Printers Test

"Xerox Phaser 8560MFP/N"

Issue: 14/2008

On test: Xerox Phaser 8560 MFP

Xerox's multi-function printer promises economic printing in exchange for the hefty initial price. Is it worth it?

"Lexmmark X9575"

Issue: 13/2008

On test: Lexmark X9575

Despite looking like something made out of Duplo, the Lexmark X9575 is packed to the gills with features. But is it that much of an improvement over its cheaper siblings?

"Ricoh Aficio GX 2500"

Issue: 8/2008

On test: Ricoh Aficio GX2500

In typical Ricoh fashion, their Aficio GX 2500 uses a different printing technique than those most consumers will be aware of. Its gel ink-based printer promises laser-like speed and quality with the low running costs and excellent colour capabilities of an inkjet. But does it live up to these lofty claims?

"8124 A3 Colour Laser"

Issue: WWDC/2008

On test: Tally Genicom 8124 A3 Colour Laser

Lasers aren't generally considered the best at printing colour, but can this A3 model impress in areas other than price?

"Stylus Photo RX685"

Issue: WWDC/2008

On test: Epson Stylus Photo RX685

Multifunction devices are generally split into two camps; the utilitarian business device and the do-everything-but-not-very-well products designed for home use. The RX685 from Epson however,f features a six-ink photo optimised print engine and a small LCD screen for printing directly from USB keys and memory cards.
