the top spot for best home printer overall: It has the best blend of printing quality, price and speed to get print jobs to you quickly and effectively. Our tester timed printing from her PC, and from pressing the print button to the last of a six-page test landing in the tray, it took 35.6 seconds. From the moment the first page hit the tray, it took exactly 23 seconds, so it lines up pretty closely with HP\u2019s claim of 22-second print jobs for its \u201cnormal\u201d quality setting. It\u2019s not the fastest print job in comparison to the other printers tested, and it slows considerably if you put it on the \u201cbest\u201d print setting, but it was the most consistent.<\/p>\n<p>The top lid for the scanner is heavy, and you need to fully open it for it to stay in place; otherwise, it slams right back down. It also features an intuitive 2.7-inch touchscreen display, thought for those with larger hands, it may be in your best interest to opt for a home printer with a larger display.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion current=\"-1\"><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">The HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e is a sturdy printer with a useful, albeit small, 2.7-inch touchscreen <span data-ga-track=\"caption expand\">&#8230; More<\/span><span> display.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Victoria Hess for Forbes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Really, though, it feels like nitpicking, considering that the print quality was the best we tested. Grayscale and color print jobs came out looking sharp and clear, especially the radial gradients testing. For those frequently work from their mobile device, you can also use the HP Smart App to help you print; our tester loved the app because it was convenient and easy to use. Another nice perk: For parents, the HP Printables located in the app allows you to source and print DIY coloring books for your kids. It also comes with three months of the HP Instant Ink subscription, which detects when you\u2019re low on ink and automatically orders it for you starting at $1.49 per month. But unless you\u2019re printing oodles of paper, we recommend against this subscription model.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">The paper tray can hold 250 sheets.<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Victoria Hess for Forbes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that the ink cartridges are the real cost driver here: The replacement set of four EvoMore ink cartridges costs $239. With HP\u2019s claim the black cartridge prints up to 2,500 pages and color 1,650 pages, amounting to 3 cents per black and 9 cents per color page.<\/p>\n<p>Our testing noted also that every once in a while, the print jobs didn\u2019t print in order. If you\u2019re printing large amounts of paper, you may want to consider another printer on our picks, but it didn\u2019t happen often enough to warrant too much concern.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>The <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/forbes-vetted-best-product-awards\/2025\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/forbes-vetted-best-product-awards\/2025\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"2025 Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards\"><em data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/forbes-vetted-best-product-awards\/2025\/\"><u data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/forbes-vetted-best-product-awards\/2025\/\">2025 Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards<\/u><\/em><\/a><em> are here: Explore our 150 top-recommended items across categories after extensive research and testing.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><span>Best Value<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Forbes Vetted<\/p>\n<p><span><svg viewBox=\"0 0 60 60\"><path fill=\"#010101\" d=\"M28.3 38.4h3.3v-10h-3.3v10zM30 13.3c-9.2 0-16.7 7.5-16.7 16.7S20.8 46.7 30 46.7 46.7 39.2 46.7 30 39.2 13.3 30 13.3zm0 30.1c-7.4 0-13.4-6-13.4-13.4s6-13.4 13.4-13.4 13.4 6 13.4 13.4-6 13.4-13.4 13.4zM28.3 25h3.3v-3.3h-3.3V25z\" \/><\/svg><\/p>\n<p>Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Inkjet\u00a0<strong>| Features:<\/strong> Print\/copy\/scan\/mobile fax\u00a0<strong>| Wireless:<\/strong> Yes\u00a0<strong>| Size:<\/strong> 13.1 x 16.9 x 7.9 inches\u00a0<strong>| Color print:<\/strong> Yes\u00a0<strong>| Tray capacity:<\/strong> 60 sheets<strong> | Ink:<\/strong> 2 cartridges (Black, CMY)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Printing without spending a fortune on a printer and paper<\/li>\n<li>Students and teenagers who need a printer for the occasional paper due<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Skip if:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need fast print jobs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/midas.forbes.