Of all of the printers in this guide, the Officejet Pro 8035 printed the best color photos on glossy photo paper, making it just as useful as a photo printer as it is for business or school. The photos it printed were clear, had excellent color fidelity and were neither too light nor too dark.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The Envy 6055 is a color inkjet printer that prints documents at a rate of 10 ppm monochrome and 7 ppm color. HP recommends using function ga4_link135() window.dataLayer.push(JSON.parse('"event":"default_event","link_location":"product_widget"')) 20-pound paper for this machine. With just two ink cartridges, it was exceptionally easy to set up. To ensure that your printed content always looks its best, the Envy 6055 offers the ability to check printer alignment with the scanner, in much the same way that the Officejet Pro 8035 does.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you've already decided to get an inkjet printer, but you have a hard time choosing a model, it's understandable. There's a wide range of inkjet printers, from expensive, full-featured models to simple budget options. There are many things to consider when shopping for the best printer for your needs, like how much you print, your budget, and whether you need other features, like a scanner or support for USB thumb drives.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We've tested over 130 printers, and below are our recommendations for the best inkjet printers you can buy. You can also check our picks for the best photo printers, the best all-in-one printers, and the best home printers.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The best inkjet printer we've tested is the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850, an all-in-one designed for small or home offices. This supertank model produces amazingly sharp documents, prints quickly at up to 25 pages per minute, and yields thousands of prints from a full ink tank. Replacement ink is cheap, so you don't have to worry about high ownership costs, even if you print a lot. Its wide connectivity options make it easily accessible, and its ADF-equipped scanner lets you process multi-page and double-sided documents quickly. As this is a general-purpose printer, it isn't as well suited for photo printing. Printed pictures look detailed and colorful but grainy.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Our best mid-range inkjet pick is the Brother MFC-J4335DW, a simple all-in-one model designed for home use and one of the best all-in-one inkjet printers we've tested. It's very cheap to maintain as its ink cartridges last a long time and are relatively inexpensive. It produces high-quality documents, and while it doesn't have the best color range and accuracy, it still produces very detailed photos that are good enough to hang at home.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The best budget inkjet printer we've tested is the Brother MFC-J1205W, also known as the Brother MFC-J1215W if you're shopping at Walmart. It's an inkjet model designed for people who print slightly more than the occasional once-in-a-blue-moon project. It has a sturdy build and a decent number of connectivity options, and it prints high-quality documents and decent-looking photos. Its ink cartridges last a long time and are relatively cheap, so the cost-per-print is exceptionally low. There are a few compromises for its budget-friendly price, like its slow printing speed and the lack of an automatic document feeder. It's compatible with Brother's mobile app, which you can use to print, scan, copy, perform maintenance tasks, and order supplies.</div><div></div><div></div><div>While the other picks in this article are all great printers, they're mainly designed for general purposes like everyday printing and scanning. If you're looking specifically to print photos and want the best print quality, the Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-300 is your best bet. It produces incredibly detailed, vibrant, and colorful photos with no banding or other artifacts, and it can print on wide format paper sizes up to 13" x 19". Of course, there are some downsides to specialized printers like this one. The first has to do with maintenance cost, as there are nine ink cartridges to replace, and they're expensive, so it can add up quickly if you print a lot. Second, it's a print-only model, meaning you'll need a separate scanner to scan anything. Last, it prints very slowly, taking over two minutes to produce a 4" x 6" photo.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you print a lot and worry about high maintenance costs, get the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550, one of the best all-in-one inkjet printers we've tested. Its refillable ink tank yields significantly more prints than the Canon, and its replacement ink is much cheaper. It also has a flatbed scanner and can print directly off an SD card. The print quality is outstanding but is less color-accurate than the Canon because it tends to oversaturate the colors to make them more vibrant and punchy. If cost is a concern, there's a cheaper variant, the Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8500. It gives you the same print quality but only supports paper sizes up to 8.5" x 11" and has a smaller 8.5" x 11.7" flatbed scanner.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Laster printers, on the other hand, are typically very expensive to buy - and are often aimed at professionals and business. However, they have excellent printing speeds and toners are cheaper to buy in the long run.</div><div></div><div></div><div>While these devices tend to be more affordable than the best laser printers, it's essential to factor in the recurring costs of ink cartridges. Over time, these expenses can accumulate, making the choice of an economical inkjet printer paramount to long-term savings.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We've rigorously tested a variety of models, assessing print quality, speed, and additional features such as ADF, scanning, and wireless printing, and we're here to help you make sense of your choices. Whether you're outfitting a home office or seeking the most efficient option for a small business, our guide dives deep into the world of inkjet printers to find the best printer for your needs and budget.</div><div></div><div></div><div>What it does have is the ability to accommodate unusually large inkjet cartridges, which is why the bodywork bulges on the right-hand side. Brother calls this an INKvestment Tank printer, which is its answer to rival supertank printers. These high-capacity carts have higher yields, making them more economical to run than most cartridge-based inkjets. It also prints to a consistently high standard on both plain and photo paper.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e remains one of the easiest printers to set up. It quickly prints crisp text documents and glossy photos at an affordable cost of 2.4 per page in black or 8.8 per page in color with its high-yield cartridges.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Upgrade to a business-oriented color laser AIO like the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw if your work finds you printing and scanning all day, every day. It prints and scans faster, sharper, and more reliably than inkjet alternatives.</div><div></div><div></div><div>All-in-one (AIO) inkjet printers are a one-stop shop for home document-production needs. But they may not be right for everyone. Inkjets have been known to dry out and clog if they sit idle for too long between uses, and to get them going again you need to run cleaning cycles that waste ink and drive up your operating costs.</div><div></div><div></div><div>All-in-one laser printers can sit unused for weeks or even months on end with no printing downside. But they can cost twice as much as inkjets, and they take up more desk space because of their large toner cartridges.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Our criteria have remained largely unchanged since we first began reviewing AIOs in 2012. We consider both inkjet and laser all-in-one printers, including monochrome and color models. We favor models with reportedly excellent print and scan quality, automatic document feeders (ADF), fast operating speeds, low operating and printing costs, and duplex printing, scanning, and copying capabilities. We also look for strong third-party reviews.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Scanning was similarly brisk in our tests, averaging 3 to 5 seconds on the automatic document feeder. AIOs like the Brother MFC-J4335DW (our budget pick), the HP Envy Inspire 7955e, and the Brother MFC-L2750DW (a monochrome pick in our laser printers guide) took about 7 seconds to scan.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Images popped, but less so than with our top pick from HP. Still, the MFC-J4335DW printed glossy photos with a sharpness and a realistic saturation and contrast level that rivaled results from printers twice the price. But it fell flat at producing seamless image prints on copy paper, and it often created banding, or horizontal lines across the page, which is a common defect among inkjet printers.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Ink-tank printers usually come with bottles that you must inject into reservoirs inside of the machine. These printers tend to cost $50 to $100 more than non-ink-tank models, and they also provide fewer features.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Ben Keough is the supervising editor for Wirecutter's working from home, powering, cameras, and hobbies and games coverage. He previously spent more than a decade writing about cameras, printers, and other office equipment for Wirecutter, Reviewed, USA Today, and Digital Camera HQ. After four years testing printers, he definitively confirmed that they all suck, but some suck less than others.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Speaking of displays, the 9015e has a much smaller one than those on the previous generation of HP printers. It still works fine, but the reduced real estate does make it harder to hit the smallest on-screen buttons, such as the gear icon that takes you to the settings menu. Be prepared for a few frustrating mis-taps.</div><div></div><div> dd2b598166</div>
