Printing and Publishing: More Winners

Workgroup Printer

Lexmark T630n ($1100): This reasonably priced corporate laser shot to the top of our chart in June with crisp text output and fast print speeds of 22.3 ppm for text and 11 ppm for graphics.

Small-Office Laser Printer

Brother HL-5040 ($299): Brother's HL-5040 is USB 2.0-capable and delivers clean text and gray-scale graphics. It's fast, too--the HL-5040 churned out text at 13.1 pages per minute.

Color Laser Printer

Oki Data Oki C7300n ($2179): Okay, so it's not technically a laser printer, but this LED model (an Oki Data specialty) prints laser-quality pages at 5.5 ppm in color mode.

Multifunction Printer

Lexmark X5150 ($150): The $150 Lexmark X5150 has versatility to spare, with scanning and copying abilities to augment print quality equal to that of similarly priced ink jets.

Desktop Publishing Software

Adobe InDesign 2 ($699): This worthy challenger to QuarkXPress continues to gain converts on both the PC and Mac sides of publishing.

Web Design Software

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX ($399): Though pricey, Dreamweaver MX contains everything you need to design and publish a professional Web site.
