Budget shopping tips: Printers

Shopping for a budget printer doesn't have to be an exercise in anger management and self-abasement. Contrary to the stigma, many printers can produce great-quality photos and documents without breaking the bank or eating up expensive consumables.

Samsung CLP-310

You don't get blazingly fast laser speeds with the CLP-310, but it does live up to the hype of offering affordable colour laser printing in a small form factor.

Reviews

  • Lexmark X4650

    Students on a budget should consider the X4650, but only against the vast raft of other MFDs on the market.

  • Brother MFC-7440N

    The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

  • Brother HL-2170W

    The Brother HL-2170W laser printer can be the perfect money saving sidekick to your existing inkjet, but don't expect it to handle even the most minor graphic jobs.

  • Brother DCP-135C

    The Brother DCP-135C is an all-in-one device that features a colour inkjet printer, flatbed digital copier and scanner, and a USB memory drive.

  • Samsung ML-1630

    If you want a monochrome laser that doesn't look like yet another grey box of doom, the ML-1630 could be your perfect match.

  • Canon Pixma iP3500

    The Canon Pixma iP3500 inkjet printer is a great choice for home users who have basic print needs but still want good-looking prints.

  • Samsung ML-2571N

    The Samsung ML-2571N mono laser printer has the right combination of price and features for a home office user with basic printing needs.

  • Brother HL-4040cn

    Despite its lagging black print speeds, the Brother HL-4040CN does a lot of things right and makes a compelling colour laser printer for small offices or workgroups.
