Canon PIXMA iP1800 Review
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007The Canon Pixma iP1800 is an entry-level, photo-oriented, single-function printer, and is the successor to the Pixma iP1700. For $50, you get a basic inkjet printer capable of printing decent-quality documents and photos. Though it lacks photo-oriented features such as media card readers and a PictBridge port (not surprising, considering the price), it does come [...]
Dell 1720 Mono Laser Printer Review
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007The Dell 1720dn is a low-cost mono laser printer that provides fast, high-quality prints for small offices or work groups. For $300, you get a built-in duplexer and Ethernet networking, as well as low print costs. The $350 Samsung ML-3051ND offers the same print quality but faster text prints (and slightly slower graphics prints), a [...]
HP Officejet J5780 Review
Monday, November 26th, 2007The HP Officejet J5780 is an inexpensive multifunction inkjet printer that’s suitable for a home office with light printing needs.

Canon ImageClass MP4690 Review
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007The Canon ImageClass MF4690 has all the trappings of a great small office printer. This multifunction laser printer is network-ready, offers lots of attractive features for work groups, and is reasonably priced at $400. Unfortunately for Canon, the Dell 1815dn offers the same feature set and faster prints for the same $400. The one advantage [...]
HP Officejet Pro L7680 Printer Review
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007The HP Officejet Pro L7500/L7600/L7700 is a new office-oriented inkjet series of all-in-one printers that boasts fast print speeds, high-quality prints, and lots of features. We reviewed the L7680 model, which is a step up from the L7580 base model, but its print speeds and quality are representative of all three members of the series [...]
HP Photosmart C6180 Printer Review
Sunday, November 18th, 2007The $300 HP Photosmart C6180 is a photo printer by name but has office-printer tendencies by function. The inclusion of an automatic document feeder, built-in networking (including wireless), and fax functionality make it attractive as an office printer, but its task speeds are too slow for all but the smallest offices. It offers great print [...]
