All-in-One

Printer Shootout

Even the best photographs on display are only as good as the printer they’re printed on. With technology

moving at a fast pace in the printing industry as well, choosing the right product has become more

diffi cult than ever. Like every year, to make your decision easier, we asked the manufacturers to send

us their best All-in-One printers to test under various parameters, and fi nd the best one to buy.

Parameters

With the constant technological

developments, it has become

necessary to evolve in terms

of testing parameters. Our

parameters last year were

stringent, and this year too we will

adhere to the same.

1. Performance

• Print Quality (specifi cally
  designed templates)


• Pages Per Minute (PPM)
  (under various sizes)


• Images Per Minute (IPM) (new
  industry standard)

2. Set up, ease of use and
   installation


3. 
   

   Value for money (consumables
   and overall)
   The price range for the printers
   had been kept between 6000 to 18000

   
   

   Contenders
   We have Epson and HP battling
   it out this year in the All-in-One
   category.
