PC Pro magazine have condusted a group test of 15 inkjet printers, ranging in price from the Dell J740 ( £51) to the Canon Bubble Jet i965 (£225). The Canon Bubble Jet i865 (pictured) was named the overall winner.

“Things have changed considerably since our last inkjets group test. The gap between great and not-so-great printers has narrowed to the point that you can now print excellent photos without spending more than ?70.

This doesn’t bode well for the high-end ‘photo’ printers, which offer features like extra inks and direct printing to help justify their prices. HP’s Photosmart 7960, for instance, includes three cartridges for eight-ink printing and even incorporates a scanner so you can select which hard copies of photos you’d like from an index print. We’ll be examining whether such ideas are revolutionary or just expensive gimmicks.”
