HP PSC 1610 all-in-one

I have a 1610 All-in-One and have found that the colours you see on your computer are not very close to what prints out. ( I have tried to do CD jackets and Labels.) Also because the paper has to do a 'U' turn to get printed, photo paper always jams. It take about three tries to print a photo by pushing the paper when it tries to feed. I let the lid drop by accident and broke the scanner/copier glass so not it is just a printer that's to stressful to print photos. I would NEVER buy aother one.

Brother MFC-7440N

The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.
Lexmark X4875

It's a step back in the style stakes, but there's still plenty to like about Lexmark's latest small office wireless printer.
HP Photosmart C8180

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 slow. If you always choose quality over speed, the C8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.
Kodak ESP 3

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 money would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.
HP Officejet J6480

The Officejet J6480 is Hewlett-Packard's newest all-in-one printer with a host of features designed to appeal to small-to-midsize businesses that want a low-cost, feature-rich device capable of handling projects across the board. The price and features set make the J6480 one of our favourite do-it-all devices.

Canon Pixma MP610

The Canon Pixma MP610 is a minor upgrade of the MP600, offering nothing less and not much more but if you don't already have a multifunction printer it may be worth a look.

HP Photosmart C5280

Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.
Samsung CLX-2160 AIO

Samsung's cute little colour MFP wins points with us for its compact style, although otherwise it's a deeply average printer.
