Best AIO Color Inkjet Printer
Laser printers will always be a staple in offices due to their fast print speed and ability to handle high volumes. However, inkjet printers are catching up in terms of speed, and nothing beats an inkjet when it comes to printing photos and graphics. And when you add more functions like scanning, copying and faxing, an all-in-one (AIO) inkjet printer can be a very useful addition to home and small businesses. We put three such inkjet multi-taskers to the test, basing them on specific criteria: besides print, copy, and scan, they must also do fax, and cost no more than S$500.
Nominees:
- Brother DCP-J752DW
- Canon PIXMA MX927
- Epson L550
And the Winner Is...
The Canon PIXMA MX927 takes the cake here. It performed well in terms of print quality; managing to edge out the competition when it came to both monochrome documents as well as documents with colored images and charts. It also performed reasonably well when it came to printing photographs.
In terms of speed the Canon PIXMA MX927 did quite well by outpacing the competition in three out of four speed tests. And don't forget the PIXMA MX927 allows for mobile printing from your iOS devices via Apple AirPrint, while you can print Gmail messages, Google OCS and file attachments with Google Cloud Print. Here's a snapshot of print speed performance:-
