Dell 926 Photo All-in-One Specifications

By Felisa Yang on 08/06/2007

More Dell reviews , RRP: AU$109.00

The good:

  • Built-in media card slots and USB port
  • E-fax capability
  • Produces a scannable photo index

The bad:

  • Disappointing print quality
  • Photo ink actually degrades photo quality
  • Dell's own photo paper doesn't produce the best quality prints
  • Sluggish task speeds

The bottomline:

The Dell Photo 926 is disappointing, even for a AU$100 multifunction printer. You can get a better printer for the same money.

      Lexmark X4650

      Students on a budget should consider the X4650, but only against the vast raft of other MFDs on the market.

    • Brother MFC-7440N

      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

      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

      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.
