Good, better, best

Three potent photo printers to suit every budget

Canon Pixma TS6150 £119/$45

This decent multi-function

A4 printer also does scanning and copying. It uses a general-purpose five-ink system but its photo quality is very good nonetheless and it’s inexpensive to buy, especially in the US.

Epson Expression Photo XP-960 £235/$275

The Photo

XP-960 offers a low-cost introduction to A3 printing, and it’s also a bit lighter and smaller than rival printers. The A3 print size is slightly smaller than the preferred A3+, though, and ink costs are higher.

Canon Pixma Pro-100S £359/$359

The Pixma Pro-100S is high-end A3+ photo printer that strikes a great balance between purchase cost, running costs, speed and print quality. We think it’s the best choice amongst the A3+ printers currently available.