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr.bttn.io%2F%3Fbtn_ref%3Dorg-573936ce4fb26a96%26btn_url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.amazon.com%252FHP-Wireless-Printing-Included-714N5A%252Fdp%252FB0D7KCJT3W%252F%253Ftag%253D2024610-dj3jc5ttk6-20%2526linkCode%253Dll1%2526ref%253Das_li_ss_tl&#038;fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHP-Wireless-Printing-Included-714N5A%2Fdp%2FB0D7KCJT3W%2F%3Ftag%3D2024610-dj3jc5ttk6-20%26linkCode%3Dll1%26ref%3Das_li_ss_tl\" affiliate-data=\"{\"affiliateLink\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HP-Wireless-Printing-Included-714N5A\/dp\/B0D7KCJT3W\/?tag=2024610-dj3jc5ttk6-20&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref=as_li_ss_tl\",\"purchaseLink\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HP-Wireless-Printing-Included-714N5A\/dp\/B0D7KCJT3W\"}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalTextLink:67c21fde1e0f3b24fa9eda6b|finds|amazon.com|none|none|HP Envy 6555E|r.bttn.io\">HP Envy 6555E<\/a> is a great choice for those that don\u2019t want to spend a fortune on a printer. At around $160, it\u2019s frequently on sale for around $100. But it\u2019s not only the attractive price that nabbed this as the most affordable option: For a supposedly \u201cno frills\u201d all-in-one printer, our tester felt that it was packed with features, including faxing for those that need it.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of its design, it\u2019s a hefty beast; our tester was surprised at its size but felt it was still a lower profile compared to other options on the market. Setup was mostly easy, but she noticed that, \u201cyou have to push upward instead of downward to install the cartridges,\u201d a counterintuitive step that prolonged the process a bit. The small touchscreen display on the bottom left corner of the machine showed our tester the progress of the print jobs and error messages to help you troubleshoot.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion current=\"-1\"><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">The HP Envy 6555E is not only budget-friendly but it&#8217;s an all-in-one machine and offers scanning, <span data-ga-track=\"caption expand\">&#8230; More<\/span><span> copying and faxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Brinda Ayer for Forbes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The biggest drawback: print speed. Both monochrome and color print jobs come out very slowly. Our tester noted that it took 70 seconds for the printer to start printing the first page. A 10-page monochrome double-sided print job took about three minutes. Once the machine \u201cwarms up,\u201d though, it prints faster: The test page that took 70 seconds to warm up took 20 seconds to print. It\u2019s still not fast, so if you\u2019re only printing the occasional page, this printer will suit your needs just fine.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, the all-in-one model can print, copy, scan and fax, and the HP smart app allows you to scan and print from your mobile device. Colors and prints are high quality, and for the price, it\u2019s hard to beat. Our tester noted that, \u201cI&#8217;d recommend it for people with slightly more cramped desk space and people with tighter budgets, like students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a

jam-packed not only with the ability to print, copy, scan and fax, but it also has intuitive phone functions to help you scan and print from your mobile device. Yes, it\u2019s a beast and takes up a ton of space, according to our tester, but for the space it uses, it feels \u201ctargeted at small business,\u201d and \u201can especially busy household\u2014perhaps a few teenagers who need to print a lot for school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The print speeds are a little slower compared to others we tested: It takes 45.5 seconds from pressing the print button to the last page of a five-page job landing in the tray, and it spews out smaller print jobs in as little as 25.1 seconds. Again, most of that time comes from the printer booting up, since once the first page began printing, for the three-page job, it took 8.6 seconds. There\u2019s another factor playing into these times, too; our tester also noted that these print times are averages, since the jobs varied wildly during testing. The printer also works seamlessly with your phone to print, scan and send documents back and forth between devices and comes with cloud integrations.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">The Brother MFC-L3780CDW comes jam-packed with features.<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Dave Johnson for Forbes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For small businesses, it also comes with a unique feature: NFC authentication for extra security. It has three different paper trays, including a 30-page multipurpose tray for envelopes and other media. You can also use Brother\u2019s Refresh EZ print subscription to automatically send you replacement cartridges when the printer senses your ink is low, and our tester notes that the printer offers a complimentary first four months\u2019 service.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also pretty expensive at around $500. If you plan to only print an occasional page every so often, this is not the printer for you.

