Review: A good picture is just one part of the story. A photo printer that is capable of giving life to these pictures is another. The Canon PIXMA MG5420 is easily one of these printers, delivering top-quality, stunning prints and texts. Featuring 9600 x 2400 maximum color dpi and ChromaLife100+, users would see the notable difference between its output and that of other printers. Amazing detail is to be expected. Speed is also one of the MG5420’s strongest points, able to print a 4" x 6" borderless photo in just 20 seconds and documents at 15.0 images per minute for black and 10.0 images per minute for color. The Canon PIXMA MG5420 has a Scroll Wheel and a 3.0" LCD for a speedy operation. Quick Start even reduces start-up time substantially. The printer features two-sided printing but since it lacks an automatic document printer, this may mean that duplex printing is pretty manual and time-consuming. The MG5420 can hold 125 Sheets, making it ideal only for light use. On the other hand, its design and overall measurements are both great for home and cramped settings. Since it is a wireless printer, a separate USB cable might be needed if you still have plans to go wired. In terms of operating system compatibility, it works well with Windows 8, RT, 7, Vista, XP and Mac OS X v10.5.8, 10.6 and 10.7. iPad, iPhone or iPod touch owners, Android users and digital camera owners would be glad that the printer supports AirPrint, Mobile printing and PictBridge for printing photos off your devices in just a few clicks and without the need for a PC. There’s a great number of programs, designed to enhance usability and ease of use, starting from My Image Garden which puts your organizational skills into good use, Full HD Movie Print software that allows you to print scenes from your video clips, Auto Photo Fix II for simple photo editing or correction, Fun Filter Effects for entertaining prints and Easy-WebPrint EX for printing web pages easily. Printing CD and DVD labels is likewise possible and a piece of cake to do after program installation.

Review: Space is such a premium in home office and small office setups that many business owners turn to multifunction devices designed to perform a lot of tasks without consuming much real estate. This is the main reason why All-in-One printers like the Canon PIXMA MX892 Wireless Office All-in-One have taken a huge slice of the market, as it offers the core functions – plus a little bit more - of all-in-ones at a more compact size. To begin with, the PIXMA MX892 has an inkjet printer system that makes use of five instead of the usual four-color ink tanks. Although the addition of the extra tank (a pigment black ink) may seem like just another expense on the part of the user, it does have its benefit in that it allows the PIXMA MX892 to print photos that rival those from an actual dedicated photo printer. The excellent photo printing capabilities of the MX892 are enhanced further by its native 9600 X 2400 resolution for brilliant photos every time. However, not all offices require excellent images, instead focusing on speed and productivity to create and transmit different kinds of documents that are mostly text-based. For this, the Canon PIXMA MX892 offers exceptional paper handling for documents, with decent printing and copying speeds. This MFP has a fully-integrated automatic document feeder that works in close conjunction with the main functions of the all-in-one with the added bonus of auto duplex printing, and two-way paper loading from either the front cassette or rear tray. The Canon MX892’s scanning and fax functions are likewise suited for small-office needs, and, as mentioned, work closely with the ADF at the top of the printer. Like other MFPs, the MX892 has the actual flatbed scanner underneath the main cover, and can work with paper sizes up to 8.5 X 14 inches. Printing directly from storage media is pretty much standard issue among printers nowadays, and the Canon MX892 is no exception to this rule. USB ports for flash drives, an array of different memory card slot sizes, and a PictBridge input to get images directly from digital cameras are among the input choices available on this printer. Finally, you can even get the optional Bluetooth dongle for the MX892 to allow wireless printing from other devices. Canon’s MX892 has three connection options available. USB, Ethernet, and 802.11 wireless b/g/n for sharing on a network. As a bonus, the wireless connectivity of this printer opens up some more sources for pictures and other documents, since it supports both Apple’s AirPrint and Google’s CloudPrint services, letting you print anything you like from anywhere. If you use the EasyPhoto-Print app for Apple devices, you can even print wirelessly direct from the device. The Canon PIXMA MX892 has a nice exterior in glossy black, with the top part having a matte complement. The centerpiece of this handsome machine, however, is the dual-function control panel with a 3-inch LCD screen. The control panel, which remains dark when the MX892 is idle, lights up with a unique backlight that changes depending on the function that you select using the keys on its left side. On the other hand, the LCD screen comes in handy when printing directly from storage media, letting you preview images beforehand. There are a lot of things to like about the Canon PIXMA MX892 Wireless Office All-in-One Printer, but what doesn’t really work that well is how, like other inkjets, it tends to consume a lot of ink. Considering that you need to buy an extra tank of black and that the MX892 won’t work when even one of the tanks run dry, you may end up buying more tanks just to be able to use the printer. Furthermore, the MX892 won’t be breaking any print speed records anytime soon, as it does take a long time to get to actual printing, especially coming from a cold boot. However, the performance and space-saving tradeoff may make a compelling case for this all-in-one.

