The best inkjet MFPs with built-in CISS

A printer, scanner and copier in one compact bottle - this is what the Canon PIXMA G3430 model is, aimed at basic use at home and in small workgroups.

The device supports classic inkjet printing technology with a print speed of about 11 ppm in monochrome mode and 6 ppm in color (with 5% paint coverage). The model takes 45 seconds to print one 10x15 cm photo. The resolution is up to 4800x1200 dpi.

The Canon PIXMA G3430 has built-in containers for pigment black paint and water-soluble color inks. With full toner tanks, the MFP can print over 6,000 black-and-white prints and 7,700 pages in color. The ink tanks are supposed to be refilled using spill-proof bottles.

The device's scanner supports documents and photos up to A4. Its resolution reaches 600x1200 dpi. Of course, the model also has a copier function. And sending documents for printing or scanned files to a computer is done via a traditional USB connection. As a bonus, the model has Wi-Fi and compatibility with mobile printing services.

The compact Hewlett-Packard Smart Tank 580 MFP can handle tasks such as printing documents and photos, scanning and copying various materials for home or office purposes.

The competitive advantage of the model over its colleagues in the workshop is the pre-installed factory CISS, which is built directly into the device body. The MFP is supplied with large ink reserves as standard - the complete set of inks is enough to obtain about 18 thousand black and white prints and over 8 thousand pages in color. With moderate use, you will need to buy more paint only after 2 - 3 years.

The HP Smart Tank 580 is by no means a record-breaker in terms of the speed of printing, scanning and copying documents. The model is more suited to a measured pace of use. It prints monochrome prints at 12 ppm, and color prints at 5 ppm (according to ISO). The device takes 1 minute to copy two full-color pages, and about 76 seconds to print one 10x15 cm photo.

A significant advantage of the MFP is the ability to print and scan via Wi-Fi, for which the services of the functional HP Smart mobile application are offered. It even has a basic photo editor. The device also supports integration with Google Cloud Print, Mopria, HP ePrint cloud printing services. In the end, the model captivates with its advanced functionality, low cost of obtaining prints and requires minimal intervention in terms of replacing consumables.

The Epson EcoTank L3210 inkjet printer is suitable for home use and small office equipment. The device supports monochrome and color printing, and can scan and copy documents.

The model fits perfectly into the concept of limited workspace - the dimensions of the MFP case are 375x347x179 mm, and its weight is 3.9 kg. The device takes up a minimum of space on the desktop. The device is based on Micro Piezo printing technology, which ensures high speed of obtaining prints without the slightest heating. Thus, in monochrome printing mode, the rate of issuing finished documents reaches 33 ppm, in color - about 15 ppm.

As for photo printing, the device produces a maximum print resolution of 5760x1440 dpi. It takes 69 seconds to print one full-color photo in the popular 10x15 cm format. Borderless printing is supported. The MFP has built-in large-capacity ink tanks for black, yellow, purple, and blue ink. A full tank fill is enough to print up to 4,500 monochrome prints and up to 7,000 color prints.

The scanner in the MFP has a resolution of 600x1200 dpi - this is quite enough for high-quality digitization of documents from paper media. The model is only disappointing in its meager connection options - the user is provided with only a USB port for connecting to a computer.

The four-color 3-in-1 device from Brother works with media up to A4 format and in terms of productivity belongs to the SOHO (home and small office) class of printing equipment.

The device's crowning feature is the built-in continuous ink supply system (CISS). It consists of containers for water-soluble ink in black, yellow, cyan and purple. Filling the tanks with ink is enough to print up to 7,500 black-and-white pages and 5,000 color prints.

The model satisfies basic needs for printing, scanning and copying documents. In a minute, the MFP can print 17 monochrome or 9.5 color prints (according to ISO), make up to 12 black and white copies. The device is suitable for both ordinary paper with a density of 64 g / m² and high-density media (up to 300 g / m²).

The Brother DCP-T520W has a USB port for wired connection to a computer or laptop, but the built-in wireless Wi-Fi connection is much more useful. Using Wi-Fi Direct and Apple AirPrint technologies, printing and scanning of documents can be handled from mobile gadgets running Android or iOS.

The cartridge-free MFP from Epson with the model index L3560 has built-in ink tanks and prints using the proprietary Micro Piezo technology.

In low quality, the device develops a monochrome print speed of up to 33 ppm, and when printing at ISO - about 15 ppm. Color printouts accumulate in the MFP output tray in the amount of 8 ppm. The model can also print full-color borderless photos in sizes up to 13x18 cm. Printing one such photo takes 69 seconds.

Epson EcoTank L3560 is not only a color inkjet printer with a built-in CISS. In parallel, the device performs tasks on scanning materials from A4 paper media, can make monochrome and color copies of documents(including with fast scaling). The model supports traditional USB connection to a computer and wireless printing technologies over a Wi-Fi network.

The ink bottles for the device are made in bottles with a built-in valve to protect against accidental spills. Factory stocks of paint are supplied in sufficient quantities to produce over 3,600 black and white prints and 6,500 pages in color. Ink is significantly cheaper than replacement cartridges, and their volume in containers is much larger - thereby ensuring extremely low printing costs.
