The Canon PIXMA TS7450 is easy to set up, too, as it’s compatible with Apple AirPrint – so there’s no need to install any drivers. Print speeds are good and quality is excellent, with text and graphics looking rich and sharp – although for photos you’ll need to invest in some glossy paper, as prints of photos on plain A4 are middling.Īs well as being able to print on standard A4, A5, B5, and Letter-sized plain and glossy paper, the Canon PIXMA TS7450 features a 1200 x 2400 dpi scanner, and an automatic document feeder (ADF), which lets you scan or copy up to 35 pages at once.

The fact that it only needs two cartridges to run helps keep costs low. While it uses cartridges and not a more economical ink tank, the larger XL-sized cartridges promise hundreds of pages of black and colour ink prints. The Canon PIXMA TS7450 is an all-in-one colour inkjet printer, scanner and copier, aimed at home users, families and students.Įasy to use and versatile, the PIXMA TS7450 is both cheap to buy and reasonably cheap to run. Should you need it, there’s a USB-B port on the back for a wired connection too. There’s also the HP Smart desktop and iOS apps, which allow you to run diagnostic tests and print files from Apple iCloud. The device is easy to set up and configure thanks to AirPrint support, and it’s straightforward to send print jobs to the 7200e via Wi-Fi from your MacBook. The only other drawback is the lack of an automatic document feeder (ADF), although the 1200×1200 dpi scanner, which takes around 12-15 seconds to scan at 300dpi, means the Envy Inspire 7200e can act as a photocopier. While the Envy Inspire 7200e can print on A4, A5, A6 and B5 plain paper, it’s limited to 10x15cm, 13x13cm and 13x18cm glossy paper sizes – that’s fine if you’re only looking to print holiday photos, but a shame if you wanted to print on A4 glossy. Busier users who need to print hundreds of pages every month will be better off with an HP Instant Ink subscription – most places selling the Envy Inspire 7200e will bundle in six months of free Instant Ink. The Envy Inspire 7200e can also take the larger XL-sized cartridges, which are better value for money. HP Envy Inspire 7200e is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer which excels at producing crisp text documents and colour images including glossy photos quickly.Ĭosting just over £100 to buy, the HP Envy Inspire 7200e is reasonably cheap to run as well, as it uses two HP 303 cartridges (black, and tri-colour), so replacing empties is less hassle than a four- or five-cartridge printer would be. Of course, Macs have always been used for creative tasks such as graphic design and photo editing, so many Mac users may prefer to opt for a more specialised printer that is designed for graphics and photographic work.

So it’s always worth checking the technical info on the manufacturer’s web site to make sure that the Mac software provided with the printer includes all the same features as the Windows equivalent. One common weakness is printer software that provides duplex printing – two-sided printing, on both sides of the page – for Windows, but not on the Mac.

The problem here lies in the driver software that controls the printer, which may be different on Macs and PCs. Most printers these days are Mac-compatible, but we have seen quite a few printers that work better with Windows PCs.

Mac featuresĬhoosing the right printer is particularly important for Mac users, and owners of an iPhone or iPad. At the other end of the spectrum there are specialised photo printers that may use five or six different coloured inks in order to produce really colourful, high-quality photo prints. There are a few variations, though, starting with basic mono (black and white) printers that just use black ink on its own for printing letters and other text documents.
