Comparative Test Eleven multifunction printers: Copies: Quality and speed (text and photos)
That´s good news: All AIO´s in this test can be used for copying without switching on the PC.
AIO´s are very useful to get a fast copy, in color or black. All AIO´s in this test (except Epson and Kodak) have two buttons to choose either a black or a colored copy. Epson and Kodak require the use of the menu.
Text copy: Quality
We test quality and speed by copying one page of text (black/white, normal quality) and one A4-size photo (high quality). Both are printed on normal copy paper.
At the bottom, the table and the chart show qualities and periods of times.
