Budget shopping tips: Printers

Shopping for a budget printer doesn't have to be an exercise in anger management and self-abasement. Contrary to the stigma, many printers can produce great-quality photos and documents without breaking the bank or eating up expensive consumables.

Reviews

  • Wacom Intuos4

    With a beautiful and more functional new design, Wacom's Intuos4 tablet demonstrates that a lack of competition doesn't necessarily keep you from innovating.

  • 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.

  • Dell 926 Photo All-in-One

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

  • Kodak EasyShare Photo Printer 350

    The EasyShare 350 is a capable and nicely designed photo printer with a specific appeal for mobile phone camera users.

  • Canon Pixma MP800

    With its wealth of photo-manipulation features, the Canon Pixma MP800 is a great choice for an amateur photo hobbyist.

  • Canon Pixma MP800R

    With its wealth of photo-manipulation features, the Canon Pixma MP800R is a great choice for an amateur photo hobbyist. It's also fast at all tasks, which makes it a better choice than the HP Photosmart 3310.

  • Epson Stylus Photo RX650

    With a number of user-friendly features, the Epson Stylus Photo RX650 is reasonably priced for a multifunctional printer.
