Forget the photo lab: print and scan at home
Elsa Wenzel
Elsa Wenzel,

A digital camera lets you shoot a seemingly endless number of pictures, but you might wake up one day to a nightmare: heaps of images languishing on your memory cards or computer hard drive. If that motivates you to commit your photos to paper and frame them or to snail mail copies to cousins, you might ponder one of these kiosk-style machines. The all-in-ones in this lineup print photos from digital cards and cameras without a computer. A bonus: they also scan and photocopy. Just prepare to add pricey photo inks and papers into the cost of the machine.

Color LCDs on the control panels of these models allow you to preview and edit photos straight from your PictBridge camera or digital storage cards. The Lexmark P6250 marks the bargain in the bunch, though its photo quality impressed us less than that of the Canon Pixma MP760. Ready to resurrect those dusty, predigital photos? Both the Canon Pixma MP760 and the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 offer a rare adapter to scan slides, negatives, and transparencies. If you're looking for a pure photo printer without scanning or copying, check out these fab photo printers.

Review summary Against other all-in-ones, the HP PSC 2355 is a decent value with excellent text prints, but it's no digital-imaging standout. Features and ease of use reign over speed and output quality, which makes the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 less appealing than other multifunctions in its class. Whether you work from home, in a small office, or with varied home printing, scanning, faxing, and copying needs, this all-in-one takes care of business. Lexmark simplifies this easy-on-the-eyes multifunction so that it won't confuse you, but can you trade ease of use for quality? The sleek design and friendly control panel of the Dell 942 may invite you, but you're better off turning to another model, such as the Epson CX6600, if you want to avoid frequent ink changes. The all-around solid performance of this feature-packed, digital photo-friendly all-in-one makes the Canon Pixma MP760 stand out from the crowd.
