The is probably one of the most expensive printers of this type currently on the market, you will have to have the need to use all of it’s facilities to justify the high price tag, although the low monochrome printing costs should help high volume users.

Canon Pixma MX870

This printer is one of the best choices currently available for small business owners. It has good speed and huge array of features, but it’s the print quality that makes this such an attractive all in one option. You will need plenty of space for this printer, as it is quite large. One of the most important new features on this printer is the Windows 7 support. This printer takes 5 ink cartridges, a pigment based black and a dye-based black to ensure high quality prints. You can currently purchase this printer for around £150.

There’s no doubt you can get good quality print from the PIXMA iP2702. There’s also little doubt that it’s a basic device, a bit pricey to run and it is not the quietest printer out there!

Lexmark Intuition S505

The Lexmark Intuition S505 is a multi-function colour inket printer with scanning and copying facilities. The Lexmark Intuition S505 is very close to being a very good printer. But it is perhaps a little slow, and the price tag a touch too high. The duplex is also a little disappointing. Wait for the Lexmark Intuition S505 to fall close to the £100 mark and it’ll be well worth snapping up.
