Most offices shop for a laser multifunction to meet all of their document demands. But only ink-based multifunctions can juggle spreadsheets for work and print pictures for play.
For home offices or small start-ups, these models include text and photo printing, scanning, and faxing, plus they have an automatic document feeder to make stacks of photocopies.
Some are a breeze to set up, but others, especially if you want to connect them to a network, take much longer. Scrapbook hobbyists should turn to a digital imaging-driven all-in-one, while high-volume business users should consider a laser multifunction to print lots of text and save on upkeep costs.

The Canon Pixma MP780 is well suited for home offices or businesses small enough to get by without a networked multifunction printer.

We love this all-in-one's low price and office-appropriate features, but we can't overlook its poor performance and dismal output quality.

You'll get what you pay for. The 7410 provides the latest all-in-one features and functions -- for a price.

The Lexmark X7170 fits a home or a small office that values good-looking photos more than speed, sharp text prints, or great scans.
