Wireless Printers: What’s next, Wireless Ink Cartridges?

These days everything is going wireless. From your home phone to your internet, your gaming controllers to your computer headsets, annoying cords are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Perhaps one of the lesser known appliances to recently meet this modern standard is the household computer printer. In this article Wireless Cabin will review 3 of the most popular wireless printers, ranging in price from the least expensive to the top of the line models, to see which of these puppies is going to meet your needs best.

1. The Cannon MP490 All-in-One Printer. RRP $112au

They call this model the All-in-One for a reason. It basically does everything you could ask it to do within reason considering the price tag. Cannon’s really done a great job of jamming features into this machine and the results are just what you’d expect; it’s a great printer for the home, it can handle pretty much anything you need it to, and the price is affordable. What more could you want?

2. The HP 110V MAINTKT LJ 4200 RRP $450au

I’ll tell you what more you could want. Providing you’re willing to pay a little extra you could want the HP 110V MAINTKT LJ 4200! While it’s true that this model is around 4x the price of the MP490, it’s also about 4x more powerful, and about 4x faster than its lesser-priced competitor. I guess what you’ve got to ask yourself is this ‘do I need to produce high quality prints in less than 5 seconds flat per page?’, if the answer is yes then this is the printer for you.

3. The Lexmark Platinum PRO905 INKJETPR-WLS 33PPM COL P/C/S/F (90T9005) RRP $469au

The most impressive thing about this fantastic little printer by Lexmark (aside from the length of the model number), is that although it’s around the same price as the HP110V, it’s able to do so much more. It even includes a 4.3” LCD touch screen that guides you through the printing process with attractive and colourful buttons. You can also create your own custom jobs online and print right from the web. The only problem we faced with this printer is that the Lexmark ink cartridges seem to be incredibly hard to get your hands on! Fortunately, following the above link will direct you to the stockist who was eventually able to help us out with this frustrating turn of affairs.

Well there you have it, the Wireless Cabin wireless printer extravaganza! We hope you’ve get all the information you need to make an informed opinion on which printer is going to be the right model for your needs. Adios amigos!
