Kyocera Mita's FS-1035MFP is a fast, economical mono laser multifunction with full duplex print, scan and copy. So what if it costs £500?

Fast print engine; Optional paper trays up to 800 sheets; Front panel USB port

Can't print jpegs from USB drives; Toner loading awkward; Graphic print a bit blotchy

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dn ($699 direct) has an awkward name, and nobody is going to give it any awards for speed. But it has a good feature set and above-average output; it's especially strong in graphics.

Good output quality; headed by very good graphics.

Slow print speed; Slightly sub-par text quality

The $129 (as of May 9, 2012) HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One color inkjet multifunction (copy/print/scan) is a decidedly welcome replacement for the

HP is a renowned brand for delivering superior quality products or solutions for business, small enterprises, or home use, especially in the field of computers, laptops and their peripherals.

Canon's range of office inkjet printers is different to most, as it still focuses heavily on photo printing. The Pixma MX895 has a broadly consumer design and features both pigmented and dye-based black inks: one primarily for documents, the other for producing high-quality photos.

A good addition to a home looking for a smart, fun, easy to use and affordable printer.

Easy setup; Huge number of printing options; Fast wireless printing speed; Relatively inexpensive ink cartridges

Images and text appear grainy on regular paper; Overly bright photos; Very loud when loading paper

The MX895 is the latest in a long series of inkjet all-in-ones from Canon. Its features include USB Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity faxing a small (3in/7.6cm) yet clear and bright display and a set of buttons that are backlit to show only the controls relevant to the current mode.

Duplex scan and print dual paper feed

Limited cassette capacity

The HP Deskjet is perfect for small print jobs, and shouldn't be considered for print jobs that require either a lot of color, or lots of detail, as the paper tray can only handle about a 1/5th of a ream of paper. The printer is fairly quiet, and doesn't jam very often.

Canon's Pixma MX892 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One color inkjet multifunction printer (for printing, copying, faxing, and scanning) is suitable for a home or very small office. It delivered good output quality in our tests, and supports both automatic duplex printing and scanning.

Automatic duplex printing and scanning; Good speed and output

Inefficient control panel
