Even as digital devices move ever forward, with some handy perks for musicians, there’s still a lot of value to having actual printed pages. Whether it’s sheet music of your favorite songs or just exercises, printed media makes it easy to see and easier on the eyes than a bright tablet display or small smartphone screen. The HP ENVY 6000 Series printer can be your ally when it comes to your musical practice.

While you could organize digital sheet music on a tablet or run learning apps on a computer, there are plenty of drawbacks that may not make them ideal in all situations. The horizontal orientation of computer screens often isn’t conducive to sheet music, as it results in a lot of scrolling or page turning that can make it hard to track where you’re at. And, if you want to rely on a tablet, you’ll always have to ensure it stays charged – never mind that technology can find ways of becoming unresponsive or glitching out at the worst times. And, even the brightest displays can be hard to see if there’s a glare or bright sunlight.

Printing off sheet music can help you solve those concerns. The HP ENVY 6055 all-in-one printer will let you make physical copies of the sheet music or exercises you need.  With borderless printing, it can even let you print off the most complicated sheet music with annotations in the margins without needing to shrink the page to fit that extra info. You can also print your own staff paper to compose on or note down the chord changes of new songs during band practice. The upgraded HP ENVY Pro 6455 adds support for automatic duplex printing so you can print out scores that are easy to flip through on your music stand.

There are some extra perks to the HP ENVY 6055 for musicians as well. If you’ve already got a lot of sheet music, it’s a safe bet some of it has started or will start falling apart one day. The HP ENVY 6055 can let you easily make copies of your sheet music so you can keep the original copy safe and take the new copy with you for gigs. You can even benefit if you prefer to use a tablet, since the scanning feature will let you make digital copies of sheet music and send them directly to your tablet.

Of course, those are just the ways the HP ENVY 6055 can be of use in the musical side of your life. Having a capable, all-in-one printer at home can also just make life a little bit easier. You don’t need to run out to a print shop every time you need to print a document. Making sure you’ve got copies of your tax returns is a lot easier. And, if you have to travel for a gig, printing your boarding passes is a breeze. Since the HP ENVY 6055 connects over Wi-Fi, it’ll also easily work with most of your devices, and you can keep it tucked away so it doesn't clutter your practice space.
