There are obvious things to consider when you’re working at home, like a great desk, a laptop or a pair of headphones. But there are a few things that you may not consider right away, like a printer. For many, a printer is still an important part of business — and as such, it’s worth considering which printer is best for your needs.
There are several things to consider when buying a printer. For example, you’ll want to think about whether or not you want a printer that can print double-sided pages or not, and you’ll want to think about whether you want your printer to scan as well, or not.
Of course, there are dozens of printer models out there, and they’re not all created equal. That, however, is why we’ve put together this guide. Here are all the best home office printers and why they’re such great options.
HP OfficeJet Pro 9015
Price: $179.89
Print Speed: 22 pages per minute
Customer Rating: 4.1 stars
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015 may be a little bigger than some of the others on this list, but it’s also able to print at an impressive 22 pages per minute, can automatically print two-sided pages, and has a 35-page automatic document feeder. The printer has a scanner built right into it, plus it works with HP’s Instant Ink service, allowing you to get ink sent straight to your door when you’re about to run out.
Canon Pixma TS9120
Price: $119.99
Print Speed: 11.2 pages per minute
Customer Rating: 3.6 stars
Canon has long built excellent printers for those who want to print photos, and this printer is no exception to that rule. The printer can easily print documents for work, but it can also print high-quality photos with a resolution of up to 4,800 x 1,200 dots per inch. The printer is fully capable of printing double-sided sheets and has an easy-to-use touch screen.
HP Envy 5055
Price: $69
Print Speed: 10 pages per minute
Customer Rating: 4.2 stars
If you want an excellent printer on a budget, then the HP Envy 5055 printer may well be the way to go. This printer still has a scanner built into it, making it even more versatile. The print speed is 10 pages per minute, which may not be as much as many of the other printers on this list, but for a printer in this price range, it’s still pretty good.
Brother HL-L2390DW
Price: $129.99
Print Speed: 32 pages per minute
Customer Rating: 4.4 stars
Perhaps you’re more in the market for a laser printer, which will get you faster printing speeds, plus you’ll avoid having to buy toner. The Brother HLL2390DW is a great way to get a laser printer on a budget, offering speeds of up to 32 pages per minute, plus it’s compatible with Amazon Dash Replenishment, giving you quick access to toner when you’re running out.
Epson Expression ET-2550 EcoTank
Price: $279.99
Print Speed: 9 pages per minute
Customer Rating: 3.7 stars
Last but not least is the Epson Expression ET-2550 EcoTank printer, which offers excellent print quality. Perhaps the best thing about the printer, however, is the fact that it uses Epson’s EcoTank cartridge-free ink system, which both cuts down on waste and ensures that you don’t have to replace the ink as regularly. The printer even comes with up to a hefty two years of ink, right out of the box.
