- Lexmark Z845

The Canon Pixma iP1700 and the Lexmark Z845 (both $50) finished in third and eighth place, respectively, and surprised us with nice, black text and acceptable photo quality.
For a premium experience when printing without a PC, both the fifth-ranked HP Photosmart D7360 and the seventh-place Canon Pixma iP6700D include media card readers and have large, built-in color displays, for a price of $200.
Meanwhile, if you want to print onto CD or DVD discs, two new Epson printers---the Stylus Photo R260 (in sixth place) and the Stylus Photo R380 (in ninth)---are the only models on our chart that can handle the assignment.
