It's not cheap, but you get plenty of bang for your buck with the R350.

Although this versatile unit requires a hefty initial outlay and its upkeep will cost you close to $20 for each of its six ink tanks, the quality of its photo prints, scanning and photocopying is excellent.

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

The 7760 prints terrific colour and black-and-white glossy photos, making it a good choice for users who don't mind swapping ink cartridges frequently.

Because of its extensive features, the Photosmart 8150 would make a nice centre for the amateur digital photographer, but printing costs are high.

The HP Photosmart 475 is an attractive and portable unit that will more than suffice for someone looking for a solution to photo printing on the move.

It's not without its faults, but the Photosmart 8230 is an above average photo printer with speed as its number one drawing card. It does suffer from graining effects, but its colour reproduction and level of detail is excellent for a photo printer in this price range.

If blistering print speed is crucial--particularly if you're looking to make regular use of the lower quality settings--you'll find this a stunning printer.

The HP Photosmart A716 is an attractive unit that will definitely appeal to someone who is looking at a home solution for reasonably cheap prints, but the black levels issues may deter those printing photos shot after dark.

The Photosmart A526's minimal-options approach to printing photos will be a relief for some, a frustration for others. But it's the slow printing that dampens its value somewhat, even if the photos are worth the wait.

The A616 produced attractive prints with minor flaws and slow print speeds. If you're looking for colour accuracy and a speedy photo printer you might want to look elsewhere.
