Lexmark E352dn

The Lexmark E350 series fits the bill for a home user or a student who needs to crank out lots of text prints, and being a part of the company's ecofriendly line of printers, it's also a greener choice. It's very compact for a mono laser printer, and weighing in at a mere 11.3kg, it's not too heavy either

Canon Selphy ES1

When it comes to bright and vibrant colours there's little to touch the Canon Selphy ES1 at the moment. It takes just over a minute to produce a postcard-sized image -- not bad at all, especially when you see the quality. There's plenty of detail and blacks, and contrast levels are impressive
