Canon PIXMA iP1800 Review
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007The Canon Pixma iP1800 is an entry-level, photo-oriented, single-function printer, and is the successor to the Pixma iP1700. For $50, you get a basic inkjet printer capable of printing decent-quality documents and photos. Though it lacks photo-oriented features such as media card readers and a PictBridge port (not surprising, considering the price), it does come [...]

Saturday, August 11th, 2007On the whole, the HP P2015dn is a good mono laser printer for the home, small office, or dorm room: it’s compact and fast and (usually) produces decent text and graphics. A reproducible print error, however, gives us pause. The Lexmark E350d series is a better value proposition: you get more features for less money [...]
