| Bottom line | The HP Photosmart D7460 offers compelling features--including a touch screen--for home users, but the competition offers better print quality. | Speed and economy make the HP Photosmart 8250 a reasonable choice for family photo printing. | If you don't mind the shorter display life of dye-based prints or the paper choices offered by Canon, the Pixma Pro9000 makes an excellent choice for a medium-format inkjet printer. | Epson's new dye-based 13-inch printer has style and prints large photos, but its black-and-white prints are less than perfect. | Info unavailable |
