The Bottom Line: The Canon Pixma iP1700 is a bargain of a printer, especially considering its impressive print quality.

The Bottom Line: The Epson PictureMate Dash printer is impressive in every way except for print quality.

Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 4 in x 6 in, Wired, 1.6 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

• CNET Editor rating:

• Average user rating: 1.5 stars out of 1 review

The Bottom Line: All-in-one printers are a tough sell, and we must insist that manufacturers release machines that produce prints with the same standard of quality as their individual counterparts. With that in mind, we can't recommend the Lexmark x7550 because of its poor quality prints and several mechanical snags.

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart D7360 offers a varied selection of features, great print quality, and fast text prints, but if you need fast photo prints, look elsewhere. Otherwise, this is a decent option for amateur photo hobbyists.

• CNET Editor rating:
  4.0 stars Excellent
• Average user rating: 3.0 stars out of 39 reviews

The Bottom Line: This excellent printer cedes its Editors' Choice crown to the Canon iP8500 but remains a great choice for photo enthusiasts despite some finicky printhead behavior.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a good, all-around printer for the home, the HP Photosmart D7160 is a decent choice. But if your focus is on photographs, you can do better for just a little more cash.

Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 32 pages/min, 7.9 pages/min, 7.8 pages/min, 2.1 pages/min, 31 pages/min, 7.3 pages/min, 5.7 pages/min, 0.2 min/page, 0.3 min/page, 0.4 min/page, 0.8 min/page, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: HP markets the Officejet H470wbt to the mobile business professional, but it chose aesthetics over performance. The sleek design and cost-effective cartridges give its rating a slight boost, but the degradation of print quality from the previous model is definitely a deal breaker.

The Bottom Line: Some of the interesting innovations that HP makes in its B9180 tell us we shouldn't count the company out of prosumer photo printing quite yet.

The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart A626 is supposed to bridge the gap between the A826 and the A526 snapshot printers by providing lots of features, good print quality, and decent print speeds, but it falls short on the last two counts.

Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 3.9 in x 11.8 in, 3.95 in x 5.9 in, 5.12 in x 7.1 in, Wired, 0.6 min/page, 0.9 min/page, 1.3 min/page, PC, Mac, USB

The Bottom Line: The Pixma iP6310D has the print quality and the features that make it an attractive photo printer, but for just a bit more money, you can get an all-in-one printer from Canon that has better quality and faster speeds.
