Multifunction Printer Reviews

"Small unit; good performance; low running costs; easy to connect...No duplex unit; photo quality not great...For an office workhorse device, the Brother MFC-7840W is surprisingly small...Copying and scanning were similarly quick, with good-quality copies and the ability to scan straight to an email once the driver is installed...Street pricing for standard toner (1,500 pages) costs about £30 (2p per page), while the high-yield version costs just £40 and is..." read more »

"The MFC-7340 has a number of flaws and missing features that make it problematic for office use...No duplex, no Ethernet and an inadequate paper output tray are its key failures, but it delivers good quality printing and it is cost efficient...The MFC-7340 is the cheapest product in Brother's refreshed line-up of mono laser multifunctions...For small businesses that need a multifunction that's cheap to run, the MFC-7340 might be suitable..." read more »

"Low cost to print; two-year warranty....Poor output quality; slow print times; awkward build quality; outdated design; lacks wireless networking....From start to finish, the Brother MFC-5890CN leaves many unanswered questions in its wake: Who designed this eyesore...The MFC-5890CN comes prepackaged with no less than five prominently placed stickers spattered across the scanner lid, auto-document feeder, ink cartridge bay, and side paneling...Other companies..." read more »

"Pretty big shoes to fill and I wasn't sure how the MP560 would perform...Will the photo and print quality be as good...The Canon Pixma MP560 is a sleek, compact photo printer with scan and copy capabilities along with a host of features..." read more »

"High-quality graphic and photo output...Prints on optical discs...Fast speed for photos....Although text quality is good enough for most purposes, it's a touch below par...Limited paper capacity....If you're looking for a high-end all-in-one (AIO) for the home or home office?or a single AIO for both?don't overlook the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One ($299.99 direct...The combination makes it a good place to start your search?and quite possibly end it as..." read more »

"Somebody who needs a variety tasks to be filled but doesn't want to clutter his office with three different machines will find the DCP-7040 to be a perfect addition to the office...As a straight-up printer, the DCP-7040 puts out about 23 ppm in black and white...There's about a ten-thousand page per month duty cycle, which is also good in a machine like this one...It also can reduce or enlarge copies in a 25 to 400% range, which gives it good flexibility..." read more »

"The Lexmark X6650 is a feature-rich all-in-one inkjet printer that doesn’t break the bank… a seemingly perfect choice for this holiday season...Is the X6650 as great as it sounds...The Lexmark X6650 all-in-one is actually a reasonably compact printer tipping the scales at 16.55 lbs...The exterior of the X6650 looks strikingly similar to the Lexmark X4975 that we previously reviewed and is mostly done in silver with black plastics...If you plan on connecting the X6650 to your network or personal computer through a wired connection, the USB port is located on the back right side..." read more »

"Built-in wireless; easy to set up and use; good range of features...Average photo print quality; expensive; no photo preview on screen...Part of Lexmark's 'home and student' series, the X4650 packs print, scan and copy functions into a reasonably small housing...With its slanted front, the black and silver design looks impressive, while the built-in screen helps users navigate the various menu options...As well as being able to hook up to a PC using a standard..." read more »

"Solid-ink printers have been around in one form or another for about 20 years, but a lot of people don't know much about them, if they've even heard of them...Even a color laser AIO in the 8560MFP/D's price range could be a good fit for a one-person office if you have to print enough pages at high quality on a regular basis...Depending on how much of a perfectionist you are, you may consider the quality good enough for things like advertising mailings and trifold brochures..." read more »

"Without separate ink tanks, and lacking the extras that make most all-in-ones so useful, the MP190 instead aims to be quick, simple and very good value...despite a bargain price and a dearth of features, the underlying print engine produces good quality results..." read more »
