March 22, 2016March 22, 2016 Daniel Morial

Thinking of upgrading your basic printers to a modern all-in-one types that don’t just print but also scan and copy documents? It’s like having your own mini-office at home but without breaking the bank in investing on big and bulky machines.

Here are 5 great all-in-one printers from different makers we saw being sold in stores that are just under Php 6k.

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3635

Let’s start with the cheapest in the list and it’s from Hewlett-Packard. The HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3635 can be your go-to all-around printer. Its friendly design should compliment the environment thanks to its two-tone color. It also has built-in Wi-Fi, so mobile and wireless printing is possible with this thing. Being part of the Ink Advantage line-up of HP, original cartridges will last for multiple prints than the refill ones.

We were able to check out the printer for ourselves with our review of it here and it retails for Php 4,399.

Canon Pixma E460

Canon also has an all-in-one printer with built-in Wi-Fi in the name of Pixma E460. Design-wise, it’s a typical printer with a bed scanner sitting on top of it. Canon’s extensive cloud features are onboard including direct printing from popular online services.

The Canon Pixma E460 is available for Php 4,495. For more details, check it out at Canon’s portal here.

Brother DCP-J100

If you want a more business-looking companion in your house, the Brother DCP-J100 is worth checking out. It still scans, prints, and copies documents but doesn’t have a built-in Wi-Fi. In exchange of the wireless functions, this printer works faster with a 27 ppm fast mono printing feature. It’s also part of the InkBenefit line of Brother printers with low-cost high-yield cartridges.

The DCP-J100 has an official SRP of Php 4,950. Head over to Brother’s web page here to know more.

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 4535

Yet another HP printer is on the list and this is probably the best looking here. The HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 4535 carries the same feature of its 3635 sibling, but in a neater chassis and sleeker black color. Its design is also not a traditional printer box but resembles more of a flatbed scanner. The 2.2-inch touch display is a great welcome for easier and more natural operation.

The compact and eye-catching printer from HP sports a price tag of Php 5,420. More details about it here.

Canon Pixma E610

Let’s step up by adding faxing capabilities to the list with the Canon Pixma E610. The all-in-one printer from Canon sports a proper design without looking too boring for a home-office. What sets this apart from the printers above is the integrated auto document feeder (ADF) and, as mentioned, faxing. Although, it’s not the fastest in its range at just 8.9/5.2 ppm for ISO mono/color printing.

The Canon Pixma E610 (official page here) is being sold in stores for Php 5,995.

That’s our 5 suggested all-in-one printers below six thousand bucks. If you have a particular suggestion, hit the comments section below. Happy printing everyone.

Epson Philippines announces not one, not two, but three new SureColor textile printers which are the company’s next-gen textile dye-sublimation printers. They were unveiled at the recent “Print Your Passion” fashion show.

From the three models that were launched (SC-F6270, SC-F7270, and SC-F9270), the SureColor F9270 is the most advanced and boasts speed, precision, and durability on top of having the original dual 1.5L ink tank system. It was, in fact, used by Avel Bacudio who is Asia’s Most Influential Designer for the aforementioned fashion show.

“Digital prints really make a difference; I am no longer constrained by traditional limitations. I can do a lot to express myself in new ways,” said Avel. “My new designs featured tonight were printed by Epson’s digital textile printer. For me, Epson is the best fabric printer to showcase the beauty of the Philippines.”

During the show, Avel brought his designs to life by using the textile printer to showcase its capabilities.

The F9270, with its faster speed provided by its dual print head, as well as our future endeavors, will continue to focus on this mission,” said Epson Philippines C&I Head Pamela Albar.

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3635 Review

November 2, 2015November 2, 2015 Daniel Morial Leave a comment

An all-in-one printer was delivered to the doorstep of YugaTech. While it is unusual to see printer reviews in the website, we don’t see why we can’t do a quick assessment. We have the HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3635.

