At A Glance

The Epson Expression Home XP-410 Small-in-One will suffice for light home/student use. The print quality is surprisingly good, but ironically, the pricey inks mean you shouldn't buy this machine unless you don't print much.

The HP Envy 120 e-All-in-One is for those who do only a little printing and a little scanning, but who want to do it in style.
