Why it's best: The Canon PIXMA MX870 tops our list for best overall inkjet printer due to its affordability, ability to print double-sided prints automatically, wireless connectivity, ease of use, and stunning print quality. Print quality is superb with a 9600 x 2400 dpi, which allows for high-resolution prints. Double-sided printing is easy to set up, which allows for automatic double-sided documents without having to manual input settings with every print job. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi on any 802.11g wireless network, iPhone printing directly from your phone, and Bluetooth printing from popular devices such as a smartphone or camera. The best feature? The PIMXA printer uses individual ink tanks, which allows you easy changing of one ink cartridge as needed, rather than changing the entire color spectrum. This can save you money and prevent waste if you tend to use certain color cartridges more frequently than others. Overall, the PIXMA MX870 has a wide variety of features, an affordable price, multiple wireless connectivity options, and stunning print quality. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: If the PIXMA MX870 is too expensive for your budget then consider the PIXMA MP560. The MP560 features excellent photo quality, double-sided printing, individual ink system, and built in Wi-Fi. Print quality has a maximum resolution of 9600 x 2400 dpi, which is perfect for high-quality photo and document printing. Typically, we see this sort of resolution quality on higher priced inkjet printers, which makes this printer ideal for someone looking for a high-quality printer with an affordable price. Wi-Fi connectivity on 802.11g wireless networks is perfect for reducing office clutter, while the memory card slot and 2.0” LCD screen allows you to print without the use of a computer. Overall, the PIXMA MP560 provides the same print quality as the MX870, but does not include all of the extras that the MX870 has. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: The all-in-one Brother MFC-495CW Inkjet printer makes our list for best overall inkjet printer due to its wireless connectivity options, range of features, and great photo quality. The printer utilizes built in Wi-Fi (802.11g) for wireless printing virtually anywhere in your home. Print resolution is great at 6000 x 1200 dpi, which is great for a home printer, but does not offer the same level of quality as the PIXMA models listed above. Copier, scanner, and fax are all included with the MFC-495CW, which is excellent for consolidating devices. The downsides? The biggest downsides are that the copier, like most all-in-one devices take a lot of time to copy individual documents, the user interface is rather complicated, and the overall feel is fragile. Overall, the MFC-495CW offers some great features at an affordable price, but has some user friendliness issues that we would have liked to see simplified. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: Beautiful prints, printing to CDs/DVDs, and wireless connectivity makes the Epson Artisan 710 one of the best inkjet prints available. Documents are printed at a rate of 38 pages per minute and high definition prints can be printed as fast as 9.5 pages per minute. The photo quality is excellent with the use of the HD ink required for the Artisan 710, which allows for great looking prints, but is expensive in the end. The built in wireless uses your Wi-Fi network (802.11g), and setting up the Wi-Fi is easy. The downsides? The biggest downside with this printer and nearly every other Epson inkjet printer is that it wastes ink. Although individual ink cartridges reduce ink waste, the cleaning cycle of this unit is costly and wasteful. Overall, this printer is great for daily use since ink waste during clean is often not a problem, but if you are looking for an occasional use printer then the PIXMA line of printers are a better choice.

Why it's a best pick: The HP Officejet 6000 made our list for best overall inkjet printer due to its affordability, built in wireless, and s quality photo and document prints. Print resolution is 4800 x 1200 dpi, which gives accurate print reproduction, but does not give the same level of detail that the previously mentioned printers have. The built in Wi-Fi utilizes standard 802.11g wireless networks, which allows for less office clutter. Overall, the HP Officejet 6000 is not as impressive as the previously listed printers are, but offers fast, high-quality prints for an affordable price. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
