Best Buys
The Which? Best Buy award is given to
products with high total test scores that perform consistently well in
our rigorous lab tests and excel in all key areas.
Energy Savers
We award the Energy Saver logo to
products that our testing shows are very energy efficient, meaning
they'll cost you less to run.
Don't Buys
The Which? Don't Buy logo alerts you
to the products that performed extremely poorly in one or more key
areas of our tests.
Print quality
As rated by our independent expert viewing panel.
Print speed
We don't rely on manufacturer claims we time each printer as it prints.
Launch date
Older models may be harder to track down - but you may find a bargain. Test programmes and key features change over time but we re-evaluate results for older models to make them as comparable as possible with newer models.
Ink Type
Dye-sublimation printers can be a little noiser than inkjets but this is the only difference our tests have found between the two types of small photo printer.
Operable on battery power
Printers that operate on batteries can be taken out and about easily. But be aware that you'll have to charge them at home first and the number of photos you can print varies greatly depending on brand.
PictBridge support
Ensure the printer supports PictBrige so you can print directly from your digital camera.
Memory card support
Make sure you check the type of memory card your digital camera takes before buying a printer.
