Canon Pixma MP610, Photo All-in-One (3-in-1) with colour TFT screen and Easy Scroll Wheel.

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Scanners
from: Canon

September 18, 2007
I bought a Canon MP610 on 18th February 2008 and have used it regularly since then without a hitch.

There was something about its weight and sturdiness when I first got it, which, unlike other machines I've had in the past that were rather wobbly, was reassuring. And I haven't been disappointed.

It is an all-round winner.

My office is very small and my desk space is limited, but the size of this fine multifunction device is of no bother. In fact it is quite useful. I often use the top of it as a temporary home for A4 documents and things - just making sure not to cover the flip up operating panel. You can keep the paper output tray closed because it opens automatically when you start to print. Normal paper ... Read More:

Epson Stylus DX8400 All-in-One Printer

from: Epson

August 14, 2007
Have had my printer about 4 weeks now, and to be honest for the money I can't fault it. Easy set up, super print quality, super scan quality, and I'm still on the original set of ink cartridges after printing at least 100 photo's and loads of the kids homework. Printing straight from the memory card is easy with the little display screen and the instructions are straight forward..

The seperate ink cartridge system IS economical because you only have to replace the one that's empty not a complete colour cartridge which may still contain loads of the other colours...... Epsons production/large format printers have been using this system for ages...and it's not too difficult to keep a spare set of cartridges in surely!!! I've been setting the output ... Read More:

CanoScan 4400F Scan with Quality & Versatility

This device does what it's designed to do - no fuss, no complications, just slick operation straight out of the box. I use it with my Mac Book for scanning old 126 slides and it makes a tiresome (but worthwhile) task fairly pain-free if tackled in bite-sized chunks. The supplied software is intuitive and the build quality is high - in short it's very good value and highly recommended.

HP DESKJET D1460 colour ink jet printer, 16PPM A4 1200DPI

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Scanners

October 23, 2007
I found myself in need of a basic, no-frills (cheap) printer. I did the online searches - checked prices on what was available locally - & settled on this little beauty....

I made a point of reading the previous reviews here - generally it looked ok for the money & (despite some previous reviewers' reservations)I went for it. - It cost me less than 20 quid! -

(It also cost me an extra 14 quid for the USB cable) - But every advertisement I saw for this printer screamed that I would need to buy a separate cable - If previous reviewers missed this well.... Caveat Emptor - This is NOT a failing of the machine OR HP. It seems like almost ALL printers at this price need the cable as an extra - & why not? - (even the local retailers I visited surrounded ... Read More:

Veho VFS-004 5MP 35mm Negative & Slide Scanner With 5GB 'me' Account

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Scanners
from: Veho

June 23, 2008
Purchased this early September delivered on time by supplier, but applied to Veho for the 5GB "me" account, sending all the details of purchase as requested. No response tried 2 more attempts at even getting an email response from them NOTHING.
I say Don't advertise something you are not prepared to supply.
Product might work, not that impressed but as far as Veho are concerned would not want to deal with them again.
Customer service is SO important.
I had to rate as 1 star when really I wanted to rate customer service minus stars.

Epson Stylus DX4400 - Multifunction AIO Printer/Scanner/Copier

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > Scanners
from: Epson

June 11, 2007
I bought this item nearly 4 months ago and it has yet to impress me in any way. It is noisy, slow, prone to the jets clogging and the software windows are a pain to navigate. For example when the jets do clog you have to right click the printer icon and go to printing preferences and the back tab is maintenance. The printer has no option to print black and white so if you run out of a colour cartridge the whole thing stops. Until the cartridge is replaced. Epsom have made great effort with this to prevent anyone using other than Epsom cartridges and will even say the cartridge is not recognised on their own products. The printer uses ink at an alarming rate especially if the jets clog. My one has been unusable awaiting ink more often than it has been in use. I thought it was just that I had ... Read More:

Z Pen

from: Dane-Elec


I bought this for myself for note taking and ended up giving it to my daughter as she has jus started university, It works really well and the conversion is not bad either just a few things need to be ammended, slight problem with converting diagrams but save lots of time not having to type up notes, Many of her uni friends now want one.

My daughter now admits this is a better purchase than the new laptop that she bought having been told she would need one, she now realises that carrying a laptop around is not really that feasible but this little product just fits in any pocket and can be used in any environment and then taken home and popped into any type of computer laptop or desktop.

Routine scanning of pictures and documents is fast, accurate and of high quality on the default settings. I am very satisfied with the digitisation of colour positive slides and the bundled software is a real bonus. Overall great value for money.

hp laserjet P1006 printer

I completely regret purchasing this unit, and you will too, if you are using a mac. Moreover I completely regret listening to the recommendations of the sales team at CanCom in Cambridge -- who assured me that this was machine would perform outstandingly well on a mac. Because it really doesn't. And I believe this is known to HP who have a very stock set of tech directions to ostensibly sort it out. But it hasn't and doesn't... and most likely won't for you either! Thus far I have spent hours trying to configure and reconfigure this machine... almost as long as I have been waiting for a measly 1mb pdf to print. But it won't... and won't for you either! Best of luck to all you mac printer shoppers looking for a well performing monochrome laser printer... and if you find one (which you might if you ... Read More:
