A speedy inkjet with plenty of business features Category: 4-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 20ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 150 | Weight: 8kg Fast printing 35-sheet ADF Average print quality Noisy in operation

This boxy all-in-one wont win any beauty contests, but the impressive feature set is more attractive. It can hold 150-sheets of paper with another 35 in
the automatic document feeder and it can churn them at a faster rate than
many laser printers. Being an inkjet, its colour and photo performance is strong and also economical, particularly if you upgrade to Epsons high capacity cartridges. Every feature we can think of, from faxing to cloud printing is covered by this competent four-in-one. Read our full Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4630 review . (Image credit: Image Credit: Brother) 3. Brother MFC-J5330DW printer

An all-in-one with added A3 capability Category: 4-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 22ppm | Paper sizes: up to A3 | Paper capacity: 300 | Weight: 16.9kg Vivid colour prints Compact A3 printing More costly than laser A4-size scanner

This all-singing all-in-one comes with a long list of features and equally impressive specifications. The paper tray can hold 250 sheets and the automatic document feeder, another 50. Its maximum print speed can rival
laser printers and the cost per page is only a little higher if you buy the high capacity inkjet carts. Colour prints look bold and bright, but this machines party trick is its ability to print on A3-size paper. Read our full Brother MFC-J5330DW review . (Image credit: Image Credit: HP) 4. HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw printer

First class laser printing and photocopying Category: 4-in-1 mono laser printer | Print speed: 28ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 300 | Weight: 16.9kg Crisp print quality Rapid print speed Expensive Bulky

If you have the space for it, this multifunction device will serve a small business well thanks to its consistently crisp print quality, useful 35-sheet automatic document feeder and automated photocopying skills. This is a mono machine and its not the fastest laser on the block, but its quicker than any inkjet and offers an attractive blend of features and performance.

HP Envy 5055 (5010 in the UK) printer

Affordable AIO with a forte for photos Category: 3-in-1 colour inkjet printer | Print speed: 10ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 100 | Weight: 5.4kg Affordable Simple to use High ink cost Poor connectivity

This compact and affordable all-in-one can print, scan and photocopy, but its real strength is in printing photos on photo paper. To meet the price point, its fairly light on features, so theres no Ethernet port, or front USB port for example and it prints very slowly, but the results are rather good when
it comes to full colour photos. The supplied starter cartridges are rather light on ink, but if you replace them with high-capacity carts, then the running cost is fairly competitive too. (Image credit: Image Credit: Lexmark) 6. Lexmark MB2236adw printer

All-in-one laser comes loaded with features Category: colour laser multifunction device | Print speed: 23ppm | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 251 | Weight: 26.8kg Strong security Crisp colours Not especially fast

Lexmarks heavy duty all-in-one is a reliable workhorse for the busy home office, or small business. Theres plenty of room for paper and toner, so the recommended monthly duty of 250-2,500 is realistic. With duplex scanning as well as printing it makes a first class photocopier. Its not the fastest
laser printer out there, but a wealth of security features and an easy interface more than makes up for the shortfall. (Image credit: Image Credit: TechRadar) 7. Brother MFC-J5945DW printer

The inkjet all-in-one that prints like a laser Category: 4-in-1 colour inkjet MFD | Print speed: 22ppm | Paper sizes: up to A3 | Paper capacity: 500 | Weight: 21kg A3 capability High paper capacity Inconsistent prints Less economical than laser

Brothers broad range of business-like all-in-ones includes both laser and inkjet models and sometimes the line between them is blurred. This feature-packed four-in-one device prints as quickly as a laser and has a high capacity for ink and paper, but being an inkjet, its also very good at printing photos. Its also a little smaller than an equivalent laser model and youd be hard pressed to find a laser at this price that can handle A3 paper. Read our full Brother MFC-J5945DW review .

Refillable tanks give this 3-in-1 an edge Category: All-in-one color inkjet printer | Print speed: 33ppm (mono) | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 100 sheets | Weight: 5.5kg Plenty of ink in the box Economical to run No ethernet port No automatic document feeder

The Epson EcoTank ET-2760 (known as the ET-2756 in UK ) costs considerably more than Epsons cartridge based all-in-one printers, but in the long term, the refillable tanks promise to reduce your consumables cost by up to 90%. This is a well specified and fully featured three-in-one device with Wi-Fi, duplex printing and a rapid monochrome print rate. What really sets it apart from the cartridge crowd though, is the generous amount ink included in the box enough for 7.500 black and white pages, or 6,000 color.

G7020 printer (G7050 in UK)

Affordable photos just part of this 4-in-1s appeal Category: All-in-one color inkjet printer | Print speed: 13ppm (mono) | Paper sizes: up to A4 | Paper capacity: 250 + 100 sheets | Weight: 9.6kg Strong all-rounder Inexpensive ink Small display Slow print speed
