affordable to print in black due to the very low page yield, so the cost of replacing the cartridges can quickly surpass the price of the printer itself.
