Before we talk about some of the best all-in-one printers, let’s take a look at why they’ve evolved so dramatically over the last decade. The reason is that it made more sense for large corporations like HP, Canon Epson, and Lexmark to design printers that can multi-task, such as printing, copying, faxing, and even scanning with one device instead of many. The thought process behind this is that the consumer will save money by only buying a printer with various multifunction capabilities. Let’s take a look at several printers that tick all the boxes.
The first all-in-one wireless printer we’re going to look at is the Canon Pixma MG6150. This printer is a good all-rounder and is very easy to use with the help of its touch screen capability. The touch screen controls are very responsive and light up when touched.
This printer needs six CLI-526 cartridges, you can get alternative cartridges like Jettec and they produce a multi pack for £27.99 which is not only good value for money but also very compatible. This printer can produce extremely colorful and sharp photos at very fast speeds and the scanner is also fast, it can produce very good colorful prints. The printer preview screen allows you to edit and remove red eye, as well as many other features.
There are several ways to print with the MG6150, for example you can use compact flash, memory cards and all media cards via its card slot or using PictBridge to print directly from your camera, lastly you can print using the camera itself. Canon app for the iPhone and Android devices.
Another printer that is excellent is the Brother MFC-795CW multifunction printer. This printer has certain features that make it stand out from the crowd. It can be wireless, Ethernet, or USB, which is similar to canon. It has a 5-inch wide color LCD touch screen that is simple and extremely responsive. What this printer has that others don’t is a phone as well as color fax capability, giving you more flexibility in the office environment.
This Brother will print up to 23 pages per minute in Mono and 20 pages in color and the copy resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi which is not bad at all. This printer holds four cartridges, they fit perfectly in the front of the printer, making it easy and very convenient to insert them. Like the Canon, it is also jetc compatible.
Top of the range from Canon is the Canon MG8150 wireless all-in-one printer, it’s priced at around £220.00 and can do almost everything except make a cup of tea and is excellent value for money. HP has also produced many excellent all-in-one printers, for example the HP Photosmart Plus is a good all-rounder, it produces excellent photo prints and the copy capabilities are extremely good. It also has a touch screen facility.
