Inkjet-Printer: Heavyweights From Canon, Epson and HP
After spending years turning out the same products, the three major players in the inkjet market have now decided to go their separate ways. The new Canon printer has a raft of extra modules making it a bit like a tank, the HP has an LCD screen and integrated photo retouching, and the Epson has gone for cost-effectiveness with new ink and a model at half the price of the others. So which of them is right?

High-End Scanning: Epson Perfection 3200 Photo
OEMs today try to squeeze everything they can into a single box. Scanners are more often than not combined with a printer or a fax. The days of testing single-task scanners were long over, we thought. But evidently, demand exists for high-end scanners that offer resolutions and performance beyond what all-in-one models offer. We thus decided to test the most popular stand-alone scanners. Much touted by professional photographers ever since it entered the market, Epson's Photo Perfection 3200 proved to meet our high-end criteria.

Printing Your Own CDRs With Ink
Once reserved for Corporate America and those with a fat wallet, the ability to use a consumer level ink jet printer to print on optical media comes home. Now the average consumer can forget about toying with adhesive labels and just print right to the disc. It can be as easy as it sounds can it? Another marketing ploy or a useful feature?
... After additional discussion with Kyle, he pointed out that Epson has designed several of their new printers to be able to print directly upon printable CDR media. ...

Under Scrutiny: Four 1200 dpi Scanners
The new generation of scanners uses all of its wiles to tempt you. Scanners have plenty of attractive selling points for 2002, and even the most modest of the bunch is happy to add a range of buttons to the front of the casing and improve the design. Scanners with the most functionality have already adopted the USB 2.0 interface, so they are able to offer spectacularly fast processing time. Others offer units for scanning slides. Yet, in spite of being very different from each other, all of these models have two important points in common: they all have 1200 dpi CCD optical detectors and cost less than $200.

The New Speed Freak: Lexmark Z65
Lexmark has improved on its previous performance as far as speed and functionality are concerned. The new Z65 is clearly the finest printer that this American manufacturer has ever produced. But although the Z65 beats its rivals on paper, how well does it really perform when compared to the competition? To answer this question, we compared it with the Canon S520, the Epson C70, the HP Deskjet 940, as well as the company's own Lexmark Z53.