It has a small LCD display with physical buttons to direct the printer to copy, scan and print. Otherwise, using these buttons in conjunction with the display felt very intuitive as our tester printed jobs from both his laptop and the HP Smart App.<\/p>\n<p>Printing is pretty speedy on this device: We output six pages in 32 seconds from the second we pressed the print button. HP says the first page comes out in as little as 6.6 seconds, but when we tested a three-page print job, we noted that the entire job took 23 seconds from pressing print on the PC. From the first page to the final page landing in the tray, we timed six seconds, so there\u2019s a little bit of a disconnect here.<\/p>\n<p>During the entirety of our testing, we also noted no jamming issues. Like our top pick, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e, the software allows you to scan to email, a network folder and a USB drive. It also allows for remote printing and has support for Google Drive and Dropbox, which our tester liked. Like the rest of the HP printers on our list, the HP Smart App features a host of useful features including editing scans and on your mobile device and sending them to print.<\/p>\n<p>One major perk is that it makes double-sided prints automatically\u2014no need to print one page and then finagle the paper tray to print the other side. However, we found one caveat that may give some pause. It only offers black-and-white print jobs, so don\u2019t expect any color. For those printing black-and-white jobs on the regular, you can\u2019t go wrong with this device. Yes, you\u2019ll have to spend a little more, but it\u2019s not as expensive as our premium pick on the list.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption>\n<p><small>Amazon<\/small><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><h3>Brother HL-2460DW XL<\/h3>\n<p><fbs-pricing stripped-content=\"{\"authorGroup\":{\"primaryAuthor\":{\"name\":\"Rebecca Isaacs\"}},\"uri\":\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbes-personal-shopper\/article\/best-home-printers\/\",\"channelSectionMappings\":[{\"id\":\"channel_103\",\"channelName\":\"Tech &#038;

The printer itself is solid and sturdy\u2014just keep in mind that according to our tester, the black plastic surface is prone to smudge marks. It also has both an automatic and a manual feeder so you can print a host of mixed media as needed, from envelopes to labels. The buttons are big and the display is very basic, which we felt was a boon: It\u2019s very easy to use and operate.<\/p>\n<p>Prints came out clear without smudging. The print speeds were also pretty fast. It took 24 seconds for six single-sided pages to print from pressing the print button to the last. From the first page hitting the tray, it took 13 seconds, on average. Double-sided printing was little longer; a three double-sided print job took 35 seconds in total.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">The Brother HL-2460DW XL is one of the fastest printers we tested.<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Claire Epting for Forbes<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The printer also comes with a built-in app that allows you to print from your mobile device. During testing, this was the speediest of all: 22 seconds from start to finish, and once the printer booted up, the print took five seconds for a photo print. But that comes with a serious caveat: It can only print in monochrome, so don\u2019t expect any color. It can handle 4,200 pages before the toner requires a replacement, and you can opt into the Brother Refresh EZ Print Subscription, which can reorder toner for you when it gets low.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few major drawbacks. For one, it only prints, so you can\u2019t scan or copy. Our tester really liked that it didn\u2019t offer these features, as it didn\u2019t feel overwhelming when you\u2019re only worried about printing.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue is the firmware\u2014both Brother HL-2460DW models had firmware update issues that required a detailed deep dive with customer service to fix. If you can stomach this issue, this is a great printer to get most jobs done.