Title: Epson Stylus Photo 1400 (4 mice)
Pros: Excellent print quality; borderless printing up to 13 inches by 19 inches; long-lasting prints; CD/DVD printing capability; decent ink cartridge life; ability to print directly from a camera.
Cons: Not as fast as some other photo printers; disc-printing software is hard to use and lacks integration with iLife.

Summary: Epson's Stylus Photo 1400 is an affordable alternative, providing great prints that last a long time, at larger sizes that can make your photos look very impressive.

Title: Epson AcuLaser C1100
Pros: Good print speed, Decent supplied software
Cons: Expensive to replace drum, Bulky
Verdict: Fast, vivid colour, but expensive. It's bulky, too
Summary: Compared to some of the more lightweight models around, you can tell the Epson really means business as you struggle to lift all 28kg of printer out of its box. It's two to four inches larger in every direction than many other desktop colour lasers

Title: HP Photosmart C5280 Multifunction Printer
Pros: Inexpensive; great graphics and photo print quality; excellent color scan quality; can print on specially coated optical discs; dedicated photo paper tray; low print costs; Roxio Express Labeler software is easy to use; print quality on discs is good.
Cons: Text quality needs significant improvement; photo menus need to be reorganized to be more intuitive; can't produce scannable proof sheet; can't sort memory card contents by date; lacks a PictBridge port.
Summary: Its features set is oddly unbalanced, and better all-in-one inkjet options cost just a bit more, but the HP Photosmart C5280 is a good bet for casual home users on a tight budget.
