HP DeskJet 722C

If you need business-level quality and quick output but can't afford a color laser, the DeskJet 722C is the perfect compromise. Printing text at 4.1 pages per minute, it's the fastest ink jet we tested. The 722C's output also looks better than similarly priced ink jets'; the sharp text looks almost as good on plain paper as on ink jet paper--something few ink jets can boast. Color graphics are smooth, with realistic hues and subtle details; gray-scale graphics are equally attractive. The stylish printer is also quiet, a welcome attribute if you're often on the phone.

A bundled CD-ROM includes Corel Print & Photo House Select, Streetwise Software's By Design, and a 32-page crash course in graphic design. There's no optional paper tray, so you can't augment the 100-sheet input capacity (which is the same as most ink jets').
