HP Deskjet D1560 Color Inkjet Printer

(Simon) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:02:00 +0000

HP printer doesn't look like much, and that's exactly the point. It can crank out 18 laser-quality black and white pages a minute, and 12 color pages a minute, and can also handle borderless 4" x 6" color prints, but its footprint is small enough (16.6" wide and 5.5" deep) so you can stash it on a bookshelf or under your desk, saving work surface area for more important things like coffee cups and Trapper Keepers. And you can get it for as little as $67. Shop for inkjet printers by price, manufacturer, and type.]]>

Canon Selphy CP770 portable photo printer. Actually, just the top half is the printer; it sits on top of a bucket that holds your paper, paper tray, power cord, and other supplies. The top panel of the bucket has big Fisher-Price style controls and a 2.5" LCD that lets you preview images before printing 4" x 6" photos (maximum resolution of 300 x 300 dpi). A fun thing to take to birthday parties - but not to the beach. More photo printers.]]>

Brother P-Touch PT-80 Label Maker

(Simon) — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:30:00 +0000

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress Free Productivity from a friend. While the author's system for getting your life organized felt like too much work, the most valuable thing we took away from the book was the importance of a label maker. So we picked up the $30 Brother P-Touch PT-80 and spent a day labeling file folders and filling recycling bins with a metric ton of paper we no longer needed. Now this may not sound like a rockin' good time to you, but our OCD was happy to be unleashed for a day, and the end result - a beautifully organized file cabinet with a lot more room - is a vision to behold.]]>
