Canon Selphy CP760

The latest addition to Canon's Selphy line of portable photo printers, the CP760, is an excellent option for quickly printing pics while on the move. The quality of the produced photos is excellent overall, and the printer handles a wide range of colours with precise detail

Epson Stylus D120

Although multifunction devices seem to be all the rage these days, there's still room for low-cost single-function printers designed to do one thing well -- print. The Epson Stylus D120 falls into this category, delivering above average, durable prints and documents

Canon Pixma iP2600

Canon's inkjet photo printer for users on a budget, the Pixma iP2600 lacks a PictBridge port and a memory card slot, but makes up for it with a sleek design, competitive print speeds and bold, crisp prints. It's a cost-effective printer for text and amateur photo printing

Samsung ML-1630

The Samsung ML-1630 is the first real attempt at making printers look sexy. Its sleek, piano-black finish, gorgeous blue lights and split-level design make it into one of the most attractive printers we've seen. With touch-sensitive buttons completing the package, you've got yourself one sleek machine

HP Photosmart A826

The HP Photosmart A826's large size and extra big touchscreen make using it a pleasure. It's easy to produce a variety of prints with fast print speed and wealth of features. If you're an avid snapshooter and like to have prints of everything you produce, it should keep you happy

Kodak EasyShare 5300

Anyone who is frustrated with the high cost of printer cartridges will appreciate the Kodak EasyShare 5300's affordable consumables -- its speed and print quality are pretty impressive, too

Lexmark Z1420

The key feature of this inexpensive colour printer is its ability to print wirelessly out of the box -- surprising for an entry-level inkjet and a boon for homes with multiple users. It prints quickly for a machine in this price range, too

HP Photosmart D7160

HP's Photosmart D7160 produces excellent text prints and quality photo prints. It's not the speediest printer on the market but it's a good all-rounder and will meet the needs of most casual home users

Lexmark Z845

The Lexmark Z845 is a basic A3 colour printer. Whether printing text, graphics or photos, the print speeds and quality are good but not great -- about what you'd expect from a £60 printer

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

Epson PictureMate 240

Epson's compact inkjet photo-printer offers impressive print speeds and a good range of photo enhancement features. Users can manually adjust settings such as sharpness, brightness and saturation, add frames, correct red eye and crop photos directly on the printer

Editor's rating 7.4

Samsung CLP-300

Samsung's CLP-300's tiny dimensions are impressive -- it's touted as the smallest colour laser printer in the world. Its feature set will not satisfy those looking to print large amounts, nor will the quality please designers or those with an eye for detail, but if you're looking for an affordable colour laser for light home use, this is ideal

Canon Pixma iP1700

At under £40, the Pixma iP1700 is a bargain. It produces high-quality photos, but its lack of features will leave photo hobbyists hankering for more. If your photo-printing needs are basic and you don't mind printing exclusively from your PC, the Pixma iP1700 is a steal

HP Deskjet 6940

The HP Deskjet 6940 is a basic colour inkjet printer designed for home and small-office users who have low-volume printing needs, but may want to print the occasional snapshot. Its price, features, no-fuss design and print quality make it a great printer for students or anyone on a budget

Samsung SPP-2040 photo printer

With its good-looking 100x150mm dye-sub prints, compact chassis, easy standalone operation and multiple connectivity options, the Samsung SPP-2040 is a photo printer you'll be tempted to carry with you everywhere -- but you'll need a good-sized bag

Editor's rating 6.8

HP Photosmart 8250

Although it functions serviceably as a speedy text printer, the HP Photosmart 8250's real strength is as a personal photo lab. In addition to working with a computer, the HP Photosmart 8250 prints directly from many digital cameras and most common memory cards. With an optional Bluetooth adaptor, you can also print from camera phones and PDAs.

Samsung SPP-2020

Samsung's printer offers truly excellent quality prints for a reasonable price, it's easy to use, and it's very well designed. Plus it's a treat having it on your desk, with its Apple-esque looks and entertaining printing motion

Canon Pixma iP6600D

A large 89mm LCD screen, a built-in card reader, good photo output and duplex printing of up to 300 sheets between refills make the 9,600x2,400dpi iP6600D a solid fit for digital camera owners who prize versatility and convenience, but slow printing and poor text quality will limit its appeal

Canon Selphy DS810

The Canon Selphy DS810 is easy enough to use and with it's certainly one of the more economic printers on the market. Its print quality is somewhat below outstanding, but it's a well designed, quick and efficient printer from a reliable stable
