Lexmark X9575

Lexmark X9575 Professional

By Melissa Riofrio

Lexmark has started to come of age lately, with a range of printers getting respectable scores. Could this model continue the trend? We take a look at another decent Lexmark, but wonder about the running costs.

Built in WiFi, great printing quality

Expensive to buy replacement inks

Small businesses and home offices looking for a truly versatile multifunction printer will find a good candidate in the Lexmark X9575 Professional.

OKI C9650N

OKI C9650N

By Rob Henry

Like the rest of the printers in our group test, the OKI C9650N is marketed as a one-stop solution for in-house printing of both business documents and artwork. To that end, OKI has gone to a great deal of trouble to ensure that it meets the needs of its...

Handles media up to 300gsm, banner printing, pretty respectable colour print speed

Utilities are Carbon apps for PowerPC, and are a little processor-hungry in operation

If LED printers can be claimed to be speedier, the trade-off is that, due to physical limitations - you can only cram a finite number of LEDs into a printhead array - definition tends to suffer in fine print. The C95650N bore this out on examination of ou...

Canon LBP5960

Canon LBP5960

By Rob Henry

Macworld takes a look at six of the best A3 colour laser printers. Discover which one offers the best quality for your cash.

Plenty of finishing options available, good all-round performer, casing can take a few hard knocks

Network configuration is a little tricky, low maximum memory, drum units are pricey

Toners are inserted into slots under the top cover of the LBP5960 - handy for those who might have back problems. Toner life is a not exactly spectacular: 6,000 pages for colour and 10,000 for black, though toner and drum unit are separate items, which me...

Lexmark C 935dn

Lexmark C935DN

By Rob Henry

Macworld takes a look at six of the best A3 colour laser printers. Discover which one offers the best quality for your cash.

Fastest on test for mono printing, Gigabit Ethernet included as standard

Replacement of consumables potentially very messy, colour reproduction was a little muddy

If we sound a little less than wholly enthusiastic about the Lexmark, it is by no means intended as a slight. However, there were a few shortcomings that needed addressing before the C935DN could be recommended.

HP Color LaserJet 5550DN

HP LaserJet 5550DN

By Rob Henry

Macworld takes a look at six of the best A3 colour laser printers. Discover which one offers the best quality for your cash.

Easy network setup using Bonjour, works with both Classic and Mac OS X, plenty of upgrade options

Memory as supplied in base unit insufficient to handle some jobs, LCD status panel not very informative

However, the big shock came with our next test: uniquely among our batch of test printers, the HP balked at our PDF image file. In three attempts, at both A3 and A4, all we could elicit from the printer was the message that there was 'insufficient memory'...

Xerox Phaser 7400

Xerox Phaser 7400

By Rob Henry

So what of those features that, in Xerox's words, "enhance the customer experience"? Well, we have to say that the front LCD panel on the Phaser 7400 is one of the clearest and most informative we've seen; by comparison, the OKI's was a little limited in...

Second-fastest mono document printing on test, clear and informative front panel display

Utilities built for PowerPC applications which leads to inefficient processor use

Comparison with the C9650N in our Word document print-speed test was instructive: the Xerox managed 50 pages in an average 1 minute 25.74 seconds, which translates to just under 35 pages per minute. We had slight reservations about sharpness at small font...

HP Photosmart C6280

HP PhotoSmart C6280

By Cliff Joseph

Multifunction Printers offer impressive print quality, and require less space than a separate scanner, printer and fax. Macworld takes a look at six of the best.

Solidly built printer that provides good performance and quality, along with good Mac support

Colours on photo prints could be bolder, as manually adjusting colour settings soon becomes a chore

There's a little room for improvement in photo-print quality, but even so, the PhotoSmart's all-round performance, quality and good Mac support make it a good choice for anyone that needs a reliable, high-quality printer for their office.

Epson Stylus Photo RX585

Epson Stylus Photo RX585

By Cliff Joseph

The RX585 is the more expensive of the two Epson printers reviewed here, but at £129.99 is still affordable enough for most home users

Very good photo-printing quality, with bold colours and fine detail, affordable inks will also appeal to home users

The printer driver software is too inflexible and needs to provide more freedom for adjusting quality and speed settings

The inflexible printer driver and relatively low speed are a bit disappointing, but the RX585's impressive quality do make it a good choice for photo-hobbyists.

Epson Stylus DX8400

Epson Stylus DX8400

By Cliff Joseph

Multifunction Printers offer impressive print quality, and require less space than a separate scanner, printer and fax. Macworld takes a look at six of the best.

Very affordable multi-function printer that provides high-quality photo printing, as well as scanning and copying at an attractive price

The relatively poor printing speeds and lightweight construction mean that the DX8400 is best suited to relatively light workloads

The print quality offered by the Stylus DX8400 really is impressive for a printer that comes in at just under £100, so it's certainly worth considering for home users who are on a tight budget. However, it's relatively slow printing speed means that it's

Lexmark X4850

Lexmark X4850

By Cliff Joseph

Multifunction Printers offer impressive print quality, and require less space than a separate scanner, printer and fax. Macworld takes a look at six of the best.

Good performance and print quality, as well as wireless networking and double-sided printing at a very competitive price

Four-colour printing lacks the subtle tones of six-colour rivals, relatively low scanning resolution

However, if your emphasis is on photo-printing then you might be prepared to trade in features such as the wireless networking for that little extra print quality that is offered by its six-colour rivals.
