Samsung ML-1630W - Samsung

Samsung has clearly thought hard about the aesthetics of the elegant ML 1630W laser printer, so it's odd that it has lumbered it with such a cumbersome name. Regardless, this will sit well alongside the latest Macs, and its modest dimensions mean it will fit in any small home office... MacUserUK

Canon i-Sensys LBP5100 - Canon

Colour laser printers continue to both fall in price and rise in functionality, and Canon's i-Sensys LBP5100 provides a lot for its modest asking price. Styled with a steeply raked, sloping front, and simple feed and output trays, it's quite a bulky machine coloured in cream and grey... MacUserUK

Dedicated photo printers have been surprisingly successful. Although they can't print on plain paper or A4 sheets, they're easy to use, portable and quick for printing photos. HP has a good range of small, toaster-style dedicated photo printers, but there are a couple of things different about the Photosmart A636... MacUserUK

Samsung CLP-315 - Samsung

Samsung bills this machine as 'the smallest colour laser printer in the world' and there can be little argument with that. Not much bigger than a mid-range, personal, mono laser, it really does have a very small footprint - just 388 x 313mm... MacUserUK

Brother HL-4070CDW - Brother

The Brother HL-4070CDW is a behemoth of a color laser printer, weighing in at nearly 65 pounds. The manual even warns you not to pick it up by yourself. But thankfully, heaving it out of the box and onto a sturdy table is more difficult than actually setting it up or printing with it... MacLife

Oki C8800N - Oki

Oki Data C6000dn - Oki Data

The more color laser printers come down in price, the more popular they become. Now, even high-end features like built-in automatic duplex printing and 10/100BaseT Ethernet networking are becoming standard features on some sub-$1,000 color lasers, like Oki Data’s C6000dn. I love the printer’s crisp black text, quick print speeds, and its paper-saving, double-sided printing feature, but the C6000dn could use a little work on its graphics printing abilities ...

HP LaserJet 3390 - Hewlett-Packard

Macworld

Ricoh Aficio CL7100 - Ricoh

A reliable workhorse printer for your office is one of the most important investments you'll make. While network-capable inkjets and personal laser printers are appropriate in some circumstances, they're not suitable for heavy-duty use. The first reason for this is cost: inkjet printers in particular suffer from relatively high cost per page, but personal laser printers can also be expensive. ... MacUserUK

CLP-500 - Samsung

Samsung sent us its CLP-500, a printer that proved to be impressively quiet. It wasn't quite whisper-level when printing, but it wouldn't be a bother if you were on the phone next to it while it was churning out pages. This is due in part to the single-pass print technology - there's no large carousel rotating to present each colour in turn; instead, the toner cartridges are stacked in line inside the device ... read more at MacUserUK

Color Laser 3500 - HP

HP's Color Laser 3500 is an unusually tall device with a slightly art deco feel to the curved body shape. Despite its unusual height, the footprint of this device isn't particularly large, partly because it's one of the newer single-pass printer models. Its toner cartridges are stacked in a vertical column in the front of the printer; as the entire front swings out on a hinge at the base, changing the cartridges is a very simple task ... read more at MacUserUK

Magicolor 3100 - Konica Minolta

The print speed tests produced some interesting results. Printing from Photoshop was fast, and only two other printers managed to beat it in the 10-page text test. However, the QuarkXPress print speed results turned out to be the slowest of the bunch ... read more at MacUserUK

Magicolor 2350 - Konica Minolta

Konica Minolta's Magicolor 2350 was impressively small and, at its newly adjusted price of £749, offers fairly good value for money. It does make more noise when printing than most of the other devices here, so it could be a noticeable distraction in a quiet studio environment or a home office. However, its size and price do help make up for this to an extent ... read more at MacUserUK

Aculaser C1900PS - Epson

Epson's Aculaser C1900PS arrived in a dauntingly large box, but the device itself proved to be one of the most compact models in our collection. This printer shares much of the same internal mechanism as the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2350, and it's virtually as small. This could fit on a desk without demanding too much room, a point worth considering if you're pushed for space ... read more at MacUserUK

C5300N - Oki

Although Oki is a name that has long been linked with printing in the business world, it isn't necessarily a manufacturer you'd as readily associate with specifically Mac-compatible products.

C510 - Lexmark

Lexmark's C510 was a latecomer to our Labs test, as it has only just been launched. However, it proved to be worth the wait.

It was also easy to set up and maintain, and the image quality it produced was certainly up to design-level standards ... read more at MacUserUK

Laserjet 1012 - Hewlett-Packard

We've never thought of laser printers as cute, petite, or even smaller than a breadbox, but HP's Laserjet 1012 changes all of that. This compact laser printer measures a wee 14.6 by 9.1 by 8.2 inches and produces sharp-as-a-tack text quickly and without hassle.
