New Color Inkjet MFP Features DVD Burner DC

More is better in the world of color inkjet multifunction printers. Since all can print, copy, and scan (many can fax, too), adding more paper handling or wireless networking capabilities--as in the Dell 948 All-in-One or the Lexmark X6570, both new--can distinguish an otherwise ordinary unit. A few, like HP's second-ranked Photosmart C5280, can print onto specially coated CD or DVD media.

HP's new Photosmart C8180 All-in-One has a rewritable DVD drive that can etch a label or design on one side of LightScribe-compatible media, and then burn data on the other side.

The new Best Buy, Canon's Pixma MX700, lacks such special features but costs half as much. HP's C8180 and Lexmark's X6570 come with control panels and software that are especially easy to use.
