Canon Printer - PIXMA ip1800 review

May 21, 2008

Canon Printer - PIXMA ip1800 review The Canon Pixma ip1800 is a low cost entry-level printer that the sale to a mere 39 pounds, but instead of resolving a cover cream humdrum, Canon has designed an elegant black mirror finish to a case that remains relatively compact (442 x 237 x 152 mm) and weighs 3.3kg.

This is a machine that has been stripped to the absolute essentials. There are only two buttons - on / off and feeding paper - and a USB 2.0 port for connecting to your PC. Curiously, there is even a tray out (so you’ll have to allow enough space for desktop paper ejection), no memory card slots and does not support PictBridge. Read more

Brother Printer - MFC-845CW review

May 19, 2008

Brother Printer - MFC-845CW review If you’re looking for a multifunction inkjet, and then Brother MFC-845CW has much to recommend. A little less than £ 170 (plus VAT) has a color printer, scanner, copier and fax, all rolled into one, wired and wireless network interfaces in addition to facilities for copy, scan and fax across remote LAN. You even get a DECT phone and an answering machine as part of the package. But not all good news, especially if you want to share the MFC in a network of working groups or use it to handle large volumes of printing.

Brother inkjet is surprisingly robust, well-specified for a device in this price range. Located in a compact black and silver desktop case, has a color cover for the screen and a local integrated operation of color flatbed scanner with automatic document feeder at the top. The cable Ethernet and 802.11b / g wireless interfaces are ready for use in conjunction with a USB PC direct link, in addition to slots to print or scan from a variety of memory cards. PictBridge printing from compatible digital cameras is also supported. Read more