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption>\n<p><small>Amazon<\/small><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><h3>Brother MFC-J5855DW<\/h3>\n<p><fbs-pricing stripped-content=\"{\"authorGroup\":{\"primaryAuthor\":{\"name\":\"Rebecca Isaacs\"}},\"uri\":\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbes-personal-shopper\/article\/best-home-printers\/\",\"channelSectionMappings\":[{\"id\":\"channel_103\",\"channelName\":\"Tech &#038; Electronics\",\"sectionName\":\"Tech &#038; Electronics\",\"url\":\"\/vetted\/tech-electronics\",\"specialSlot\":\"\",\"dsfChannelName\":\"\",\"dsfSectionName\":\"\",\"sponsored\":false,\"videoSpecialSlot\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"channel_103section_1984\",\"channelName\":\"Tech &#038; Electronics\",\"sectionName\":\"Home Office\",\"url\":\"\/vetted\/tech-electronics\/home-office\",\"specialSlot\":\"\",\"dsfChannelName\":\"\",\"dsfSectionName\":\"\",\"sponsored\":false,\"videoSpecialSlot\":\"\"},{\"id\":\"channel_94\",\"channelName\":\"Forbes Vetted\",\"url\":\"\/vetted\",\"specialSlot\":\"\",\"dsfChannelName\":\"\",\"dsfSectionName\":\"\",\"sponsored\":false,\"videoSpecialSlot\":\"\"}],\"bertieBadges\":[{\"id\":\"5f930a895a865a000611c9c7\",\"slug\":\"shopping-recirc\",\"displayName\":\"Shopping Recirc\",\"status\":\"active\",\"priority\":85,\"streamUrl\":\"\"}],\"naturalId\":\"blogAndPostId\/blog\/post\/4983-67c21fde1e0f3b24fa9eda6b\"}\" embed-data=\"{\"additionalAttributes\":[\"67c21fde1e0f3b24fa9eda6b|finds|mbbRetailerPlaceholder|24|Brother MFC-J5855DW\"],\"attributes\":[{\"type\":\"h2\",\"name\":\"Best Inkjet Home Printer\",\"id\":\"header-2\"},{\"type\":\"h3\",\"name\":\"Crisp And Vivid Images In Seconds\",\"id\":\"header-3\"}],\"callOutText\":\"\",\"findsLabel\":\"$300 At Amazon\",\"findsLink\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brother-MFC-J5855DW-INKvestment-printing-capabilities\/dp\/B09XSHJP86\/?tag=2024610-dj3jc5ttk6-20&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;ref=as_li_ss_tl\",\"findsNonAffiliateLink\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brother-MFC-J5855DW-INKvestment-printing-capabilities\/dp\/B09XSHJP86\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brother-MFC-J5855DW-INKvestment-printing-capabilities\/dp\/B09XSHJP86\",\"title\":\"Brother MFC-J5855DW\",\"vendorName\":\"Amazon\",\"showLivePricing\":false,\"isAmznPrimeExclusive\":false,\"productAlternatives\":[{\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/brother-mfc-j5855dw-inkvestment-tank-all-in-one-inkjet-printer-with-up-to-1-year-of-ink-in-box-white-gray\/6511267.p\",\"affiliatizedUrl\":\"https:\/\/bestbuy.7tiv.net\/c\/1201867\/614286\/10014?subId1=67c21fde1e0f3b24fa9eda6b&#038;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fbrother-mfc-j5855dw-inkvestment-tank-all-in-one-inkjet-printer-with-up-to-1-year-of-ink-in-box-white-gray%2F6511267.p\",\"callToAction\":\"$300 At Best Buy\",\"callOutText\":\"\"}],\"showAdditionalVendors\":true,\"price\":300}\"><\/fbs-pricing><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Forbes Vetted<\/p>\n<p><span><svg viewBox=\"0 0 60 60\"><path fill=\"#010101\" d=\"M28.3 38.4h3.3v-10h-3.3v10zM30 13.3c-9.2 0-16.7 7.5-16.7 16.7S20.8 46.7 30 46.7 46.7 39.2 46.7 30 39.2 13.3 30 13.3zm0 30.1c-7.4 0-13.4-6-13.4-13.4s6-13.4 13.4-13.4 13.4 6 13.4 13.4-6 13.4-13.4 13.4zM28.3 25h3.3v-3.3h-3.3V25z\" \/><\/svg><\/p>\n<p>Forbes Vetted ratings are based on thorough evaluations by our editorial team to help you choose the best products with confidence.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Type:<\/strong> Inkjet<strong> | Features:\u00a0<\/strong>Print\/Copy\/Scan\/Fax<strong> | Wireless:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes<strong> | Size:\u00a0<\/strong>21.5 x 17.2 x 12 inches<strong> | Color print:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes<strong> | Tray capacity:\u00a0<\/strong>250 sheets<strong> | Ink:\u00a0<\/strong>4 cartridges<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Printing graphics and illustrations<\/li>\n<li>Quick copies and printing jobs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Skip if:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need duplex scanning<\/li>\n<li>You have limited home office space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Inkjet printers are known to produce high quality documents with colorful, graphics-heavy images, and the Brother MFC-J5855DW is no exception.

(Duplex scanning allows you to automatically scan both sides of a page, without needing to flip the paper over.) However, this isn\u2019t a feature most casual users mark on their \u201cmust-have\u201d list.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">The Brother MFC-J5855DW printing out a six page document during our speed test.<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>ALEX GARRETT FOR FORBES<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Brother MFC-J5855DW also comes with an intuitive touchscreen display that makes navigating from tasks to task simple.

