Before we are heading toward the list of printers, I’ll give you some brief and important knowledge about it which will help you to select the best printer.
So don’t skip and read thoroughly before jumping to buy.

Most of us know about what is All in one Printers. But I’ll give a brief detail for those who have little or no idea what all in one printer are?
The machines which are capable of Copying, Scanning and Printing is called all in one printer. So due to their multifunctionality, these are also called multi-functioning printers.
Choosing the best all in one printer depends on where you want to use it, whether you buy it for home use or for office use. So look at the deciding point are as follows:-
The purpose of buying a printer? Whether you require it for personal/home use or you want it for office use. All other deciding factors depend on this factor because the home user requirement is different from the office users.
These are the most common type of printers available in the market.
The common type of difference between ink and Laser printer is that inkjet uses ink to print and it is suitable for low volume of printing, on the other hand, laserjet use toners and it is suitable for high volume printing.
Ink Jet Printers- Suitable for Home Use, Low volume Prints, Low Initial Cost, High Printing Cost.
Laser Printers- Suitable for Small to medium office, these are High Volume Prints, High Initial Cost, Low Printing Cost.
[content-egg module=Youtube]So I suggest you buy a budget laserjet printer for home/office use instead of inkjet, as its toners won’t dry up and have low printing cost.
But if you print often and in low volume then inkjet is the best bet for you. So keep this in mind while buying.
As I said earlier Low volume Print > Ink Jet Printer > Low Initial Cost > Good for home use.
High volumn Print > Laser Printer > High Intial Cost > Good for home/office use.
| Laserjet | Inkjet | |
| Approx. Monthly Print Volume | 800-3500 Pages | 200-500 Pages |
So Select your Printer based on your monthly Print Volume Requirement.
Speed of Printing pages Per Minute. This deciding factor is very important for office users, as high-speed printing is required in offices. But for home users, it doesn’t so important.
Laser Printers are generally faster than inkjets.
Inkjet Printer Speed- 10-16 Pages/ Min*.
Laser Printers Speed- 14 to 100 Pages/Min*.
*Depending on Model to Model
Choose Printer based on your requirement, If you want to print photos in colour then buy inkjet printer because their detailed photo quality is better then laserjet, else buy a laser printer for cheap black & white prints cost.
If you are home user then A4 Printer is good enough to buy, but for office use where A3 prints are also required then go with A4 & A3 tray printers.
Paper Tray capacity- this factor is not so important for home users, but it matters for office users. So buy a printer with paper input tray capacity according to your need. So you don’t need to refill the tray very often.
This is the most important deciding factor while choosing a printer. Like Inkjets initial cost is lower but high operational cost, same as laser printers has a high initial cost but lower operation cost.
Nowadays wireless printers are the best option to buy, but they will a bit costlier than non-wireless. Wireless printers are available in both inkjet and laserjets. With wireless, you can print directly from your mobile or laptop from anywhere within the wi-fi range.
For me, you should buy a wireless printer if you have wi-fi connectivity at your home/office.
The most important factor is the Price. The more amount you spend the more features you get. So if the price is not constrained to you buy Laser Printer for home/office use, else buy an inkjet printer for home use.
With the added feature the amount goes high, so choose the main specifications you want to get the best all in one printer for you.
Note- List down the feature which is primary for you like- Paper Size, Monthly Print Volume, Wireless, Per Page Print cost etc and then choose.
