Hi Everyone,
We’ve had a brother laser printer and it has finally broken down. Lasted for like 7+ years. It only printed back and white.
Now looking for a new one and need some advice.
I work from home 2-3 days a week and do use the print to print documents for my appointments. These documents are not in colour. I won’t say I print a very high amount of pages but definitely more than a normal person would use the printer.
This time I am also looking for the printer to print in colour. It’ll be good for my 6 year old for school activities.
It’ll great if the printer has wifi printing capabilities. Would love to print straight from laptop, Mac or mobile devices. No connecting of cables and all. That would be good.
Double sided printing function would be great to have. Will save cost on the paper.
Last thing, cheap ink replacement is a must.
Do you think I can get one under $250?
Any recommendations form your experiences?
Thanks.
Do you need a scanner? Or ADF? (I actually use these features alot)
$250 is plenty of budget for an all-in-one unit and you'll get those features.
I personally use an old Epson Workforce WF-3530 but there are much newer versions of the same thing in the <$150 range. Prints fast enough, double sided, supports printing straight from phone/PCs without setup over wifi, plenty of cheap ink, etc…
Only downsides would be it's quite bulky given it's a home office printer (two paper trays, scanner, ADF) and it's also still an inkjet printer and not a laser printer.
