- Lexmark Platinum Pro 905
- Businesses shopping for a new multifunction printer already have enough decisions to make without throwing a touch-screen option into the mix, but most of the big printer vendors already have models with one or one in the works. We've reviewed the Brother MFC-990CW and the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless,...

- Canon PIXMA MX860 - multifunction ( fax / copier / printer / scanner ) ( color )
- Take the minimalist design of the Canon Pixma MX330, add the functionality of the Canon Pixma MX7600, finish it off with built-in Wi-Fi, and you've got the Canon Pixma MX860. It's the only printer in the series that offers wireless while still maintaining all the features you need to print,...

- Fed employees throw out millions of pages every day
- Check it out: The Washington Times reports that a full third of the printing performed by U.S. government employees is instantly tossed out or recycled. Raise your hand if you recall the tale of the $400 hammers, toilet seats, and ashtrays that were pressed into service during...

- Canon Pixma MP980
- The Canon Pixma MP980 is a capable all-in-one device that prints, faxes, and copies documents in full color 4,800x9,600-pixel resolution, thanks to a unique six color ink bay that includes a special gray cartridge for more distinct grayscale photo prints. The $300 MP980 lends a hand to amateur photo enthusiasts...

- HP Photosmart A636
- The $150 HP Photosmart A636 is a slight upgrade to last year's A626, with a few minor software differences. The A636 retains the same body shape and design but adds additional photo customization and editing capabilities. We didn't notice any significant change in print speed since the A626, but we...

- Canon Selphy CP770
- Editors' note: The CP770 uses the exact same printing technology as the previously reviewed CP760, so the performance tests and an explanation of dye-sub technology have been duplicated in this review as a result.The Canon CP770 is exactly the same printer as the CP760, with one distinction: the CP770 adds...

- SmartParts SP8PRT
- We've reviewed other digital photo frames in the past, but this is the first one we've seen from SmartParts and certainly the first one we've seen to include a built-in dye-sublimation printer. It's an interesting concept, but $300 is a lot to spend on what is essentially a digital photo...

- Canon Selphy CP760
- The CP760 is Canon's latest addition to their Selphy line of portable photo printers. This particular model is a no-frills, basic printer aimed at families, children, and otherwise nontechy folks who want to print their digital photos but don't care to deal with a desktop inkjet. We had a lot...

- Printing organs on demand?
- Every year, pharmaceutical companies invest many millions of dollars to test drugs that will never reach market while the number of patients waiting for organ transplants continues to increase. Would it be possible to create human tissues to help to solve both problems? A research team from the University of...

- Epson Stylus Photo R1900
- Advances in printer technology don't come along very frequently and tend to be less than earth shattering. Almost three years after Epson introduced the widely popular Stylus Photo R1800, they have released the Stylus Photo R1900, which brings along with it a new version of the company's pigment-based UltraChrome Hi-Gloss...

- Canon Pixma MP970
- The Canon Pixma MP970 is the 2007 refresh of last year's Pixma MP960. We were looking forward to a top-notch photo-oriented photo multifunction, as we've come to expect stellar quality from Canon, and we loved last year's version. Unfortunately, we were surprised to find slower task speeds and print quality...

- Canon Pixma MX700
- The Canon Pixma MX700 is a double threat of a multifunction inkjet, combining high-quality output with fast task speeds. Though it lacks some options that would make it even more compelling as an office workhorse--advanced fax features and a duplexer, to name two--when compared to other $200 office-oriented inkjet multifunctions...

- Canon Pixma iP4500
- The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a moderately expensive single-function printer designed for general home use. Unlike Canon's more photo-oriented single functions like the Pixma iP6700d, the $130 iP4500 lacks memory card slots and a preview LCD. The iP4500 is a step up from the recently reviewed iP3500; it offers faster...

- Canon Pixma Pro9000
- When most people talk about printers, they talk about them in terms of printing documents and Web pages, but with more and more high-resolution cameras around, it's becoming more common for people to print large photos at home. If you want those big prints to look nice, that means buying...

- Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One printer
- In its attempt to do everything, the $300 Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One printer fails to do any one thing well. To use some features of this multifunction inkjet is an exercise in frustration; other features, such as photo editing, are entirely lacking (instead, you have to turn to your PC...

- Canon Selphy CP740
- The $100 Canon Selphy CP740 is an entry-level compact photo printer whose limited on-board feature set reflects its relative position among dedicated 4x6 photo printers. Still, we liked the quality of the prints and the printer's ease of use. If you're looking for a dedicated snapshot printer and you're on...

- Epson Stylus Photo 1400
- It's been a long six years since Epson last updated the 13-inch dye-based model in its popular Stylus Photo line of photo printers. While the Stylus Photo 1280 remains a very popular printer, some of its specs feel a bit outdated. For example, the new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 can...

- Canon Pixma MP960
- The Canon Pixma MP960 replaces last year's Pixma MP950, and at $400, it is Canon's top-of-the-line photo all-in-one. For the hefty price tag, you get a multifunction that offers fast print speeds and a wealth of features including a built-in duplexer and a negative/slide scanner. If you're an amateur photo...

- Canon Pixma MP600
- The $200 Canon Pixma MP600 is the mini-me to the gargantuan $300 Pixma MP810. Its smaller form factor and price have no bearing on the print quality or print speed, though we found this printer to be reasonably fast (lightning fast, even, with photo printing), and the print quality impressed...
