The inkjets in the first price category often include limited photocentric features like the ability to print directly from PictBridge cameras and memory cards. Inkjets in the more expensive category are photocentric to the point where you can effectively use the single-purpose printers as simple photo “kiosks” and the all-in-ones as standalone photo “labs.” They typically come with relatively large LCDs for previewing photos, and in some cases with touch-screen LCDs for giving commands. All-in-ones add the ability to scan 35mm film and print high-quality photos directly from slides, negatives, prints, memory cards, and cameras. Less common features include built-in optical drives to let you store images to or print from discs, and the ability to print labels directly onto optical discs.

Office inkjets include the few single-function printers and all-in-ones designed for relatively heavy-duty printing. They also include any AIO that adds office-centric features to the home all-in-ones’ ability to print, scan, and copy. Typically, they will work as standalone fax machines; fax directly from your PC’s hard drive; and scan to an e-mail easily, using your PC’s e-mail program and automatically adding the scan as an attachment. Office all-in-ones also add an automatic document feeder (ADF) for easy scanning, faxing, and copying of multipage documents, and they offer paper capacities of 200 sheets or more, often with a built-in duplexer (for two-sided copying). They usually leave out photocentric features.

You can count on almost any inkjet to print graphics well enough for both internal business use, like printing PowerPoint handouts, and home use, like printing party invitations. Pick carefully, and you can have output quality a graphic artist would be happy with.

It is also true that almost any current inkjet can print photos that at least match the quality you’d expect from your local drugstore. The few exceptions are primarily among printers aimed at offices, but even most office inkjets do a decent job with photos. Once again if pick carefully you can find all-purpose inkjets whose output rivals photo printers meant for professional photographers.
