subject: A Look At Epson, Hp And Canon Multifunction Printers [print this page] When looking for printers and other items for the office, why not save space and invest in an item that carries out many tasks all in one?
Gone are the days when it was necessary to have a separate scanner, printer and photocopier, which almost required a whole office to themselves. These tasks can now be performed by one compact machine, meaning space can be utilised far more effectively.
For example, Canon multifunction printers can scan, copy and print all in one, and there are many on the market including the Canon i-SENSYS MF8030 Multifunction Printer which features 8 pages per minute for full colour, and 12 pages per minute for mono colour. It also offers a 600 x 600 dots per inch print resolution, a 600 x 600 dots per inch scan resolution and a 600 x 600 dots per inch copy resolution and a 128MB memory; all this for under the 250 pounds mark.
Other Canon multifunction printers include the Canon i-SENSYS MF8450 which offers a slightly more sophisticated compilation of features and is suitable for a busy office environment. This printer can fax as well as scan, copy and print, and it prints at a rate of 17 pages per minute. It can also copy at 17 pages per minute, and has a 600 x 600 dots per inch scan resolution, a 600 x 600 dots per inch copy resolution as well as a 600 x 600 dots per inch print resolution. The memory on this device is large; 384MB, and has a USB and network interface.
From Epson, there is the Stylus SX410 which prints, scans and copies. This is a high-quality inkjet printer that will print photos at high speed, up to around 26 seconds for each page. The model comes with a USB connection and plugs straight into your computer for easy use. Printing resolution can be as high as 5760 x 1440 dots per inch, and is compatible for a range of memory cards.
If printing is your main priority and you are on a tight budget, the HP Deskjet F2480 is good value for money at less than 50 pounds. This small device prints, scans and copies you documents and is a no-frills product that does exactly what it says on the tin.
There are a huge range of Epson, HP and Canon multifunction printers available on the market. In order to choose, you need to consider the sort of usage you require from your device. In a busy work environment where fast and efficient document output is the lifeblood of the organisation, Epson, HP and Canon multifunction printers are all robust enough for the job, and choosing is simply down to personal preference.
