What’s the ideal home printer?

We have busy lives these days, and everyone is connected. Whereas in the past it was the mom or dad of the household who maybe had to print off a few reports for work, we’re now in a world where even schoolchildren need to hand in professional looking documents.

From my experience, I know only too well the pressure for my child to turn up at school with immaculately created homework!

It seems most homes now have a “home office” of some sort, even if it’s just a bundle of technology in the corner of the living room. And most homes have to deal with printing at some time or another, simply because of the amount of bills and other correspondence that comes in via email.

As much as we try, there’s no getting away from the fact that most of us like to keep hard copies of things.

So, with all that, what’s the best printer you can buy that will give long lasting results and won’t break the bank?

Laser printers — not just for the office!

There was a time when only businesses could afford laser printers, but now they won’t break the bank or stretch the home budget. This is good because lasers offer a level of versatility way beyond that of other technologies such as inkjet.

If you’re the type of family that needs to print out a lot of emails, bills and schoolwork then a Brother HL-1110 may be ideal for your needs. They offer an incredibly small footprint so they won’t take over the home, are robust and cheap to run.

The toner cartridges will last up to a thousand prints, which is many months of use in many households.

A fast, 20 page per minute print speed means you can also get your reports printed off quickly and without fuss.

Inkjet — ideal for photos

Of course, you might be the sort of family that wants to print photos and illustrations, let’s face it, it’s no good pictures being stuck on a camera, they need to be viewed!

This is where Brother’s inkjet range come into their own.

With vibrant colours and incredible resolution, they can provide just the answer to the family that likes to show off their photos or has a keen interest in crafts.

But why just print? Scanning and copying are also possible with the Brother MFC-J470DW. This multifunction inkjet is an ideal printer to have at hand for printing graphics, photos and colourful reports.

Want to photocopy in colour? No problem!
