Epson Stylus SX100 budget all-in-one

Epson's new Stylus SX100 multifunction printer isn't just cheap to buy, it's pretty reasonable to keep running thanks to its low cost individual ink cartridges. As you can replace each colour separately, at just £5.99 a pop, you don't end up throwing away unused ink as you would with a combined unit.

Despite its budget roots, it's still a pretty speedy performer - capable of churning out prints at a maximum of 26 pages per minute. It can turn its hand to photos too and the Easy Photo Print technology can even remove red-eye before creating the final print.

It also comes with a 600dpi scanner and the bundled Easy Photo Fix software will help clean up scans of old photos, helping to restore washed out colour in faded shots.

The SX100 will be available in September for £59.99, see Epson for further details.

Canon Pixma iP100 portable printer

It's easy to make hard copies of your digital snaps when you're at home, but if you need to make duplicates while you're out and about then Canon's new Pixma iP100 is the perfect travel companion.

Despite its compact design it uses a five colour ink printing system and can turn out images with a resolution of 9,600x2,400 dpi. It's relatively speedy too - a borderless 10x15cm print should be in your hands in around 50 seconds.

If you don't want to have to mess around with cables then there's support for infra red beaming as standard with Bluetooth available as an option too. You don't need to worry about being near mains power either as there's an optional rechargeable battery available or you can get an adapter to power it from the car.

The Pixma iP100 will be available in May for £199, see Canon for further details.

Belkin Wireless USB Hub

If you're fed up with having cables tangling themselves up everywhere, Belkin has a solution with its new Wireless USB Hub. It uses the certified Wireless USB standard to allow you to cut the cord between your computer and your peripherals.

Simply plug your normal USB peripherals into the hub at one end and then attach the supplied USB adapter to your PC. As far as your devices are concerned, they're hooked up to the computer as normal, so you can print, scan or transfer files without a problem.

It has a maximum transfer rate of 480Mbps - the same as USB 2 - so it'll be as fast as a normal wired connection and it will work up to 10m away.

The Wireless USB Hub will be available in April for £129.99, see Belkin for more information.

Brother HL-2100 series

If you've been thinking about splashing out on a laser printer, but are put off by their high prices compared to cheap inkjets then take a look at Brother's new HL-2100 range.

Promising print speeds up to 22ppm (pages per minute), with the first page in your hands in under 10 seconds, the performance is impressive. And with prices starting at just £89.99 for the entry level HL-2140 model it's affordable too. An extra £30 gets you a network port on the HL-2150N while the top of the range HL-2170W adds wireless networking for £149.99.

The design does away with the traditional boxy look, using sleek curves instead and despite its small footprint the internal paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets. It also features a straight paper path feed, so it's suitable for printing on envelopes, labels and card.

The HL-2100 range will be available in January, see Brother for more information.
