HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer

This HP AIO is a good performer and should satisfy most home/small business users.

Sleek design ; dual paper tray ; responsive touchscreen ; speedy performance ; good-quality prints

No CompactFlash card slot ; side buttons don't respond as well as touchscreen ; Wi-Fi setup can be confusing

The front of the machine has a simplistic design with minimal buttons. This is because most of the navigation tools are relegated to the touch-sensitive buttons or 3.45-inch color touchscreen (more about it later) on the front panel. At the bottom ...

Canon Pixma MX868

Canon Pixma MX868

By Justin Yu

The Canon Pixma MX868's automatic document feeder, large LCD screen, and quick print speeds are sure to increase your productivity, and it also includes plenty of software to nourish your creative interests.

Large 2.5-inch LCD ; built-in memory card reader ; stylish design ; robust software suite ; fast output

Output quality can be improved

Canon offers three different options for paper input but the easiest method is through the 150-sheet tray that pulls out from underneath the folding output bay. You can put another 150 sheets into the rear-loading cassette, and both trays have small ...

Lexmark X7675

Lexmark X7675 Pro

By Justin Yu

Aside from a few design hang-ups and a slower-than-average output speed, the Lexmark X7675 Pro All-In-One printer is a cut above other multifunctional printers.

Fuss-free Wi-Fi setup, excellent output quality ; easy-to-use onscreen controls

Slow print speeds require patience ; poorly designed output tray ; low-capacity automatic document feeder

The X7675 has a unique chassis design. Also, at 8.53kg, it is portable enough to shift it around the office

Brother MFC-990CW

Brother MFC-990CW

By Justin Yu

The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, capable All-In-One device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touchscreen and telephone/answering machine.

Triple-interface connectivity includes USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet LAN ; interactive 4.2-inch touchscreen LCD ; 5.8GHz digital handset and answering machine built-in ; inexpensive ; small and stylish

Slow print speed ; suffers the same mechanical errors affecting other Brother printers ; ships with starter ink cartridges

The control panel occupies the majority of real estate on the printer's exterior, and the main cutout prominently displays a large 4.2-inch touchscreen color LCD display, four feature shortcut buttons (with a fourth button labeled Photo Capture that ...

HP Officejet Pro 8500

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 All-In-One Wireless

By Justin Yu

Award: Editor's Choice!

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-In-One Wireless makes a convincing inkjet argument for offices with a high volume of prints. Besides a touchscreen, the inkbox has also multiple networking options and an astoundingly fast print speed.

Auto duplexer ; automatic document feeder ; easy-to-use 3.45-inch LCD touchscreen ; painless 802.11b/g wireless setup ; industry-leading print speeds ; excellent quality prints

Lacks autodial fax buttons, Bluetooth, and a dual paper input tray

The Pro 8500 retains the matte white and gray panels with a glossy black cockpit in the center that blends easily into a variety of decors

Canon Pixma MP988

Canon Pixma MP988

By Justin Yu

The Canon Pixma MP988 multifunction printer is a step up from its predecessor, but the print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition.

Poor print quality ; expensive ; no fax machine ; flimsy paper cassette ; slow text output speed ; unreliable wireless performance

Poor print quality ; expensive ; no fax machine ; flimsy paper cassette ; slow text output speed ; unreliable wireless performance

HP Officejet J6480

HP OfficeJet J6480

The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features rarely found in this price range. Shoppers looking for an all-inclusive multifunctional unit will be impressed with the robust hardware and rich print quality.

Auto-duplex printing ; automatic document feeder ; Optical Character Recognition scanner ; painless 802.11g wireless setup ; excellent quality text, graphics, and photo prints

No PictBridge support ; only three autodial fax buttons ; slower-than-average photo prints

Canon Pixma MX338

Canon Pixma MX338

By Justin Yu

The Canon Pixma MX338 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-S$300 category.

Inexpensive ; includes automatic document feeder ; robust software suite ; 1.8-inch LCD ; small footprint

Spotty output quality ; lacks media card reader

The MX338 has a nice 1.8-inch LCD which is useful for navigating menus
