Here is a link to a review of all 3. I guess you have already purchased a unit by now but this may be helpful to others: http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/printers/Pigs/page_1.html

Hi Benzin - I recommend the Canon MP 240 Series Printer I do all my Photo printing on this Printer and I am well pleased with it. Try it. Thanks for asking - Marie

I am sorry that I cannot answer your question. I sold the Epson printer seven months ago, and all I can say now is that the printer's performance did not meet my expectations. Perhaps it works well for others. Good luck.

The HL2280DW has copy and scan capabilities, which were additional features that I needed in a printer. If the copy/scan features were not desired then I would have purchased the HL2270DW. These two printers appear to be the same with exception of the copy/scan features. I don't know of any real advantages of purchasing one over the other. It's all about the features that one requires in a printer.

I don't know about the R200, but I'd sure steer clear of the Artisan 50. I set it up and ran exactly 3 prints, one in color, and sent it back. Color was poor and the machine was amazingly noisy for such a small printer. Even noisy in b&w. And, it took forever to get one print out of it.

Sorry, I don't know. My strong recommendation is that you read all the reviews on Amazon. My experience seems all too typical. I would rate this as by far the worst printer I ever purchased. It looks superb but is packed with hardware, communications and software glitches.

I sell these printers for a living. The main difference between the 8625 is it comes with a usb cable. Same software and drivers.

I have a C309g-m, which was cheaper and is a grotesque piece of garbage, in every way possible. I don't know anything about yours, so can't offer an opinion except to say I'll never buy an HP printer again. I had to get rid of a great Cannon printer that was perfect, but could not attach it to my new HP. Always a new rip off just around the corner. Good luck keeping that pig in ink.

I used this printer last semester in a photography class. The lab at the University of New Mexico used Epson 3880 printers. My prints both color and B&W were equal to the Epson prints. The Canon Pixma Pro-100 is a very good printer and with the rebates, it is the best bang for your printer buck.

While I own the Canon i9000 and am quite pleased with it, the ink formulas are proprietary and from what I've read Epson's are not. The ink differences have created an issue with WYSIWYG monitor to printer. (Monitor is calibrated).If I had it all to do again, I would probably go with an Epson printer.

HP 5280 inkjet all-in-one is the only one I've ever found to print great every time. HP no longer makes them, so I bought three additional ones from ebay that work well. Good luck!

Not really, but at the time I bought the Epson, I did a lot of on line research and it had the beat reviews and Consumer Reports liked it the best of the "picture printing only" copiers. I have had mine two or three years with no problems and still like it. Hope this helps.

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

hp officejet pro 8630 is faster, wireless & boots up immediately when turned on; I had a 8500 pro, used it a lot, but the 8630 is the best so far; been using hp printers for years
