Photo Printers

Canon Pixma iP100
It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 4 in x 6 in, Wired, Wireless, 20 pages/min, 14 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared

Canon Pixma iP4500
The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a bit too expensive for basic home users, but those who do a bit more printing than the occasional e-mail and map will be happy with its speed and quality.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB

Canon Pixma iP2600 Photo Printer
The Canon Pixma iP2600 is an excellent option for buyers looking to print their personal photos and text documents. We wish it had external ports for direct image uploading (although we're not surprised it doesn't), but you'll be more than satisfied with this printer's ability to deliver quality photos at a low price.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Letter A Size (8.5 in x 11 in), Wired, 22 pages/min, 17 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

Epson Stylus Photo R1900
Epson's Stylus Pro R1900 13-inch-wide photo printer is great for scrapbookers who want to print with pigment ink, or advanced photographers who want to print large, but can't justify the expense of a pro-level printer.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 1 min/page, 1.5 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

Canon Selphy CP760
The Canon Selphy CP760 takes the pain out of printing photos with its plug-and-play design and straightforward usability, and the $100 price tag makes it an excellent companion printer for quick prints in the home.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Dye sublimation - Color, 4 in x 8 in, Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

Canon Pixma iP90v Wireless Mobile Printer
The Canon Pixma iP90v is the Vista-enabled version of the older Pixma iP90 and offers nearly the same print speeds and quality. It's a very useful printer if you travel a lot and need to print often, but consider the purchase carefully because it's quite expensive.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, Wireless, 12 pages/min, 16 pages/min, 1.4 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared, Direct print USB

Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Epson's new dye-based 13-inch printer has style and prints large photos, but its black-and-white prints are less than perfect.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A3 (11.7 in x 16.5 in), Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 15 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

Canon Pixma iP3500
The Canon Pixma iP3500 inkjet printer is a great choice for home users who have basic print needs but still want good-looking prints.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 25 pages/min, 17 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

HP Photosmart D7460
The HP Photosmart D7460 offers compelling features--including a touch screen--for home users, but the competition offers better print quality.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, Wireless, 34 pages/min, 33 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB, 802.11g, Ethernet

HP Photosmart A826
The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend $250 for a dedicated photo printer.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, 5.12 in x 7.1 in, Wired, 0.6 min/page, 0.9 min/page, 1.3 min/page, PC, Mac

Epson Stylus Photo R2400
The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer's excellent monochrome printing further solidifies company's hegemony of the enthusiast and professional photo printer markets.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Roll (13 in), Super B (13 in x 19 in), Tabloid Extra (12 in x 18 in), Wired, 1.8 min/page, 1.3 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, IEEE1394 FireWire

Canon Pixma iP90
Ever printed on an airplane? What about from a cell phone? The go-anywhere Canon iP90 offers worlds of possibilities--for a price.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 16 pages/min, 12.7 pages/min, 12 pages/min, 7.2 pages/min, 1.2 pages/min, 0.6 pages/min, 0.8 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, Infrared

Canon PIXMA iP1800
With its decent print speeds, serviceable print quality, and great software package, the Canon Pixma iP1800 is a good choice for home users who want an inexpensive inkjet printer for basic printing needs.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 20 pages/min, 16 pages/min, 1.2 min/page, PC, Mac, USB

Canon Pixma Pro9000
If you don't mind the shorter display life of dye-based prints or the paper choices offered by Canon, the Pixma Pro9000 makes an excellent choice for a medium-format inkjet printer.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB

Lexmark X7550
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.
Specs: Digital photo - Thermal inkjet - Color laser paper, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Custom (8.5 in x 17 in), Digital photo, Modem, PC, Mac, 1 year warranty

HP Photosmart D5360
We can't recommend the HP Photosmart D5360 when the competition's all-in-one offers a lot more for the same price.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 32 pages/min, 24 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

Canon Pixma iP4200
Autoduplexing, multiple input options, and acceptable photo and text quality make this printer a versatile choice for home and small-office users who aren't in a hurry.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 1.2 pages/min, 29 pages/min, 20 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

HP Officejet H470wbt Mobile Printer
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.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Wired, Wireless, PC, Mac, USB, 802.11b, 802.11g, Bluetooth

Canon Selphy CP740
The Canon Selphy CP740 offers a decent feature package and quality prints for an inexpensive compact photo printer. Casual snapshooters will be satisfied with this, but users who need more features should look elsewhere.
Specs: Compact photo printer - Dye sublimation - Color, 4 in x 8 in, Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

Canon Pixma Pro9500
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, PC, Mac, USB, Direct print USB

Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 37 pages/min, 38 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB

Epson Stylus Photo R1800
A very solid medium-format printer with a couple of quirks.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Roll (13 in), Super B (13 in x 19 in), Wired, 0.7 min/page, 1.8 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, IEEE1394 FireWire

Epson Stylus Photo R800
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.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in), Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 17 pages/min, 0.8 min/page, PC, Mac, USB, IEEE1394 FireWire

HP Photosmart D7360
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.
Specs: Photo printer - Ink-jet - Color, Legal (8.5 in x 14 in), Wired, 32 pages/min, 31 pages/min, 2.9 pages/min, PC, Mac, USB
