Top 15 inkjet mfp

Despite its extremely modest price tag, the device definitely deserves attention of picky users. The most significant drawback of the model is the absence of borderless printing. On the other hand, only uncontrolled optimists will expect to receive laboratory-quality photographs in this category.

Otherwise, everything is more than worthy. There is a wireless connection, and supported by direct printing from mobile gadgets. There is even interaction with popular cloud services. The same photos printed on good paper, turn out to be quite decent.

There are no problems with refueling. By the way, it is more practical to purchase cartridges of increased volume (XL) and then reuse them already. In this case, it makes sense to activate the ink drying delay mode and not use the power button, but select automatic shutdown in the settings. The device itself will go into a state of “sleep” and periodically “wake up” to clean the heads. Well, any treatment from a PC or smartphone will react correctly, albeit somewhat slower than usual.

This inexpensive MFP is well suited for home or to equip a mini-office. PIXMA TR4540 does not pull a serious monthly load, but in its favor they say duplex printing, automatic filing of originals when scanning documents and the presence of an embedded fax. An advanced Wi-Fi module capable of providing direct printing / scanning from smartphones also has a recommended multifunction printer, but there is no memory card slot. Of the interesting chips worth noting the "quiet" mode. On the other hand, only the paper grab mechanism is really “loud” for this multifunctional device, therefore the total profit from such a skill is small. Consumables here are two printhead cartridges - not the best option for savings. However, they can be refilled and even get to replace the CISS designer.

Affordable multifunction device for high school students and students is the best choice in the case when essays and coursework can be printed in draft quality, as far as normal, the speed of page output drops significantly. It also scans / copies the PIXMA TS3140 rather slowly, but does not require a mandatory connection to a PC or network. The communication capabilities of the recommended MFP are encouraging: USB interface, direct printing from cameras, Wi-Fi module. By the way, the latter supports the technology AirPrint and Mopria, as well as branded Canon Print, i.e. ready to fully "cooperate" with mobile technology running iOS or Android and is able to work with cloud services. Cartridge two, which is bad. They are refilled elementary, which is good. A continuous ink supply system cannot be supplied. Of the other unpleasant features, we note the increased noise of the device.

One of the most inexpensive inkjet multifunctional devices with modest capabilities. First of all, budgetary impact on the ability to print photographic materials. Nominally, it is available, but the qualitative results of the "works" of the PIXMA MG2540S cannot be called for good reason. Here and the fundamental absence of frameless prints, and a very approximate color matching palette, and a limited list of supported paper types. The second suffered ease of use MFP. The MG2540S does not have a wireless module; there is also no screen for visual monitoring of the state of the MFP. Refilling cartridges is possible, i.e. save on consumables work, but not as much as we would like. The fact is that the “pampers” of this model is not programmatically reset, and its service at the service center costs money.

Rather universal model of the jet MFP for the house. For office use it is less suitable, as far as it does not have an automatic document filing module when scanning. If your daily activity consists of a large number of document copy operations, pay attention to the senior representative of this line - G4411. Owners of MacBooks should also focus on it, as far as PIXMA G3411 macOS is not supported. With printing photos from the recommended MFP, things are relatively good. It is clear that the contrast and saturation of the resulting images is greatly lacking, but this consequence of 3-chromaticity can be partially compensated with the help of a simple graphic editor (in advance). Direct printing from smartphones / iPhones supported.

Interestingly, the Epson inkjet assortment has virtually no models equipped with CISS that would be designed from scratch. In this case, the prototype served as a multifunctional device Expression Home XP-323, and in the process of transformation has changed the type of black ink. They were pigmented and became water soluble. This is both good and bad. The deterioration concerns the partial loss of universality - important documents on such a device should not be printed, For office use, the L3070 MFP is not the best choice. The good news is that the recommended multifunction printer adequately copes with complex colors when printing photos, and the continuous ink supply system and inexpensive compatible consumables make this process quite economical. There is Wi-Fi Direct, printing from memory cards and support for cloud services. The scanning block is mediocre.

