Macworld's Epson WorkForce 520 All-in-One Printer Coverage

  • Epson WorkForce 520 The Epson WorkForce 520 color inkjet multifunction printer deserves credit for breaking two inkjet stereotypes. It is not slow--in fact, it's blazing fast. Its inks are not expensive, either--they're impressively cheap, as is the machine's purchase price.
  • Top-rated multifunction printers These top-rated multifunction printers offer a wealth of variety and functionality. Choose an inkjet or laser model to print, copy, scan, and in some cases, fax.
  • Top-rated wireless printers There's a huge variety of printers with wireless capabilities at a range of prices. Whether you're looking for a home or office unit, or considering a laser or an inkjet, there is one out there that's just right for you. Check out the wireless models we've reviewed in 2010.
  • Epson unveils new 'gallery quality' image printer The Epson Stylus Photo R3000 debuted this week, promising to produce nine-color "exhibition quality" prints on glossy, matte, and fine-art paper stock up to 13 inches wide and 44 inches long.
  • Network printing demystified The days when sharing a printer over a network required strange voodoo rituals are largely over, but today's heterogeneous configurations that include Windows, OS X and mobile devices pose a challenge of their own.
  • Best bargain printers Some printers that have a low sticker price will kill you with high ink costs. But our bargain printer picks treat your budget gently now and over the long haul.