Review: With office-centric features, the Canon PIXMA MG6320 is a worthy purchase. It can scan up to 8.5" x 11.7" documents with a maximum optical resolution of 2400 x 4800 dpi, produce copies in just 14 seconds and print on plain paper, photo paper, U.S.# 10 Envelopes or even on printable CDs ,DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. Printing is totally seamless, featuring both wired and wireless connectivity, and print quality is above par too, producing sharp images and lifelike colors. It is not that uncommon for all-in-one printers to support mobile printing but the MG6320 has a lengthy list of devices that it can recognize. You can print documents and photos from your iPhones, iPods and other mobile devices, either through AirPrint or Google Cloud Print. The built-in card slot supports SD, SDHC, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, MultiMediaCard, MultiMediaCard Plus, CompactFlash and Microdrive, as well as other media cards with the use of an optional adapter. The MG6320 adds gray ink to the usual 5-ink color system of most printers, making printed images look more realistic. It can be quite an ink hog though so remember to have extra cartridges on stock for printing heavy loads. Also, it is not as quiet as we would’ve liked but that is just a minor quibble for such an amazing printer. If you’re a tablet or smartphone user, you will be right at home with its responsive 3.5" LCD Touch Screen. Having both wired and wireless interfaces and offering full compatibility with most operating systems including Windows 8, RT, 7, Vista, XP and Mac OS X v10.5.8, 10.6 and 10.7, the printer should not give you any problems with regards to set-up. An impressive software suite even provides a fun printing experience. Lastly, the Canon PIXMA MG6320 is a real beauty but rather bulky at 18.4" (W) x 14.6" (D) x 5.9" (H).

Review: The Epson Artisan 50 is a fairly priced printer that can produce crisp, fade-resistant photos and print on printable CDs/DVDs at the same time. It utilizes 6-color Claria Hi-Definition dye ink which greatly extends the life of your prints. The 6 individual ink cartridges also enable you to control your ink usage by allowing you to replace only a single color and not the entire ink cartridge. The ink cartridges are a little on the pricey side but it ensure longer lasting and stunning images. Whether you want to print on glossy, semi-glossy or matte paper, you can throw all your worries away as this photo printer does its job well, regardless of the paper type. It can accommodate up to 8.5" x 44" plain paper and various borderless sizes including 4" x 6", 5" x 7", 8" x 10" and 8.5" x 11". It also features Manual 2-sided printing and Auto Photo Correction with red-eye removal. The input tray has a 120-sheet plain paper capacity and it can also hold up to 20 sheets of Premium Photo Paper Glossy. With ISO print speeds of 4.8 ppm black, 5 ppm color and 11 seconds for 4" x 6" Borderless Photo, speed is relatively faster than other photo printers in the same price range. Setting up the Epson Artisan 50 is a cinch to do. However, it doesn't come with a USB cable so you need to purchase one separately as it is required for installation. As for compatibility, there should be no issues because it supports major operating systems including Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows XP x64, Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4.11, 10.5.x and 10.6.x. Overall, it is ideal for those who are looking for an efficient printer for home or office use. Its high quality output and excellent functionality make up for its lack of LCD display and USB cable.

Review: The biggest advantage of the Canon Pixma IP100 is its high compatibility with the mobile lifestyle. The extremely compact form factor of this printer, which is about the size of a notebook PC, means that it's very easy to slip into your laptop bag for on-the-go printing. The folding paper tray holds 50 sheets of paper and the print head system is based on the patented nozzle technology that delivers a high-speed (20 pages a minute for black, 14 for color) and high resolution (600 X 600 DPI black, 9600 X 2400 color) printout. The specific type of cartridge that it uses has the nozzles built into the cartridge body, so it's recommended to stock up on ink if you expect to go somewhere where that particular cartridge may be hard to find. The printer offers two ways to save on ink, though: By reducing the amount of black ink and by printing in a composite of the three other colors to form black. It also has a basic color correction function if you need one. For a mobile printer, the Canon Pixma IP100 inkjet printer does not offer the current standard for wireless connectivity, 802.11. Rather, it uses a USB connection to connect to a computer. Working with media stored on memory cards may be a problem too as it does not have compatible ports for those. It does have a PictBridge connection for digital cameras, though. A Bluetooth interface is available but a separate adapter is needed to access that feature. We would have liked that instead of the available IrDA (infrared) capability, as the former is much more common on mobile devices nowadays. Finally, the IP100 runs on AC power but a DC backup power brick is also available.

Review: Lab-quality photo prints without having to go to a developing service? You can now do that in the confines of your home or office with the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Wide Format Printer. This remarkable machine produces archival-quality prints on a wide variety of media using pigment ink cartridges, bringing your ideas to life in vivid, stunning color. The Epson R2000 utilizes a combination of eight UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 ink tanks, dispensed by a MicroPiezo ink head. The ink particles dry instantaneously on contact with media, preventing smudging, and have high stability for longer-lasting, fade-proof prints. In addition, the cartridges have larger ink capacities than ordinary printers, so you get more printouts for every change of cartridge. The cartridge set includes red and orange inks for wider color ranges, photo and matte black inks for bolder and darker shadows, and a gloss optimizer ink cartridge. At thirteen inches, the footprint of the R2000 may make it a tight fit in narrow workspaces, but it allows this printer to work with a larger selection of media than the usual. Aside from single sheets, it can print on special media like paper rolls, inkjet-printable compact disks, canvas and even boards up to 1.3mm thick. It can connect to a computer via an 802.11n wireless connection, allowing the printer to be placed in a location that is less cramped. Another great thing about the wireless connection on the Epson R2000 is that it is very easy to set up, reducing the hassle commonly associated with first-time installations. If that's not enough for you, additional connection options in the form of USB and Ethernet ports are likewise built into the printer. As with any other photo printer, the quality of the printout it produces depends on the quality of the paper used. While the printer does indeed print spectacular photos, it may need specialty media to guarantee the best results. Special photo paper is often expensive though, so you may want to consider that before getting the printer. Furthermore, the gloss optimizer ink cartridge runs out faster when printing on special media, adding to the future costs of the printer. However, for a printer that delivers professional quality but keeps budget as a consideration, the Epson R2000 definitely takes top honors.
