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.

Considering the extensive range of consumables, from paper to cartridges, it's no surprise that printers are one of the big areas where environmental concerns take centre stage. So what can you do to lessen the impact that your printing has on the environment?

Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Canon Pixma iP4200

    Autoduplexing, multiple input options, and acceptable photo and text quality make the Canon Pixma iP4200 a versatile choice for home and small-office users who aren't in a hurry.

  • HP Photosmart 8230

    Aiming at the world's fastest photo printer title, the HP Photosmart 8230 can pump out a 4 x 6 inch colour print in as little as 14 seconds.
