RSS FeedsOlivetti Linea Office review
Verdict:
The Linea Office produces excellent draft prints and is the cheapest MFP with a fax here, but its slow print speeds and poor scanning and copying capabilities let it down. Its mono print costs are fairly high and, strangely, cheaper when using normal rather than high-capacity cartridges, but it's the second cheapest printer in the group per colour page. If you don't need a fax machine, Canon's PIXMA MP520 is a better all-round buy, while Lexmark's X6570 is a better choice for a fax-equipped MFP.
