Product Code: CB981B#BEV In the context of A3 photo printers, the HP Photosmart B8550 is almost a budget model, with an RRP of just £265. Does it have budget output though? Our tests suggest not - with crisp prints making the most of the machines fi...

Price is, indeed, relative. Buying one of the ubiquitous all-in-one ‘photo quality’ printers that are a staple at Staples will still leave you with change out of 50 quid for chips on the way home – but you can pay between £500 and £700 for a great A3+...

If you are looking to print large photos and still have the capability to use the printer as an everyday one, then HPs B8550 is worth a second look, as it blends the features of a large format photo printer with the everyday usability of a standard i...

We are not fans of the 4x6 print. A card full of images and a 4x6 printer make us wish we had a lawn to mow. You know, get out in the sunshine and get some exercise. Making a stack of 4x6 prints strikes us a drudgery. C O N T E N T S The Big Home Prin...

The new sweet spot for printer sizes appears to be 13x19, or A3+/Super B. Large enough to print 11x14 photos, while still fitting on the average desktop, these printers offer much more versatility than a letter size model does. It also opens up the p...

A general purpose A3+ printer may not be that mainstream, but there are enough people who need prints larger than A4 to make it a worthwhile inclusion in most manufacturer's ranges. HP has just revamped its models and come up with a strikingly designed pr...