The advantage of this multifunctional device with an inkjet printing system is the increased resolution of the scanning unit. Even if you do not pay attention to the mythical indicators of interpolated resolution, the DCP-T510W model will digitize paper photos with a density of 1200 × 2400 dpi better than other offers of equal class. Unfortunately, this advantage is compensated by a relatively low print speed. If it is vital, you should focus on the older members of the family, with an increased number of nozzles in the heads. They will also be more interesting for office workers (optional document feeder module for the DCP-T710W, fax for the MFC-T810W and duplex for the MFC-T910W). Among the other advantages of the MFP, it is worth noting a spacious main paper cassette (150 sheets).

Canon has found the optimal formula for affordable photo quality and is implementing it in the third generation of its inkjet. They use an interesting 5-color scheme, in which the familiar four CMY + Black is complemented with blue ink. The benefits of this combination are definitely there. At least when printing amateur photos in which a fair part of the picture is occupied by the sky. As is known, it is the blue cartridge that has the unpleasant habit of ending first, and the additional blue is designed to break this system. In addition, it also allows you to slightly reduce the grain fill for individual shades. Among other advantages of the PIXMA TS8240 model, we note a convenient touch screen, the ability to print documents with waterproof pigment ink, the presence of a duplex and the ability to directly connect via Wi-Fi. Canon engineers even provided support for the Bluetooth interface. Do you need such a chip?

For workgroups and small offices, the capabilities of Canon's new MAXIFY line of Canon multifunction printers will be quite enough. Due to the use of a pair of optical sensors, the recommended model can perform double-sided scanning in one pass of the sheet, which significantly speeds up streaming operations with documents. The difference between MB5140 and MB5440 is the availability of the second tray. Is it possible to rarely replenish the stock of paper four thousand - you decide.

But the main feature of the novelty is in specially designed high-density inks of double resistance. This is what the manufacturer calls this expendable material and promises an incredible brightness of colors, enhanced text clarity and insensitivity of prints to rubbing and markers. Unfortunately, they are somewhat more expensive than usual, but there is no alternative yet, which is similar to the original for durability. Well at least the resource capacity of cartridges of increased capacity (XL) is approximately about 2,500 pages with 5 percent coverage.

There are several interesting and useful functions for the office, such as enabling and disabling on a schedule. Autonomous work provided.

The main disadvantage of classic inkjet MFP is the low print speed (compared with the corresponding performance of laser devices). That's just the recommended MFP it is deprived, as far as in the PageWide line is used a fixed print head in the entire width of the sheet. Due to the absence of stages of movement and positioning of GHGs, the speed of such devices increases many times. In fact, we see a multifunctional device of corporate class, and with a high degree of protection against cyber attacks and an acceptable cost of printing. Note, CISS for PageWide Pro 777z is available. By the way, ink of all colors in this inkjet MFP pigment - the best for business documentation. Actually, for printing photos, any device of the PageWide family is unsuitable because of a rather large minimum drop and low limiting resolution.

The fact that this MFP is focused on printing documents is well understood by the use of pigment inks in all four MFC-J3930DW cartridges. Business graphics, printed on this MFP, is not afraid of moisture, does not stain and has a high clarity of thin lines. The disadvantage here is that the original consumables are expensive, but not yet compatible, just like a suitable CISS. The device is able to automatically perform double-sided scanning / copying / printing of documents, it can boast the presence of an NFC module, and you should not mention such a “trifle” as the A3 format or an integrated fax. Finally, the bonus is an additional 250-sheet lower tray. Convenient, you know, drafts to print on one paper, and important things - on the other. This is for the average office.

If the office is characterized by intensive workflow, the cost of consumables for printing media will certainly become a very important indicator, and the presence of a system of continuous ink supply is almost a prerequisite for a fleet of jet office equipment.The recommended multifunction printer is equipped with it, but not only this fact distinguishes the L1455 model from the Brother machine discussed above. For printing non-ferrous materials, Epson's multifunctional device traditionally uses water-soluble inks, which guarantees print quality that is close to printing. And all this on paper A3 format. In addition, the L1455 is equipped with a facsimile module capable of receiving / transmitting messages with high resolution (1200 × 600 dpi).
