All in one printers: HP OfficeJet & Canon Pixma

Space is always at a premium in the Indian home and all-in-one printers are a great way of saving space while satisfying a variety of needs. The basic functions available on all-in-ones are printing, scanning and copying with many models also providing fax capabilities. All-in-ones can save time as well as space: for example you can fax and scan a document on the same machine.

All-in-ones come in a wide range of prices with more expensive models naturally having better features. A good budget model is the HP Officejet 4255. Not only does it have colour fax capabilities, it also features a phone handset which can be used to make regular phone calls.

Higher-end units generally produce better-quality prints at a faster rate. The resolution and overall quality of the scanning and copying is also higher. A good example is the Canon Pixma MP 780 which can print colour pages at 17 pages per minute. It can scan at a resolution of up to 2400X4800 dpi with 48-bit colour. It also has a document feeder which is convenient for scanning or copying a lot of pages. Another useful feature is double-sided printing to save on paper costs.
