The Bottom Line	Quality printouts and useful standalone functions trump the flawed design and slow speed of this affordable multifunction, which is a good deal for a home or a modest office.	The HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One printer makes it easy to increase productivity thanks to its streamlined user interface. The fax, copy, print, and scanning features boast helpful extras like double-sided printing, wireless connectivity, separate photo trays, and quick-access control panel buttons, all while maintaining lab-quality photos and a low cost to print. We highly recommend this printer to anyone who can benefit from its multifunctionality.	The Epson Stylus NX515 is a capable machine that will improve the efficiency of any office or work-at-home setup. Not only is it a lightning-fast all-in-one, but it also has a broader range of features than most other $150 AIOs. As long as you don't need a full creative software suite, the Epson Stylus NX515 will make a dependable sidekick to your computer.	This upgrade of the popular CX6400 pledges more of a good thing: a low-cost, semi-standalone, multitasking, photo-loving all-in-one.	Epson's CX6400 multifunction printer offers office features and tools at a low price for students and families.
