The OKI C3600n ($399) color laser printer is network ready and prints at an impressive speed compared with its competition, but it’s larger than most printers and lacks fancy extras such as a full-color LCD screen or a wireless print server.

Canon’s Pixima range of desktop printers has had a pretty good life from the perspective of sales. When it comes to performance, it hasn’t fared all that bad either. The latest form the company is from their iP2600 series - the iP2680 desktop inkjet printer.
On the plus side the iP2680 is quite light weight so it’s easy to move around although that shouldn’t really be necessary at all. While it may have the look of classy styling with its sleek black glossy finish, it’s also quite the finger print magnet. The front output tray is not something that can easily get in the way of work space and the extension can easily be swung inside to save on space again. The tray even comes with a sensor that will notify users that a print has been given and the tray is closed. It’s designed to be as compact as possible while retaining the design and form of a rather traditional desktop printer.
It has a very simplistic design, like most printers. There aren’t too many buttons or settings you need to worry about. It’s print and go. A small switch is located just inside the front panel (very easily accessible) to choose between regular paper or envelope. The USB port is conveniently located at the rear on one side. I really wish they’d provide longer USB cables. In case your CPU happens to be on the opposite side you’ll end up either having to move it or have the wire stretching across your table. This is perhaps the only faux pas in the otherwise sleek design.

Design

The TX700W looks dinstinctively different from other Epson printers.
It’s a rarity to come across a printer that has such strong design aesthetics as the TX700W. Coming from the same design house that gave us Pinocchio washing lines and mouse-shaped objets d’art, the Castiglione Morelli-designed printer is definitely a little different from the rest of the pack.
