Group Test

Eight photo printers for A4, A3 and A2 output, to suit various price points

With so much working from home going on, printers have become big news over the last year. But printers aren’t just for workaday jobs like creating documents and spreadsheets: they can also turn your digital images into physical photographs. Indeed, some of us feel that a digital photo only becomes ‘real’ when it’s printed onto a sheet of paper, rather than existing purely in the digital realm.

For this group test, we’ve started small, but not too small. We’re kicking off with four A4/8.5-inch models that are eminently suitable for creating mono and colour documents, while also working well as photo printers for outputting bordered or borderless glossy prints in popular sizes including 4 x 6-inch, 5 x 7-inch, A4 and 8.5 x 11-inch. We’ll then work our way up through specialist photo printers in A3/11-inch, A3+/13-inch and A2/17-inch configurations.
