The good:

  • Built-in networking
  • Built-in duplexer
  • Dedicated photo paper tray
  • Good colour scans

The bad:

  • Print quality needs improvement
  • Slow print speeds
  • Menus aren't intuitive or easily navigable
  • Lacks advanced copy and memory card options
  • No PictBridge port
  • No scannable index

The bottomline:

The HP Photosmart C6280 lacks many of the features that make a photo all-in-one compelling, and its print quality disappoints. Your money is better spent on a different all-in-one.

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

      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.

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

      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.

      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.