Additionally, this model can be paired with Brother\u2019s app, where you can print documents and pictures, scan and make copies all from your phone, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its color-printing prowess, we found its biggest downside is its size. While it\u2019s a great inkjet option for folks seeking a versatile printer that provides crisp, professional-looking documents, it\u2019s also pretty large and heavy compared to other models on this list.

Enter: The HP Smart Tank 7301. During testing, it printed gorgeous photos from the printer onto photo paper, which one of our testers greatly appreciated. \u201cIt saves me money and trips to the CVS photo pickup booth,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to other printers in this guide, it lets you print straight from your phone, tablet or laptop via the HP app. During testing, we were also impressed with its robust ink cartridge, which can print 8,000 color pages and 6,000 black-and-white pages\u2014enough to last most people two years, according to HP. Our biggest complaint? During setup, you have to pour the ink from six-inch tall bottles into the cartridge trays, which our testers found a bit tedious.<\/p>\n<p>Ink aside, the display is also a tad small, and our tester questioned whether it was intentional to encourage you to use the app. \u201cIt almost seems like it\u2019s intended to not be highly functional since you can control everything that you need to from your phone,\u201d says our tester, who added that she used her phone to do most printing-related tasks, including diagnosing issues and checking maintenance levels. That said, this isn\u2019t a big enough issue to disqualify the Brother from our list since the app is user-friendly and easy to navigate.

From the first to last page, it took 29 seconds for a four-page print job and took another seven seconds to boot up for a total of 36 seconds. It\u2019s also one of the most compact printers we tested, so it\u2019s great for smaller apartments or offices. The new budget pick, the HP Envy 6555E, edges it out with a sleeker design and an overall better build for office spaces.

In the end, a dozen total panelists tested over 13 different printers for over two months, taking detailed notes and snapping photos of the entire process. Our panel testing considered:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Build quality<\/strong>: All of our picks felt sturdy and well-made. We carefully reviewed various printer displays, taking into account the size and ease of use for touchscreens. We also tested printer tray hinges and mechanisms to see how well they held up after opening and closing multiple times, checking to see whether we felt they would hold up over time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Print speed: <\/strong>For print speeds, we tested in two ways: We timed the printing duration from pressing the print button to the last page landing in the tray; and we timed the print duration from when the first page came out to the last page. We reviewed it against the company\u2019s listed print speeds to make sure each printer held up to its claimed print speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Print quality:<\/strong> To be considered as one of the best home printers, we printed hundreds of pages, checking for ink blotting, color accuracy and more. We compared printed pages to make sure the printers we chose printed accurate, detailed documents and images consistently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extra features:<\/strong> Many of the printers on this list came with useful extra features, like app extensions, phone integrations like scanning from your phone and printing a document and more. We rigorously tested these to make sure they were worth your time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p data-ga-track=\"\n\n<h3><strong>What Factors Should You Consider When Choosing A Home Printer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Factors Should You Consider When Choosing A Home Printer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Print quality, speed and connectivity are the most important factors to consider when choosing a home printer. It\u2019s also important to consider how often you plan on using the printer and for what tasks, as your needs will vary. \u201cCasual printers may prioritize affordability but small business owners will typically require higher print volumes and features such as duplex printing and cloud integration,\u201d says John Yensen, President of Revotech Networks Ltd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p data-ga-track=\"\n\n<h3><strong>Should I Get A Monochrome Or Color Printer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Should I Get A Monochrome Or Color Printer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you plan on printing in color often, you should consider a color printer. Otherwise, a monochrome printer should be suitable for most of your needs. \u201cIf an individual is looking to print primarily documents, then I would suggest going for a monochrome printer as it will only do black ink and is much more cost effective than using a color printer,\u201d says Sean Otmishi, Founder and Senior Management Consultant at TAF Solutions. He recommends a color printer for anyone looking to print \u201crich media material.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p data-ga-track=\"\n\n<h3><strong>How Long Does A Printer Last?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Long Does A Printer Last?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cMost printers last three to five years, with lifespan depending on usage, print volume and manufacturer support,\u201d says Yensen.
