Epson's Artisan 810 color inkjet multifunction printer has speed and versatility to spare. Considering the price, however, we expected better overall output quality.

Low black-ink cost; very fast; skin tones on glossy paper are realistic

Plain-paper print quality is grainy; input trays are flimsy

Though the Artisan 810's text-printing speed was just average at about 7.3 pages per minute, it finished at or near the top in all of our other print, scan, and copy speed tests. The output quality was less stellar. On Epson's own photo paper, flesh ...

This multifunction device has one truly new feature: the ability to access Web-based applications for viewing and printing items on the machine.

Web applications show potential; automatic duplexer is standard; good image quality

Web and touchscreen features have a few hiccups; print apps has limited functionality

As a traditional MFP, the TouchSmart performed competently in our tests. Using default settings, it printed plain text and graphics at better-than-average speeds of 8 pages per minute and 3.7 ppm, respectively. (HP's specs of 33 ppm for text and 32 ...

This compact photo printer looks like a bulky, awkward piece of printing equipment, with an unnecessarily large display screen. Given a few more minutes with it, however, and the ease, speed, and quality at which it prints will make up for its ...

Although its ability to function as a photo frame makes the PictureMate Show stand out among other Epson photo printers, its screen poses a bit of a Goldilocks conundrum—it's unnecessarily too big to serve as the printer's photo control panel screen, ...

Epson's PictureMate Dash PM 260 snapshot printer may look like a glorified lunch box, but it delivers where it counts.

Fast; large, tiltable LCD; reasonable cost per print

Photos look universally pale

The boxy unit's lid protects the LCD and control panel when it's closed; when it's open, it acts as the input tray. Push gently on the front panel to make it fall open as the output tray (and reveal the two media slots for most major formats). A ...

HP's Photosmart A646 compact photo printer offers a few surprising features for its midrange price.

Color touchscreen LCD; versatile paper handling; editing options

No battery option; orangey flesh tones

The Photosmart A646 has some impressive features. Most snapshot printers take only one size of media, but the Photosmart A646 accepts three: 4 by 6 inches (the size of our test photos), 4 by 12 inches (panoramic), and 5 by 7 inches. On the inside ...

Need a printer, scanner, and copier for your home office or small business? Here's a look at the MFPs we've reviewed in 2009.

This printer has the speed and generous paper handling that workgroups need, but its toner could be cheaper.

Includes autoduplexer; faster-than-average text speed

Lacks ethernet connectivity; subpar print quality for graphics

The P3015d performed speedily in our tests. It managed a top pace of 36.5 pages per minute printing plain text, shy of HP's claim of 42 ppm, but still quite fast. Printing a one-page text document took about 10 seconds on average and printing a 10 ...

The Epson PictureMate Charm PM 225 is not as versatile as other snapshot-printer contenders, but it functions well at what it does. It's also cheap to buy and refill, which is a trade-off worth considering.

Easy to use; affordable ink and paper packs

Print speeds are on the slow side

The PictureMate Charm required anywhere from 54 to 70 seconds to print each of our 4-by-6-inch test prints, but they were worth the wait. It produced flesh tones that looked healthy and normal, it handled both fast-motion and landscape shots with ...

The Selphy CP780 is an inexpensive and nearly idiot-proof snapshot printer, but you make major compromises in performance and price per page.

Easy to use

Slow; kludgy paper-tray design; wasteful consumables

Aimed at the family market, the compact Selphy CP780 comes in three colors (blue, pink, or silver) and can function with or without a computer. A 2.5-inch color LCD and oversize, intuitively labeled control buttons take you through simple editing and ...
