Keeping that in mind, we’ve rounded up a number of new, upcoming and recently-released models that should serve shoppers well in 2010. Check out the following list to see which best serves your needs, whether printing text, photos, craft projects or more.
Epson Artisan 810 All-In-One Inkjet Printer, $229.99
The Epson Artisan 810 is a jack of all trades, but doesn’t sacrifice quality for features like many multi-function printers. A built-in 7.8-inch touch panel with a 3.5-inch LCD display sets the Artisan 810 apart from the average all-in-one. It makes an excellent photo printer and supports both WiFi and fast Ethernet (10/100 megabits per second).
