Inkjet Printers

HP Deskjet D1660

Despite costing the same as a generous round of drinks, the tiny, no-frills Deskjet D1660 colour inkjet printer produces excellent text results and handles simple graphics well. Its photo prints aren't up to the quality of its text output, but they're not bad either, and you can't expect too much at this price

Brother MFC-3360C

The Brother MFC-3360C may look like it belongs in a Michael J Fox film from the '80s, and it's not the fastest printer you can get your hands on, but it produces decent-quality prints. Besides bearing an affordable price tag, it's also fairly compact and doesn't make much noise

HP Photosmart A636

The HP Photosmart A636 is a great compact inkjet photo printer. Its print speed isn't anything special, but it produces good-quality prints, is extremely easy to use, boasts a 122mm colour touchscreen and offers tonnes of editing options. It all comes in an attractive body too

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

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

Editor's rating 6.1

Canon Pixma iP90v

The Canon Pixma iP90v is a compact printer, small enough to slip into a laptop bag, for printing from practically anywhere. It's pretty pricey, especially with the add-ons, but if you simply must have a tiny inkjet, you'll be pleased with its print speeds and quality

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

Editor's rating 6.0

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

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

Editor's rating 6.6

HP Deskjet 6940

Canon Pixma iP90

The Canon Pixma iP90 is a sleek, lightweight, go-anywhere portable inkjet printer that creates full-size documents and colour graphics, as well as 100x150mm (4x6-inch) colour photographs.

Editor's rating 7.5

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.

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
