Oki's C3600n color printer is a desk-friendly, extremely compact printer for modern users. Being technically precise, the OKI C3600n actually is an LED printer, which is a slight variant on the laser-based printing engine, and is being shipped as a quick printer intended for small offices and solo users. Most of the small offices and homes these days are looking for a color laser printer that can print large number of documents by maintaining good quality and print speeds, and this is what the OKI C3600n gives to them. Priced at $399 the OKI C3600n prints at significant speed and network ready, but at the same time it’s bigger than some of its very own competitions and lacks a lot of modern features like the wireless printer server and full-color LCD.

Hewlett-Packard’s Color LaserJet CP2025n is a highly priced color laser printer developed from small businesses, home and professionals in mind. So you can’t expect anything serious or huge from it. Priced at $450, the CP2025n can be connected to several computers of a wired network, but it certainly isn’t the perfect printer and don’s minor faults. To start with, the output speed for presentation and text documents isn’t that good for the printer, in fact is much slower than the competition, it didn’t even have a auto-duplexer for double-sided printing.

The HP Officejet J4680 priced at $130 is an all-in-one from HP that not only can fax, scan and copy but also can print great quality pictures and documents. We hardly see a $150 printer with modern features such as: convert-to-text, 20 sheet auto document feeder and 802.11g Wi-Fi connectivity, but J4680 comes with all these features. But despite all the modern features there actually isn’t much to cheer about HP Officejet J4680 and the printer suffers from dreadfully slow print speed for all the documents it is subjected to (text and graphics) and there are few mechanical hiccups that limits the performance of the system. But if these few hiccups doesn’t bothers you then you definitely will be satisfied with the output quality and features of J4680, but if you want a flawless printer  [...]

HP Color LaserJet CP1215 is a straightforward, single-function laser printer designed match all the requirements of a small business or home. Priced at $299, the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 with its modest footprints, immense quality black and color print outputs makes it an excellent alternative to the expensive HP Color LaserJet CP2025n. But a printer as limited as this certainly isn’t what we recommend to our readers. Apart from being incompatible with Mac OS (any Mac) the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 offered really slow performance on all our speed tests and all these feature drouth makes it a dull printer and dries our interest in it. So if you are a Mac user or have to print large number of documents on regular basis, then we will recommend the more gainful Dell 1320c rather than HP Color  [...]

Canon Pixma MP980 could be seen as a competent all-in-one printer which prints and copies the document in complete color 4800 x 9600 pixel resolution. It’s especially included gray cartridge offers a slight distinct grayscale photo prints. Priced at $300 the Canon Pixma MP980 extends support to the rookie photo fanciers with its huge 3.5 inch LCD screen, a media card reader and a user-friendly control panel, but we definitely aren’t satisfied with the tricky wireless system, the duller-than-average outturn speeds and billowed price. In comparison to this, the HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one offering a fax machine and an auto-document feeder all at a lesser price is a much better deal. Design The Canon Pixma MP980 AIO has got the same structure that Canon's MP series  [...]

The HP Officejet 6000 doesn’t posses the flashy features of the other prominent all-in-one printers, but it makes it up for its lack of feature with its respectable print speed and print quality for text and photos both. Printing 0.46 full color photos per minute the HP Officejet 6000 makes its capability clear to the market, but still there are some vital features missing from the printer. Some crucial feature that we found was missing includes LCD screen, USB cord and the media card reader. Some of the people might buy Officejet 6000 for its affordable cost of $90, but if you look around you can get a lot more office functionality in merely $20 more in the form of Canon Pixma MX330, it’s a  [...]

The printer industries these days are shifting towards making more of the all-in-one printers having copiers, fax machines and scanners all built underneath one hood. This is a win-win situation for both, for us as a consumer because we will get all-in-one printers at much better prices now, and for the printer makers because it will increase the consumption ink cartridges and papers and hence the consumers will have to come back to them more often. But still there are home and offices that hardly needs these high profile all-in-one printers and are pretty happy with their simple device which can get their random prints for: maps, airline tickets, the rare snapshot photo and documents. These are the people to whom our next printer HP Deskjet D2660 targets and this single function inkjet  [...]

The only thing that came to our mind in our first encounter with Brother MFC-5890CN was handful of questions regarding the development of this printer. We were surprised to see its awkward design and still it got launched. But there was even more to surprise us and the next in our list was its price, despite being an eyesore this thing was surprisingly priced high. And lastly were its features, which made us think that may be this printer wasn’t tested before launch! All these thoughts brought us to the conclusion that Brother MFC-5890CN all-in-one scanner/printer/copier/fax/ is nothing more than a disappointment and we are unremorsefully dissatisfied with it. You might get deceived by the 3.3 inch LCD screen, but remember that a screen is nothing without a decent machine behind it. So  [...]
