The assembly and materials are of high quality, the design remains elegant and the layout is compact. The paper tray can accommodate 125 A4 sheets, the correct amount for this type of printer. There is also a dedicated tray for photo paper in 10 x 15 format, which is rather practical so as not to have to play with the guides of the main tray. The HP ENVY 5642 achieves decent throughput with 16 pages per minute (ppm) in black and white and 12 ppm in color. Black drying time is always a problem for two-sided printing, with throughputs dropping to 8 ppm. The print quality seems to be improving slightly, with detailed graphics and color gradients respected. The scan can be done on a memory card, a computer, or an email. The quality of the scanned files is quite good for a material of this range. Scanning an A4 document and a 10 x 15 photo is fast (16 and 20 seconds at 300 dpi respectively). The copy function is very often a source of degradation of the output quality. Here, the HP ENVY 5642 does justice to the original of the document, with a certain respect for gradients and readable graphics in color as well as in black and white. A very good point. With 19 seconds to output a black-and-white copy and 26 seconds for color, the copier mode speeds are correct. The connection is provided by a USB socket and Wi-Fi. Tradition at HP, ergonomics, and ease of use are at the rendezvous. The 6.75 cm touchscreen fulfils its role, the menus are clear and you get to the point quickly. An SD card reader makes it easy to print photos, even if one dreams of a slightly larger screen for better viewing. The USB port for external devices (USB key for example) is unfortunately still not there. The touchscreen menu has a simple structure and reacts quickly to the entries. The HP ENVY 5642 is equipped with HP’s typical ePrint function so that it can also work wirelessly with corresponding ultra-mobile devices.
