The annual printer orgy is over until next year. We've got performance tests, scorecards, features tables and enough information on these printers to keep an information junkie or careful shopper happy for weeks. And we've got some good news.
Prices are down a bit more, or machines that cost the same now do a bit more.
Supplies are still pricey, but these printers stretch them further than previous versions. They're smaller, quieter and their drivers are more robust. Ink jet printers have some attractive features and embody some amazing technology. They've all but replaced laser printers in my home and home office. Not having to switch to another printer to do spot color or a photograph is a boon, as is the minimal amount of electricity they consume, whether printing or in standby.