Design and Construction

The printer from Hewlett-Packard is made out of matte polycarbonate splurged with white paint and blue tones. The scanning bed can be found where it’s usually placed, on top of the printer. Beside it is the status display that conveniently shows the ink levels and some quick information.

There are also 9 buttons for the operation of the printer – Cancel, Resume, Wireless, Information, Wi-Fi Direct, HP ePrint, Copy Color, Copy Black, and Power. Each button has unique actions which are stated in the manual. The paper feed tray is accessed by sliding it out and can be neatly tucked when not in use. Same goes to the paper tray in front of the printer.

The front also gives access to the cartridge holder when opened and there’s a nifty label behind it that indicates which specific HP ink is compatible. The DC-in and USB port is located at the back of the printer.

Features

The device is a multi-purpose home and office printer. It can print, scan, copy, and basically has everything you need in dealing with paperwork. It also has Wi-Fi so you can wirelessly print your documents.

Let’s run through the three main purpose of the printer:

Print

The main purpose of this device is to print. When we unboxed the printer, we immediately tested its wireless feature. We tried printing a single page PDF document from a Nexus 7 (2013). Thanks to the built-in support on Android (KitKat 4.4 and above), HP’s wireless printing feature worked flawlessly. There’s also a few options to tinker with like double-sided printing, print quality and more.

Traditional PC printing takes more setup than Wi-Fi direct. Upon finishing the setup and installation, you’ll have some software suite to get the most of the printer. A broader printing option is now available for better printing of a particular document or even a photo. You can go borderless, set the type of paper to use, or even choose presets.

Scan

With the installed application on your PC, you’ll be able to scan documents and save them into PDF or JPEG. You can manually crop the scanned file or let the software do the cuts. While quality of the scan is commendable for everyday use, the scanner takes some time to finish.

Copy

If you are in need of photocopy or “xerox” as popularly termed on the streets, it’s only one click away with this. It has buttons for direct copy, one for color and another for grayscale. Simply place any desired document and it will simultaneously print while scanning. Keep in mind that it can take up to A4 size only.

Print Quality and Speed

Like most inkjet printers in the market, the DeskJet 3635 will be enough for everyday printing, may it be for office or school use. Output quality and speed depends on the setting of your print job.

If done with “draft” printing on a good paper, quality is average with noticeable print dots on image while text looks a bit jagged. Choosing “best” option removes the roughness on text and improves image quality. Although, printing time takes longer. We wouldn’t recommend the printer for photos, but it can still do a decent job in inking colors.

Conclusion

The HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3635 retails for Php 4,499 with a black and a tri-color cartridge included. Like most HP Ink Advantage printers, the printer is costlier than the competition but the original cartridges cost are cheaper. In the long run, it will be a great investment.

What we liked about it:

Beautiful design
Wi-Fi direct feature
Status display

What we didn’t:

Limited paper feed
Noisy operation

Epson to release EcoTank printers, ink replacement every 2 years

August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

It seems that Tokyo-based giant Epson is planning to step up its game as they are reported to be releasing a whole new series of printers called EcoTank Supertank printers that aim to solve the prevailing problems of its inkjet counterparts.

epson-ecotank-2

One of the main selling points of the new series is that they have deep ink storage that could hold a lot more ink (could last around 2-3years each). These would reportedly print about 4,000 documents which is nearly twenty times more than the present home and small business printers.

Some of the features that these new printers would have include:

No more out-of-ink frustration
Freedom to print in color
Innovative, super-high-capacity, refillable ink tanks
Print thousands of pages without replacing ink
Ultra low-cost replacement ink

The EcoTank Supertank printers have been reported to arrive this September with the starting price posted at $379 (approx. Php17K). Although the price is actually higher than the usual printers, it sounds like it would still be a good investment against the current models since although these printers are more affordable, they require frequent changing of ink cartridges that are honestly cumbersome and sometimes even messy.

With Epson’s EcoTank printers, the company aims to deliver less time refilling and changing of cartridges while providing better quality prints. To know more about the printers, you may visit their official website.
