the specifications to match. It uses six individual ink cartridges to achieve superior colour fidelity and prints photos at a sharp 4800 x 1200 DPI resolution. It offers AirPrint connectivity for Mac users and includes an SD Cards slot for photographers. It can automatically print both sides of a

A stylish small-in-one to match your Mac Category: 3-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 23ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 500 | Weight: 12.1kg Compact design Great price for features Costly cartridges No touchscreen

Epson has done well to shrink this three-in-one to the size of a square shoebox without losing any features. Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and AirPrint make it easy to connect to an Apple device without the need for Ethernet or USB cables. It also offers auto duplex printing, convenient USB and SD card slots and the ability to print on a very wide variety of media from blank CDs to glossy A4 photo paper. It lacks a touchscreen display, but its easy to use
and the print quality, especially with photos, is excellent. (Image credit: HP) 3. HP OfficeJet Pro 7740

Apple-friendly A3 all-in-one Category: All-in-one color inkjet | Print speed: 22ppm (mono) | Paper sizes: up to A3 | Paper capacity: 250 + 50 sheets | Weight: 19.5kg Strong A3 output Competitive price compared to rivals Not so cheap to run Could be smaller size to fit more locations

The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 is a large and well-specified A3 printer with a surprisingly small price tag. Its large enough to hold 500 sheets of A3 (tabloid) paper in its two deep trays and another 50 sheets of A4 in its automatic document feeder on top. It can print full color A3 posters quite quickly and turn them over automatically to print the other side (auto duplex), while the ADF is able to scan and copy both sides of the page
(duplex scan). Theres an Ethernet port and inbuilt Wi-Fi with AirPrint compatibility for Mac users. It also has a generous touchscreen for easy operation. (Image credit: HP) 4. HP PageWide Pro 477dw

Innovative high-speed inkjet Category: Color inkjet all-in-one printer |
Print speed: 55ppm (mono) | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 550 + 50 sheets | Weight: 22.3kg Very fast printing Duplex scanning capability Noisy
in operation Expensive price compared to competition

HPs PageWide technology uses inkjets, but because the print head is the full width of the paper, your documents dont need to stop and start like a normal inkjet. Instead they glide through more like a laser. Because of this, the quoted print speed of 55 pages per minute is no exaggeration. Being an
inkjet, it can print onto coated photo paper and deliver vibrant color images up to A4 size. It can also duplex copy by scanning both sides of the paper automatically. The paper capacity is a generous 500-sheets with upgrade options available, but even without the extra paper trays, this fast and innovative four-in-one will suit most busy small to medium sized businesses.

Fast and feature-packed inkjet Category: Color inkjet all-in-one printer | Print speed: 24ppm (mono) | Paper sizes: Up to A4 | Paper capacity: 500 + 50 sheets | Weight: 12.1kg Fast for an inkjet AirPrint and NFC Small output tray No multipurpose tray

The Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4745 is a Mac-friendly 4-in-1 inkjet printer aimed at the small business and as such, its kitted out with every office requirement you can think of. Theres plenty of room for paper, with two drawers capable of holding 250 sheets each, a very respectable print speed of 24 monochrome pages per minute and an automatic document feed that can duplex scan. Its well connected with an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi with AirPrint compatibility for Mac users and NFC for quick tap-to-connect. Download Epsons free iOS/Android companion app and mobile printing for easy mobile printing. With Epsons XL cartridges yielding up to 2,600 color pages, its as efficient as many laser printers.

Cartridge-less system smashes the page costs of this AirPrint all-in-one Category: 3-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 13ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 250 | Weight: 6.5kg High page yield Low ink costs Not very fast Expensiveprice compared to rivals

This costly, but cost-effective all-in-one AirPrint device has swapped its cartridges for refillable ink tanks. That slashes your per-page cost considerably and Canon has included enough ink for 6,000 black and white
pages and 7,700 colour hence the hefty price tag. It prints quite slowly,
but with a paper capacity of 350 sheets (250 in the main tray plus 100 in the rear tray) and such a high ink yield, it can keep on printing. It comes equipped with Wi-Fi and auto duplex mode and can be easy controlled by the iOS/Android companion app. (Image credit: HP) 7. HP ENVY Photo 7164

For all your AirPrinting needs Category: Color inkjet printer | Print speed: Color: Up to 9 ppm; B&W: Up to 14 ppm | Paper sizes: Up to 8.5 by 14 in | Paper capacity: 125 | Weight: 6.68 kg AirPrint feature Borderless photo printing Tri-color ink doesnt last long

As an Apple device user, you might often find yourself in situations when you need to print directly from your iPhone or iPad. With the HP Envy Photo 7164 photo printer, you wont have to bother transferring your images to your Mac thanks to its AirPrint feature. But, this inkjet photo printer offers more than that. If youre looking for the best printer for Mac, this has a few
other features youll appreciate from borderless photo printing and a
separate photo paper tray to Wireless Direct printing and HPs Instant Ink replacement service. (Image credit: HP) 8. HP Tango X

Compact printer for small spaces Category: Color inkjet printer | Print
speed: Color: Up to 8 ppm; B&W: Up to 11 ppm | Paper sizes: Up to 8.5 by 14
in | Paper capacity: 125 | Weight: 3.08 kg Portable and able to fit small spaces AirPrint feature Not cheap

Built specifically for Mac and Apple users, the HP Tango X has all the features youre looking for a portable printer. Beyond its lightweight and compact design, it boasts AirPrint capability, has a nice indigo linen wrap for easy transport, and requires no drivers or USB connections for setup. All you need is the HP Smart app on your device, and youre ready to print (and even scan and copy) wherever you are. This makes it perfect for digital
nomads who are hardcore Apple fans, and among the best printers for Mac if youre looking to save space.

Simple and small laser printer for the Mac user Category: colour laser
printer | Print speed: 18ppm | Paper sizes: A4 | Paper capacity: 150 |
Weight: 10kg Small in price and size AirPrint and Ethernet No auto-duplex No display

This colour laser printer could not be smaller or more basic in its design. Theres no LCD, no front USB port and very few features. It cant even print on both sides of the page. However, if you only want to print on plain A4 paper and dont need auto duplex, then this refreshingly basic print-only device
will do so quickly and cheaply. Being a laser, it easily undercuts the
running costs of an inkjet. Wi-Fi with AirPrint is built in, so itll connect readily to a Mac, or iOS device and its one of the few printers weve come across that includes a USB cable in the box.

Canon Pixma G4510

Canon cuts ink cost with its cartridge-less solution Category: 3-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 10ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 100 | Weight: 5.4kg Low ink cost Plenty of ink included High price point
Small display

By swapping ink cartridges for bottled ink, this inkjet printer has a far higher page yield and much lower per page cost. You can clearly see when the ink reservoirs are running low and with Wi-Fi built in and AirPrint compatibility, its easy to scan and print using your Apple device and the iOS companion app. It can auto duplex print and includes an automatic document feed and fax facility.
