The Brother MFC-685CW is a rather cheap multifunction printer which brings plenty of features in comparatively small space. But the bad thing here is that in approach to jam plenty of features in a small space the print quality and print speed delivered by the printer gets a blow and limits up to being average only. The MFC-685cw is the ideal printer for only those who wants nothing but maximum functionality in their printer and are really short on space. If you also are one of such consumers then the Brother MFC-685CW is just what you have been looking all through your life. One another decent option for you is the Canon Pixma MX700. It won’t give you the advanced fax feature, but you definitely will get decent print quality and fast prints which works in a specialized capacity. Design The  [...]

You don’t see momentous advancement in printer technology that often and even if they take place not many of them are worth noticing. It has been three years since Epson released its extensively popular Stylus Photo R1800 and now after three years the company has brought an upgrade to it in the form of Epson Stylus Photo R1900. The Stylus Photo R1900 comes with an all new variant of company’s pigment-based UltraChrome Hi-Gloss ink set named as UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2.

The Stylus Photo R1900 also gets an enhancement in the way the printer can translate the colors in the picture taken from your digital camera to the colors which the printer can reproduce.  [...]

The Lexmark x7550 is yet another attempt from the printer manufacturers to deliver as much as possible to their consumers, but sadly this again is an unsuccessful attempt. Priced at $200 the Lexmark x7550 tries to bring a lot of its targeted audiences and in this attempt the printer looses functionality of several individual parts. The print quality offered by Lexmark x7550 is so poor that even many of the entry-level inkjet printers could triumph it, then the fax machine here also is ordinary because of the lower than average paper feed count and if you haven’t placed the documents precisely the copier will destroy them. The only good thing that we found here was the integrated wireless facility, which eliminates the need of a separate print server, but still it isn’t a revolutionary  [...]

The Brother HL-2170W is a monochrome laser printer and feasible alternative modern inkjet printers in the market. The printer might have a low initial cost, but with the fact that the modern photo, tricolor, and high capacity ink cartridge for the printer can cost anything between $20 to $100 per refill, the running cost of the printer could easily be equal to that of owning an inkjet. And to cut this short you can also buy a printer with an inexpensive black and white laser printer. Although the Brother HL-2170W has got its own set of flaws like the print quality offered by the printer is really crippling, but then the printer makes up for it with its brisk print speed for text documents and the 802.11b/g wireless functionality just for $150. The HL-2170W is a nice choice as a text only  [...]

Hewlett-Packard’s all new line of OfficeJet H470 Mobile Printers is a renewal to its line of portable inkjet printers. With the models starting from $224 to $314, the printers here are clearly not any cheap printers especially with the fact that most of the home inkjet printers cost less than $100. Even the print quality of HP OfficeJet H470wf is substandard, which however was not a surprise but rather disappointing. We would have loved say a lot of good things about the OfficeJet H470wf, but this certainly isn’t the update that we were waiting for and clearly is an unimpressive update and its better to get its preceding embodiment, the HP DeskJet 460c, that too at a discounted price. Design The all new HP OfficeJet H470wf is comparatively compact printer and measuring  [...]

Just a few months back we were praising the Canon Pixma MX7600 for its great results in our reviewing tests. The multifunction MX700 performed exceedingly well as a printer, fax machine, copier and scanner and despite its spontaneous performance the printer yielded brilliant quality prints. But most importantly each of the function of that printer was efficient in its way, now this is the most important thing in the world of multifunction printers. The complaints that we had with that computer was that it was a tad slow on text prints, and even lacked some of the highly advanced faxing options and didn’t had an auto-duplexer. But our complaint didn’t last long on the desks of Canon and soon we got the brand new Canon Pixma MX7600, priced at $400 as the solution to our  [...]
