Lots of office-oriented features, quick performance, and high-quality printing make the MFC-8840DN a great workhorse for busy offices.

Definitely look at considering this unit if you need the photocopier and scanner as well

Epson's AcuLaser CX11NF rolls the functions of a scanner, copier, fax machine and printer into a single device. Good output quality and ease of use help make it attractive to small businesses, and make it easier to overlook the lack of memory card slot and limited paper tray.

Epson's Stylus Photo RX430 offers excellent--if slightly slow--four-colour printing.

The HP PSC 1315 provides adequate photo-quality prints and document printouts, as well as very good scanning capabilities. It has an attractive price tag, and a PictBridge port, but lacks separate print cartridges for each colour.

Whether you're connecting wirelessly to print and scan, or just making copies, the HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One delivers fine quality and excellent paper handling.

The MP830 has a strong combination of features and terrific performance, making it a worthy option for small businesses, despite its bulky size

For its price, this unit is worth a look, especially if you need faxing capabilities.

If you want a machine that can do it all, and also one that offers plenty of convenience, the X9350 can't be overlooked. It's very well priced and would suit either a home environment or a small office.

It may not look pretty, but underneath its boxy exterior the MP600R has plenty of useful features that make it a great all-round multifunction centre for the home or small office.

Mostly a very good MFD for the money, the CLX-2160N offers good quality, features, and performance at this level. It's a shame it's marred by the slightly skimpy paper catch and paper curl.

The Photosmart C5280's mediocre speed and sparse connectivity options restrict it to a small or home office. Those users, however, will enjoy a highly capable, easy-to-use device with excellent photo output.
