Epson Perfection V600 Photo

For a photographer looking to transfer their analog films and slides to digital format, the V600 provides an affordable and versatile solution.
Epson Stylus Photo TX710W

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.
Epson Stylus Photo T50

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.
Canon Pixma MP640

With a 3-inch screen, the MP640 can print, scan and copy as well as produce photo printouts.
Canon Pixma MP990

The MP990 is a Wi-Fi printer that has a 3.8-inch screen, Wi-Fi, automatic duplexing, plus all the usual multifunction features of copying and scanning.
Canon Selphy CP780

It's pinker than Princess Peach's tutu, but the CP780 is more than just the apple in Mario's eye, it's a dye-sublimation printer from Canon that can print 4x6-inch photos from a number of memory cards or directly connected to a camera or a computer.
Canon Selphy ES3

For enthusiasts and those wanting to produce high-quality prints at home using a dedicated photo printer, the Selphy ES3 is a great purchase, but the cost of consumables and cost per print is fairly steep.
Canon Pixma MP980

The Canon Pixma MP980 multifunction printer, copier, and scanner is a step up from its predecessor, but the print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition.
