Price is about the same. So which one is better?

Comparison summary:
Advantages of HP Envy 7640:
  • It supports double-side printing, but HP OfficeJet 3830 does not.
  • It prints faster in black-and-white
  • It prints faster in color
Advantages of HP OfficeJet 3830:
  • It is $17.01 cheaper

  • It takes less time to print the first page in color
  • It can scan/copy a stack of up to 35 pages, while HP Envy 7640 can only go up to 25.
Alright, now let's go into details.
7 differences we consider important:
  • HP Envy 7640 supports double-side printing, but HP OfficeJet 3830 does not.
    Automatic duplex printing (also known as two-sided printing) refers to a printer's ability to print on both sides of the paper, without having to manually flip it.
  • HP OfficeJet 3830 is a tiny bit quieter.
    When printing, HP Envy 7640 has a loudness of 49 dB (decibels), while HP OfficeJet 3830 measures at 48 dB.
    How loud is that? We made a decibel chart for you to reference.
  • HP Envy 7640 prints faster in black-and-white (14 vs 8.5 PPM)
    In black-and-white, HP Envy 7640 prints at 14 pages per minute (PPM). HP OfficeJet 3830 measures at 8.5 PPM.
    HP Envy 7640 would take about 07:09 to print 100 pages, HP OfficeJet 3830 would take 11:46.
  • HP Envy 7640 prints faster in color (9 vs 6 PPM)
    In color, HP Envy 7640 prints at 9 pages per minute (PPM). HP OfficeJet 3830 measures at 6 PPM.
    HP Envy 7640 would take about 11:07 to print 100 pages, HP OfficeJet 3830 would take 16:40.
  • HP OfficeJet 3830 takes less time to print the first page in black (14s vs 18s)
    This initialization is period is called 'First page out' time; it's 18 seconds for HP Envy 7640 and 14 seconds for HP OfficeJet 3830. This makes HP OfficeJet 3830 4 seconds faster at printing first page in black than HP Envy 7640.
  • HP OfficeJet 3830 takes less time to print the first page in color (17s vs 22s)
    First page out time is 17 seconds for HP OfficeJet 3830 and 22 seconds for HP Envy 7640 (in color). This makes HP OfficeJet 3830 5 seconds faster at printing first page in color than HP Envy 7640.
  • HP OfficeJet 3830 can scan/copy a stack of up to 35 pages, while HP Envy 7640 can only go up to 25.
    This feature is known as 'ADF Capacity' - it's the maximum number of sheets that you can fit into the ADF paper input tray.
12 similarities we think are important to mention:
  • Both printers can print over Wi-Fi
    Printing over Wi-Fi is a very common feature, available even in most budget models.
  • Both printers can print from mobile
    In most cases, if a printer supports wireless printing, it also supports Wi-Fi printing.
  • Both printers have a built-in scanner & copier
    Scan and copy technology have a large hardware overlap. If a printer supports scanning, it will likely support copying.
  • Both printers can scan/copy custom-sized documents (built-in flatbed scanner).
    Flatbed scanners allow scanning documents one by one. Unlike ADF scanners, you can only scan one page at a time. However, flatbed scanners allow you to scan custom-sized documents, like passports, drivers licenses, etc. Flatbed scanners also tend to produce higher quality images.
  • Both printers can scan/copy stacks of documents (built-in ADF).
    ADF, or Automatic Document Feeder allows a printer to scan or copy a stack of pages. This feature is so important that even the cheapest printers try to include it. Technically speaking, ADF is not a feature of the printer - it is a feature of the scanner or copier.
  • Both printers support two-sided scanning (duplex ADF scanner).
    A two-sided (duplex) ADF scanner allows scanning a stack of documents on both sides.
  • Both printers have an LCD status display
    LCD status displays are very useful. Your printer can tell you if ink is low or paper is jammed.
  • Both printers accept touch-screen commands
    Touch-screen displays allow you to interface with a printer much faster, especially scanning and copying.
  • Both printers produce the same quality black prints (1200 x 1200 DPI)
    Both printers have a maximum black DPI of 1200 x 1200. What is DPI? In short: the number of dots a printer "draws" per inch. Higher DPI means a higher quality print. It's not the easiest thing to understand, so if print quality is very important to you, we suggest reading an article on DPI.
    • 600 x 600 is more than enough DPI to print any kind of documents.
    • Higher DPI takes more ink to print, draining your cartridge/toner faster.
    • Whenever you see 'DPI', it's actually referring to the 'maximum DPI'. Your printer will often choose to lower the DPI where possible to conserve ink.
  • Both printers produce the same quality color prints (4800 x 1200 DPI)
    Both printers have a maximum color DPI of 4800 x 1200.
    • Unless you are a professional photographer, 1200 x 600 DPI will be fine for printing photos.
  • Both printers are energy star qualified.
    Energy Star is a set of standards that aims to reduce energy consumption of various devices. An Energy Star Qualified printer consumes less electricity to operate and is more environmentally friendly.
  • Neither printer can combine scans into PDFs.
    This is a very important feature for those who plan to scan a lot of multi-page documents. A printer will combine the pages into a single PDF file. So instead of receiving a dozen pictures, you get one PDF. Going a step further, certain printers use embedded OCR Software (convert image to text) to create searchable PDFs. This way allows you to do computer wizardry with the resulting scan file, such as copy, paste, search, edit, etc.

scanner Scan, Fax, and Photocopy

The four main functions of printers are: printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing. Either your device will be print only, print/scan/copy, or an all-in-one printer that does printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Note that scanning and copying almost always come together, since the hardware for these features overlaps significantly. Generally speaking, all-in-one printers are larger, so those with space constraints may find this to be an inconvenience. Additionally, printers with a fax feature are typically more expensive. It would be wise to only consider this feature if you plan to fax often. If not, you’ll be satisfied with a print/scan/copy device.

wifi_tethering Connectivity

Network printers can be wired or wireless. A printer with a wired network connection uses an Ethernet cord that connects directly to your router. A wireless printer connects to your home or office Wi-Fi network. Any computer also connected to your network can use your printer, whether it’s wired or wireless. You will have to install software, or printer drivers, on the computer before you can print. Also, there is a setup process for the printer to get it on the network. If your printer is not wireless, you’ll need to connect it directly to your computer via USB cable, which is not ideal if you have multiple users that need the printer simultaneously.

Outside of Wi-Fi, there are a number of ways a device can connect to a printer. If the printer is not wireless, you’ll have to connect to your printer via USB cable. Some people prefer using the wired connection because it allows for faster data transfers and quicker printing. Depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi and how strong the signal is, it can take time for the document to send from computer to printer over the network. Using a wired connection eliminates this issue. Other connections you may have are: Ethernet for wired connection to your network; Airprint or Google Cloud Print for quick direct printing over the cloud/internet; USB hard drive or memory card to print directly from storage devices; or PictBridge to print directly from cameras.

video_label LCD

Printers with an LCD screen/display give you the option to control some settings directly on the printer, such as a one-touch print, scan, copy, or fax. You may also be able to adjust print quality, preview the print job, and/or view connection settings. Some screens are programmed to offer setup instructions for easy installation. For those who are not particularly tech savvy, this could be helpful.
