Dye-Sublimation Printers

5/19/2008

Canon Selphy CP760

Price: $95.00 - $99.99
Specs: Compact photo printer - Dye sublimation - Color, 4 in x 8 in, Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

The Bottom Line
The Canon Selphy CP760 takes the pain out of printing photos with its plug-and-play design and straightforward usability, and the $100 price tag makes it an excellent companion printer for quick prints in the home.

HP Officejet J6480

Price: $169.99 - $258.90
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line
The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features that are rarely found included in a $200 printer. Shoppers looking for an all-inclusive multifunctional unit will be impressed with the robust hardware and rich print quality.

Kodak ESP 3

Price: $103.99 - $142.83
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet

The Bottom Line
The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.

Canon Pixma MX7600

Price: $329.99 - $399.99
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 9600 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line
The Canon Pixma MX7600 multifunction is a huge improvement over the previous model. With additional features such as an autoduplexer, increased faxing options, and an upgraded control cockpit, we have no problem recommending the MX7600.

Brother HL-2170W

Price: $109.99 - $152.24

The Bottom Line
The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don't expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs.

Dell Multifunction Monochrome Laser Printer 1125

Price: $249.00 - $249.00
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 600 dpi

The Bottom Line
Aside from a few complaints, we like the Dell 1125's overall package. The reasonable price tag also helps. We would recommend the Dell 1125 as a sensible solution for shoppers in the market for a text-specific all-in-one.

Brother MFC-685cw

Price: $149.99 - $199.99
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi, Corded handset

The Bottom Line
The Brother MFC-685CW inkjet multifunction printer offers tons of great features at the expense of print speed and quality. If speed and quality are your priorities, look elsewhere.

Canon ImageClass MF4270

Price: $269.99 - $385.99
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line
If your office printing, scan, and fax needs run to the basic, the Canon ImageClass MF4270 is a good fit, with brisk task speeds and consistent output quality.

HP LaserJet M2727nf

Price: $399.99 - $599.99
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 1200 x 1200 dpi

The Bottom Line
In a vacuum, the HP LaserJet 2727nf is a fine mono laser multifunction for small offices. But its price and feature set are out of whack with the competition: you can get more for the same money, or you can pay less for the same features.

HP LaserJet 3330mfp

Price: $299.00 - $359.99
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Laser, 600 x 600 dpi, None

The Bottom Line
For a SOHO or corner-office corporate user, the LaserJet 3330mfp provides all the office equipment you need in one efficient desktop box. But considering its market, it should come with a longer warranty.

Canon Pixma MX300

Price: $81.40 - $106.99
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2100 dpi

The Bottom Line
If you work in a one-person office and are on a tight budget, the Pixma MX300 is a good fit; you won't find better quality output from comparably priced all-in-one inkjets. You'll need to keep shopping, however, if you need built-in networking or fast prints.

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One

Price: $228.26 - $455.85
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 9600 dpi

The Bottom Line
The C8180 multifunctional printer is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts. It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is s...l...o...w. If you always choose quality over speed, the c8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.

HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One

Price: $97.86 - $221.14
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line
The HP Photosmart C6280 lacks many of the features that make a photo all-in-one compelling, and its print quality disappoints. Your $200 is better spent on a different all-in-one.

8/30/2007

Canon Pixma MP970

Price: $230.87 - $321.28
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 4800 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line
The Canon Pixma MP970 isn't up to the company's usually high standards. You're better off spending more for last year's version.

Canon Pixma MX700

Price: $129.25 - $209.70
Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line
The Canon Pixma MX700 is a great choice for small offices with a wide variety of print tasks. This inkjet multifunction beats out the competition with a winning combination of features and performance.

Canon Pixma MP520

Price: $119.99 - $159.99
Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 4800 dpi

The Bottom Line
The Canon Pixma MP520 doesn't offer all the bells and whistles found on other budget all-in-ones, but it's a solid device that does the basics right while delivering best-in-class quality.
