  Review summary: This is more of a home-office machine than the similar HP Officejet J5780
  
  Pros: Photo enhancement options; Good picture quality
  
  Cons: Ink cartridges not supplied; Awkward direct printing
  
  Verdict: As well as the standard A4 paper input tray, there's a neat secondary tray that can accept 6 x 4- or 7 x 5-inch photo paper. Better still, the tray is motorised, so it slots into place automatically when you're printing photos onto either size of paper

  HP Photosmart C5280
  By David Bayon
  
  Review summary: Cheap, easy to use and quick. But the quality on offer lets it down.
  
  Verdict: When choosing an all-in-one printer for the home, you have plenty of options, and while the price, looks and some of the features of the C5280 may tempt many people, other competitors offer better performance in other key areas. The Canon wins for quality
