HP C4480 Printer - Great all-rounder

Advantages: High text and image print quality; prints, scans and copies; good value for money
Disadvantages: Not got wireless; software is a bit complicated

...simple - this printer takes HP 350 black ink cartridges, and HP 351 tri-colour ink cartridges. These are also available in 'XL' sizes, which provide a lot more ink for your money - really good value. Special HP 348 photo cartridges are also available, for those wanting to print high-quality images. The front flap folds in completely flush with the rest of the printer, which is great for saving space when it's out of use. Whilst the printer offers ...
...I personally really need. HP is a really reliable brand, who offers good customer support should you experience any problems. In all, this is a brilliant, compact printer, which does everything you might want it to. And, for the price, you could not get much better. Mine has coped well with quite heavy use, proving it is reliable. Print quality is great, and it is so quick and easy to use. I recommend this printer for anyone wanting to print high-quality ...

Review of HP Photosmart C4480

HP C8180

Advantages: Wireless
Disadvantages: None!

The PhotoSmart C8180 is the most complete AIO I have had the pleasure to use. The CD/DVD burner is a stroke of genius; it makes an already compelling product groundbreaking. The moment I saw the drive in the printer I hoped it would work the way I envisioned, and it does! Wireless, networkable, CD/DVD burner, scanner, copier, printer and a revolutionary touch screen interface; that bar I spoke of earlier has reached new heights. Quickly store photos ...

Review of HP Photosmart C8180

HP Photosmart C 7280

Advantages: Great quality, connectivity
Disadvantages: Software

This is a great printer with many use fetures but the software is a bit frustrarting, especially if you are just trying to print one page. The printer gives professional quality from photos even if you are using one of the built in memory card slots or if you are printing from a computer. The quality is stunning for an inkjet printer and although it is a big printer it is worth it. The photocopier is exceptional and the Automatic Document Feed is ...
...at home. the small screen is perfect for previewing photos and the two paper trays (one for A4 and the other for photo paper) are neatly slotted under the machine. This printer is easy to use but the software can be a bit fiddly. This printer is definately great value for money and i would recommend to all who need a printer or fax machine and everything else in one effcient and cost effective bundle. P.S please leave a comment so I can improve ...

Review of Hewlett-Packard C7280 All-in-One

Cheap and cheerful - just like your girlfriend

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: slow to print

I was blessed to buy this printer for just £10 from Staples, when bought with a £10 pack of paper. However, it normally retails at £35. It's a printer, scanner and copier in one. First impressions are on how bulky it is, and how cheap it looks; it's definitely a budget end product, all plastic flaps. It looks a bit like a cool box or a lunch box, and it certainly isn't sleek or designer cool. I was delighted to see it is very easy to set up, with ...
...seven steps and away you go. In terms of the scanner and copier, it works as a standalone unit which is pretty cool. As a printer, you simply install it with the CD and it works like any other printer. It says it has a special ink dispenser gadget that saves ink, but I can't really comment as I've not had it long enough to run out. In terms of printing, it's as good as anything I've ever used, creating crisp prints. My computer friend told me the ...

Buy The Kodak ESP 5250 - Save Money & Get Great Photos

Advantages: Ultra Simple Set Up, Cheap Running Costs, Nice Looking Unit, Great Scanner Software
Disadvantages: Noisy at start up

...was sceptical about buying a Kodak ESP as although the promise of extremely cheap printing is a big draw I had read a few horror stories but I decided to buy one after a bit more reading and I must say I’m really impressed. I wouldn't say I’m a heavy print user but I do print a few documents out for work every week and my partner prints photos quite often too. The easy set up and usage is something I haven't been use to with printers but the ESP ...
...loading and the software was installed and ready to go after 5 minutes. My partner is also tends to get into trouble with things like this as beyond Facebook she is a bit of a worry with these sorts of things but I can leave her, on her own to select and print photos and I haven't yet had to come and help her. The ink does seem to go very far and for £17 for a full refill of black and colour, that is nothing to grumble at. Best results do some with ...
