Buying Guide: Best Home MFP Printers

Canon PIXMA Wireless Photo MFP

Most general-purpose home printers today are actually MFPs (multifunction printers), also known as all-in-ones (AIOs), which combine scanning, copying, and sometimes other functions with printing. Fortunately, a number of good home MFPs are on the market, each with a different set of strengths.

Some models include features such as faxing or an automatic document feeder (ADF) that also make them useful in a home-office setting, while others are strongly geared to home use and eschew most office-centric features.

The Editors' Choice Epson Stylus NX515 is a perfect example of the latter, combining rapid speed with high-quality photo and text output.

Another Editors' Choice, the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One, offers a host of both photocentric and office-centric features along with reasonably fast speed and high-quality output overall.

The other models here offer slightly different mixes of price, feature set, speed, and output quality. Be sure to take a close look at the descriptions and reviews to find the one that best fits your situation.
