Advent AWP10 inkjet printer-scanner multifunction device

Advent's AWP10 is a ‘multifunction' printer-scanner that's the bigger brother of the Advent A10 we've already reviewed.

The W and the P in the name indicate that this one has all the features of the A10 as well as a wireless network connection and a larger screen (better for photos, we assume, hence the P).

It looks similar to the A10, with paper feeding through from a flip-up holder at the back to an output tray at the front, and a scanner section on top that lifts off for cartridge installation.

It takes the same three-colour and black cartridges as the A10 and this was the source of the main downside. Although this device is cheap up-front, ink costs will be high: we worked them out at 5.5p for a standard page of text and 14.4p for a colour print.

That's higher than most of the competition, particularly as these devices are made for Advent by Kodak, which prides itself on low ink costs for its own-brand printers.

Still, quality and speed were both good and very similar to those of the A10 (no surprise as they share major parts).
