If you plan on printing a lot of snapshots, you'll appreciate the R800's roll feeder; and as long as you stick with RGB files, the R800 will reward you with great-looking photo prints.

If it's compatible with your camera, the PictureMate is a good choice for affordable, top-quality snapshots.

This good little dye-sublimation printer allows you to view and arrange pictures on a TV screen and print directly from digital cameras.

For the money, the Oki B4350 provides fast printing and excellent text, with an LCD navigation display that makes it particularly easy to use.

The Lexmark T430dn prints clean text quickly enough to satisfy a small workgroup, but its graphics output looks dark and unrealistic.

Small size and a low price make the HP LaserJet 1020 a good fit for a home office in which space is at a premium and occasional printing jobs don't require the utmost in speed, quality and economy.

The HL-2070N is a well-built printer for small groups of low-volume users.

If your quantity and quality needs are modest, the Brother HL-2040's sticker price will make it at home on your desk.

While the initial outlay on the CAMEDIA P-10 is inexpensive, its running costs are higher than many Kodak and Canon printers and its print quality is not as good. However, it is a very neat unit, so if you're looking for something that won't take up to much space on your desk or bookshelf, then it could be right for you.

Lexmark's execution is a little disappointing on the P310. We don't like its slow access time when reading memory cards, nor do we think the omission of an output tray is a good idea. We also don't like this unit's print quality and its high cost per page.

While this inkjet printer did produce adequate results, the cost of the unit plus the high running costs make it a very expensive proposition.

This unit has plenty of features and is intuitive to use. As a printer for the user who wants to print independently of a PC, it does quite well. However, its print quality in our tests was not as good across the board as competitive Epson and HP printers.
