Busier users who need to print hundreds of pages every month will be better off with an HP Instant Ink subscription–most places selling the Envy Inspire 7200e will bundle in six months of free Instant Ink. The Envy Inspire 7200e can also take the larger XL-sized cartridges, which are better value for money. The HP Envy Inspire 7200e is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer which excels at producing crisp text documents and colour images including glossy photos quickly.Ĭosting just over $200/£100 to buy, the HP Envy Inspire 7200e is reasonably cheap to run as well, as it uses two HP 303 cartridges (black, and tri-colour), so replacing empties is less hassle than a four- or five-cartridge printer would be.
Of course, Macs have always been used for creative tasks such as graphic design and photo editing, so many Mac users may prefer to opt for a more specialised printer that is designed for graphics and photographic work.

So it’s always worth checking the technical info on the manufacturer’s web site to make sure that the Mac software provided with the printer includes all the same features as the Windows equivalent. One common weakness is printer software that provides duplex printing–two-sided printing, on both sides of the page–for Windows, but not on the Mac.

The problem here lies in the driver software that controls the printer, which may be different on Macs and PCs. Most printers these days are Mac-compatible, but we have seen quite a few printers that work better with Windows PCs.
Mac compatibilityĪnother thing to consider as a Mac user is whether the features will all work with your Mac, and whether the printer has features like AirPrint, which will make the set up much simpler.
Beware that there are hidden costs when it comes to the inks though, which we discuss below. At the other end of the spectrum there are specialised photo printers that may use five or six different coloured inks in order to produce really colourful, high-quality photo prints. There are a few variations, though, starting with basic mono (black and white) printers that just use black ink on its own for printing letters and other text documents.
