HP

HP printers are some of the most affordable on the market thanks to its budget-friendly models and money-saving Instant Ink subscription service. They've also come a long way in terms of printing performance and quality. So if you're looking for a cheap printer and a great all-rounder for printing photos or scanning documents at home, an all-in-one printer from the HP OfficeJet Pro or Envy Pro series would be a solid choice.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8022

The first all-in-one printer making our list is the HP OfficeJet Pro 8022. It's a fairly well priced wireless inkjet printer, fully capable of working as a scanner, printing wirelessly from any smartphone and producing decent photo prints. Should you need to, it's also capable of sending a fax. It’s quick and easy to set up and simple to use on a day to day basis. It's speedy, has a generously sized paper tray and can auto print double-sided. Overall, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8022 is an ideal wireless and all-in-one printer for working from home and for general home usage.

Epson

Epson printers are renowned for their cost-efficiency and for making ink last a long time. From the Ecotank to the WorkForce, they offer high-quality features and great value for money. Print quality for artwork is great if you want to save on ink, and the brand is praised for having some of the best photo printers on the market. However, some might argue the colour accuracy and print resolution is not as great when compared with a printer from the Canon PIXMA series.

Epson EcoTank ET-2710

The Epson EcoTank ET-2710 performs impeccably well in a whole variety of ways. It can be operated using wired or wireless networks, and is also capable of scanning and copying. Print-wise, it boasts ultra-low printing costs and performs smoothly when printing text and documents. Printing speeds are a bit slower than average, which is worth noting if speed is a factor for you. It doesn't have a touch-screen but the buttons are easy to use.

If you're looking for a multifunctional printer that keeps the ink costs low and offers decent prints, scans and copies, the Epson EcoTank ET-2710 will perform admirably. However, if you're looking for an Epson printer with a few more bells and whistles and better at photo printing, be sure to check out theEpson Expression Premium XP-7100.

• XP-6100 for £93.83 at eBuyer via eBay
• Expression Premium XP-7100 for £149.97 at Amazon
• Epson WorkForce WF-4820 for £160 at Amazon
• Expression Photo HD XP-15000 for £299 at Park Cameras

Canon

While running costs tend to be higher than other brands, Canon printers offer exceptional photo print quality and vivid colours. The Canon Pixma series offers many variations and the cheapest Canon Pixma printer starts from around £40 up to premium prices of £700. They might not be the fastest of printers but if you're more interested in quality over speed, a Canon printer is ideal for your home or professional photo and fine art printing.

Canon Pixma TS8350

Earlier this year I was wracking my brain trying to decide on a printer that worked best for printing vinyl stickers and illustrated artwork. I was bouncing back and forth between Epson and Canon, scouring sites for the best prices and trying to find a printer that was actually in stock. After I decided to go down the Canon path, I was weighing up the reasonably priced Pixma TS8350, the mid-range Canon Pixma IP8750 and the premium Pixma Pro 200. I settled on the IP8750 as it guzzled less ink than the Pro 200, produced A3 sized prints and had a higher print resolution compared to the Ts6350.

However, if you're looking for great quality documents and photo prints for home use, the TS8350 will absolutely do the trick. If you're an enthusiastic and professional artist or photographer and have the extra cash to spare, the Pro 200 or Pro 300 would be an excellent investment.

• Canon Pixma TS8350 for £119.99 at John Lewis

• TS205 for £70 at Laptops Direct
• iP8750 for £230 at Currys
• G650 for £249.99 at Argos
• Pixma Pro 300 for £699 at Park Cameras

Mini printers

Mini photo printers print on the go from your smartphone. I personally love using the Instax mini Link to print memories as they happen. The HP Sprocket is another fantastic mini printer that prints your snaps using Zink technology onto sticker paper! What's great about these portable printers is that they're lightweight, compact, and they don't require ink! Film replacements, however, can be on the more expensive side. But if you like the appeal of having a physical photo to hand, these are fantastic little printers and currently range in price from around £75 to £110.

Kodak Step

The Kodak Step prints photos instantly at just the touch of a button. It works wirelessly via Bluetooth or NFC on both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Edit the photos in the app to make collages, add text, stickers, filters and borders to customise your snaps. The sticky-back photo paper features embedded dye crystals so you don't have to worry about replacing its ink.

The picture quality isn't fantastic however, a lot of these mini photo printers are designed for in-the-moment fun snapshots to stick in your scrapbook and diary or on your laptop. To put it simply, these mini printers are not trying to win a best photography award. The Amazon bestseller is compact, portable and hassle-free- perfect for use on holiday, at parties or on nights out.
