CNET Editors' Take

This multifunction targets small offices that want a photo printer, a scanner, and a fax machine in one bundle.

Review: The Epson Stylus CX5800F fits in the category of inkjet multifunctions built for business. Color laser multifunctions are a better bet for faster printing and less expensive upkeep, but they won't handle photos.

Small and home offices should be satisfied with the print speed if this machine comes anywhere near to Epson's estimated 20ppm (pages per minute) for black ink only or 19ppm for color pages. We'll put the CX5800F through CNET Labs' tests soon and deliver our verdict. Hide Review

Which printer is right for me?

Laptop Finder

Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.

We've compiled a handful of typical user experiences that should help outline what type of printer is right for you. Chances are, you'll fall somewhere in between two or more of these archetypes, so carefully consider what you'll be using your new printer for.
