There's a versatile printer at the heart of this MFP, but it's let down by its frustrating controls and nannying driver interfaces.

The MG8150 produces good prints and great scans, but it's very expensive to buy and run.

At this price it's hard to fault the MG5150. If you don't need network sharing, look no further.

Although it's cheaper to run, this printer is outclassed by Epson's PX720WD.

This big, stylish MFP is a great all-rounder, but it's quite expensive to run. Epson's PX720WD just has the edge.

This compact inkjet produces truly great photos, but it lacks a scanner, card reader or network interface. We expect more at this price.

This MFP does everything adequately, but nothing particularly well. High print costs compound these problems.
