We’ve never reviewed a printer like this before on this blog. Come to think of it, we’re now wondering why. When it comes to prosumer (a consumer who produces by consuming) photo printer segment, we’re glad that we’re starting with the Epson SureColor P405 or P400 as it is known in some parts of the world. In case you're still wondering, an example of a prosumer would be an advanced amateur or professional photographer who likes to print his own photos for his clients. Such “prosumers” need a ...

Kyocera ECOSYS M8130cidn Review: Better than the Majority of A3 Colour Laser MFPs
We’ve reviewed multiple A3 colour laser multifunction printers on this blog in the past. Of those, though, two stood out the most – the Kyocera ECOSYS FS-C8525MFP and the Oki MC873dn. The Kyocera ECOSYS M8130cidn is at least a match for both those devices. In many areas, it exceeds their capabilities. In fact, it can be said to be one of the better business-class A3 colour laser multifunction printers in the market. A lot of that is because of the flexibility and versatility the Kyocera ECOSYS ...

Kyocera ECOSYS M4132idn Review: Versatile with All the Bells and Whistles and Low Running Costs
The last time we reviewed a device from this Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), it was a no-frills, single-function colour laser printer – Kyocera ECOSYS P5026cdw. The device we’re going to be reviewing today is the exact opposite of that machine with the exception that it also falls in the ECOSYS line. The subject of this review is the Kyocera ECOSYS M4132idn. The Kyocera ECOSYS M4132idn is an A3 multifunction monochrome laser printer with all the bells and whistles that Small to Medium ... Keep Reading
OKI C833n Review: An Affordable Enterprise Printer with Media Versatility
The market for A3 printers is much smaller than it is for A4 printers. In fact, most businesses need in-house A4 printing capabilities. It is probably because of this that traditionally there haven’t been many A3 colour laser printer options available in the market. All that has been changing in the last decade or so because Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) such as OKI have realised that this market can be lucrative too. The entire OKI C800 series is a result of that realisation. In this ... Keep Reading
Brother MFC-L2710DW Review: An Entry-Level Monochrome Multifunction with Advanced Features
We take the phrase ‘entry-level’ to automatically mean something basic or extremely simple. When it comes to printing devices, the industry standards are such that we don’t even expect the full complement of features. However, one Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), it seems, wants to buck that trend. The OEM we speak of is Brother and the device we’re referring to is the Brother MFC-L2710DW. The pricing and market positioning of this device is such that you simply can't evade the phrase ... Keep Reading
Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P365DW Review: A Fast and Scalable Monochrome Single Function Laser for SMEs
There are times you need innovation, creativity, and excellence and then there are times when you just require simplistic reliability and sustainability. When it comes to printing devices, the majority of users out there have basic needs. They just want to be able to print regularly at decent speeds and with decent output quality and nothing more. The Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P365DW is meant for that audience. It is a device designed for Small to Medium sized Businesses (SMBs) with the usual needs. ... Keep Reading
Epson WorkForce WF-7725 Review: An A3 Inkjet Multifunction with Dual Trays
You'll agree with me if you have experience with A3 printers. The problem with such devices is that you have to manually change the media size every time your needs change. What we mean is that when you want to print A3, you have to manually replace A4 sized sheets with A3 sized sheets. At least, this used to be the case for a while before Original Equipment Manufacturers became wise to the problem. The Epson WorkForce WF-7725 is part of that trend correction. This is a 4-colour A3 ... Keep Reading
Canon PIXMA Home Office TR8560 Review: Typical Canon AIO with Excellent Output Quality at a Cost
The PIXMA TR series is a replacement of the out-of-date MG series from Canon. Some experts may even claim the PIXMA TR series to be better than the much-lauded Maxify series from the same Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The TR series consists of two models – the Canon PIXMA Home Office TR8560 and the lower end TR7560. We’re, of course, going to be reviewing the TR8560 here. The Canon PIXMA Home Office TR8560 is a consumer grade device. This means that it is meant for individual users or ... Keep Reading
Epson WorkForce WF-100 Review: The Most Mobile Mobile Printer you’ll find Out There
Excuse the indulgent nature of the headline but, in my defence, it is quite an accurate statement. The Epson WorkForce WF-100 really is the most compact and portable device in the class of mobile printers. It is this quality of the WorkForce WF-100 that makes it unique in the class. This is important too because this device falls short of its competitors in many ways. However, the importance of portability is such in this market segment that the WorkForce WF-100 still stands out. It is true ... Keep Reading
Oki MC342DNW Review: Slightly Overpriced but May Can Be Good for SOHO and SME Setups Alike
When it comes to A4 colour laser multifunction printers, Oki has three series – the MC300, the MC500, and the MC700. The Oki MC300 series is the entry-level series. The Oki MC342DNW is lesser of the two models in this series, even though the differences are not stark. We’ve already reviewed the upper model – Oki MC363DNW – some time back. We’ll be reviewing the MC342DNW now. Like its bigger brother, the Oki MC342DNW is a multifunction printer which means it prints, copies, scans, and faxes. ... Keep Reading
