Top Rated Printers to Buy

It's really difficult to choose a printer to buy. Should you get an inkjet, or a laser, or something else? Often there are printers that will print your photographs, or ones that act as a photocopier. You can get a black and white printer, or color. I have put together this list of printers for you to browse before you make a decision about which one to buy.

The price of printers has come down a lot in recent years, so while laser printers could traditionally only be afforded in large corporate offices, now they are often under $100 and made for the home office market.

Many companies produce printers: HP, Canon, Lexmark and Epson to mention just a few.

The price to quality ratio is very good.The printer meets the daily needs with good print quality.It's just a little noisy and slow, but sufficient for a low volume printer and printing homework. It should be noted that it is not sold with the USB cable which has to be purchased separately. There is no tray which catches the paper when it comes out, so it drops to the floor.

Multi-function printer that has a rugged appearance and looks attractive, it is very quiet compared to other printers. It takes different sizes of paper, but the minus is that for each size of paper, you have to change the paper tray. It would be better designed if you didn't need to do that.

The set up was really easy and the quality of printing is good. There are very clear directions from Hewlett Packard that make set up a breeze. The only downsize is that is is noisy and vibrates a lot. Good wireless printer for the price.

Double sided printing. Fast and silent thanks to the standby, excellent value for money, saving ink as the toner lasts a long time.Very easy to use and install.

Brother makes a lot of this type of printer, low-end black and white laser printer that gives laser quality at a good price. There are other Brothers very similar to this one, they just work and keep on working. This one has a copy function in addition to being a printer. The basic printer is great.

With all the electronics today we need a printer that will attach to computers, laptops, phones and other electronics. This one does the job really well. A wireless printer, so it can be placed anywhere in the house. Set up took about 20 minutes.

Print quality is excellent. Not photo quality but very close. It's a little noisy when printing, but not unreasonably. It will print directly from a thumb drive which is a nice feature.

Inkjets are cheaper initially, but the companies make their profits on selling the replacement inks for them. A toner for a laser printer will probably last a year of average usage. Toner cartridges are more expensive, but they last much longer. If you can buy one, home laser printers usually worth the initial expense over the long run.
