Coolest New Printers and Printer Features for 2009
The inkjet printer market is already so much crowded that finding a product is becoming difficult, much less comparing. Still, certain machines catch the eye and attention more than others.
One such machine for 2009 is the Brother MFC-6490W, the world’s first multifunction A3 inkjet printer. This printer has got an automatic document feeder, touchscreen LCD displays, and wireless networking technology. Further, the machine could copy, scan, and fax in A3 size.
Brother is releasing 3 printers in this A3 segment, targeting architectural firms and marketing organizations, where large size documents and floor plans are frequently needed. These machines come with high-yield ink cartridges instead of the standard ones, with even watermark facilities in some of the machines for sensitive documents printing.
The Epson Stylus CX5500 is one of the cheapest machines in the market at $100. However, there are limitations to this entry level inkjet printer. Copying facility is limited at one copy at a time. Scanning facility is also lacking. The saving point of the machine is the choice of the cartridges as 4 stand-alone units for the 4 colors, with standard and low cost options.
Lexmark released 18 inkjet printers in October, with many of them expected to arrive in the market in 2009. Two of the machines are fitted with a 2” OLED panels or organic light emitting diodes in place of LCD panels. Three models are launched as SOHO units, with and without fax functions. Most of the models are somewhat higher priced.
