Upside: The CX5400 includes Epson's Easy PhotoFix technology--a combination of hardware and software that's designed to restore old, discolored, or faded photographs at the touch of a button. The scanner can also export images directly to e-mail. Finally, the CX5400 works with both Windows 98 and greater and Macintosh OS X, exhibiting a versatility that's becoming rarer these days.

Downside: The LCD on the front panel is a small, single-line display that's hard to read. Fortunately, the printer, scanner, and copy functions can all be controlled by the Windows and OS X software.

Outlook: At $149, this affordable multifunction printer contains very competitive features for Windows and Mac users alike. Check back for our review. 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.
