Reviewers cheer the HP Officejet Pro 8100’s speed of up to 20 pages per minute, two-sided print option and good-quality prints, calling it an ideal home-office printer. The 8100 offers several wireless connectivity options, including the ability to send documents to the printer over the Internet, and draws kudos for sipping ink rather than guzzling it.

The Epson Stylus Photo R2000 prints nearly pro-quality photos — for hundreds of dollars less than a pro photo printer. Just like pricier models, the R2000 prints up to 13 by 19 inches, with pigment inks and a chroma optimizer to refine glossy photos. It has fewer ink hues and smaller cartridges than a high-volume pro printer, but it nicely fills the bill for photo enthusiasts.

For busy pro photographers who demand truly exhibition-quality results, experts recommend the Canon Pixma Pro-1. It prints up to 13 by 19 inches, with 12 high-capacity ink tanks, fast automatic black ink switching (for glossy and matte papers) and a chroma optimizer that smoothes out flaws usually found in glossy prints. It’s refreshingly easy to operate — and reliable too.

If you need to print on the go, experts recommend the Canon Pixma iP100. It’s speedy, lightweight and prints text and photos nearly as well as a full-size printer. It’s ultra-convenient too, with a rechargeable battery, car adapter and the ability to print directly from a camera or phone.
