Oki C3600

The Oki C3600 isn't packed with features and it's not the smallest or lightest colour laser printer we've come across. But it compensates for that by producing high-quality prints at a swift rate, making it one of the best machines of its type on the market

Lexmark X7675

The X7675 all-in-one printer is slower than other multi-function printers and suffers from a few design flaws. But these problems are adequately compensated for by its straightforward operation, painless Wi-Fi set-up and excellent output quality. It's one of our favourite devices of its kind

Canon Pixma Pro9000

With more and more high-resolution cameras around, it's becoming more common for people to print large photos at home. If you want those big prints to look good, that means buying a medium-format printer, such as Canon's eight-ink dye-based Pixma Pro9000

Lexmark X502n

The Lexmark X502n is a printer, scanner, photocopier and fax machine in one. It is missing some advanced fax features, but if you can live without those it should please you, delivering high-quality prints at very fast speeds

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

Lexmark C530dn

A fast, high-quality colour laser printer with a built-in duplexer for automatic double-sided printing, the C530dn and its siblings, the C532n and C532dn, offer reduced power consumption and material waste -- which benefits both your bank balance and the environment

Samsung ML-3051ND

The Samsung ML-3051ND straddles the gap between an über-expensive office laser printer and a personal laser printer, both in terms of features and price. For around £250, you get a network-ready mono printer with versatile paper-handling options, expandable memory, a built-in duplexer and high-quality prints

Dell Colour Laser Printer 3110cn

Aimed primarily at small to mid-sized workgroups, the £270 3110cn promises ease of use, low maintenance, low running costs and plenty of upgrading flexibility. It won't win any design awards, but it's built to keep going and with its networking ability it should appeal to a wide range of users

Editor's rating 8.2

Oki C3400n

At around £320 the Oki C3400n colour laser printer won't break the bank in terms of upfront cost and the cost of mono prints, but as with most colour laser printers, the cost of colour prints will eventually add up. However, if you're a small-office user looking for a fast performer with good-quality prints, the Oki C3400n is a good choice

Editor's rating 6.0

Dell 1815dn

The 1815dn is quite a deal, considering it prints (in monochrome), scans, faxes and copies, comes with a built-in duplexer, is network ready, and prints black text at nearly 18 pages per minute. It even has a built-in USB port for scanning to or printing from a USB flash drive

Editor's rating 7.5

Lexmark C500n Color Laser Printer

The Lexmark C500n is a basic, single-function colour laser printer geared for small offices and home offices. At £250, it seems expensive for a single-function machine, but the C500n's fast print speeds and network-readiness make it a good addition for offices that have high-volume text printing needs

Editor's rating 7.1

HP Color LaserJet 3600n

Good value for a workgroup network colour laser printer, the 3600n comes with well-filled cartridges and is efficient with its ink. The design couldn't make jam-clearing and maintenance any easier, but its text quality leaves something to be desired and its expandability options are limited

Editor's rating 6.6

Xerox Phaser 8500N

The Xerox Phaser 8500N has nearly everything a colour business printer should, including speed, solid network handling and add-ons for paper capacity and memory, but it uses an innovative drum-based system that liquefies solid blocks of ink, making colour printing faster and cheaper, although not quite as good quality
