    14 Sep 2009 2:20 PM

    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. With a function touchscreen, multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed, it makes perfect sense to give this workhorse an Editors' Choice award.

    01 Jun 2009 12:51 PM

    The C390a follows in the footsteps of recent HP multifunction devices by delivering excellent quality prints in a stylish, fully featured unit. If it weren't for the initial and ongoing running costs, this would be the ideal solution for a home or small office MFD.

    HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One C309g

    16 Oct 2009 10:01 AM

    The Photosmart Premium is a nifty little multifunction with the added novelty of a touchscreen. It does a great job of plain text, but it's a pity about its colour prints.

    Epson Stylus Photo TX710W

    19 Oct 2009 1:34 PM

    Excellent photo quality and average text quality equals a standard result for the TX710W, a multifunction that's great at some tasks and only just OK at others.

    Canon Pixma MP630

    The Pixma MP630 is a good all-round multifunction printer, without winning a best-in-class prize for any one feature.

    Even though it won't set hearts on fire with its bland exterior, the Fuji Xerox Phaser 3125/N will impress with its speedy monochrome laser prints and good print quality.

    Canon Pixma MX330

    30 Jun 2009 10:21 AM

    The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$200 category. An auto-document feeder, 1.8-inch LCD screen, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for creative homes on a budget.

    Epson Stylus Photo T50

    07 Oct 2009 5:30 PM

    The T50 is a reasonably priced single-function printer that produces good photos and can handle CDs too, but the ongoing consumable costs and text quality let this inkjet down.
