Printers stores
Stores whose offers changed most recently.
The cheapest printer to buy is often the most expensive to own. Many inkjet printers are sold at low prices because makers earn their money on ink, so the cost per page, not the printer's price, decides how much you really spend over a few years.
This category covers home and office printers, label printers and 3D printers, from Brother for inkjet and laser printers and label makers, to Phomemo's thermal label and portable printers, 3D printers from Elegoo and BIQU, and UV printing from eufyMake.
Keyboards, monitors and office gear are in Peripherals, and craft supplies in Arts & Crafts.

Inkjet or laser?
Laser printers are fast, cheap per page for text and their toner does not dry out, which suits offices and people who print documents often. Inkjets print better photos, but ink can dry out if the printer sits unused.
Ink tank printers, refilled from bottles, cost more upfront but far less per page than cartridge inkjets.
Calculate the cost per page
Divide the price of a cartridge or toner by its page yield, published by the maker. Compare this across printers alongside how many pages you print a month.
Third party ink and firmware
Some printer makers use firmware updates that block or warn against third party cartridges. Check a printer's policy before relying on cheaper compatible ink.
Ink subscriptions
Ink subscription services send cartridges automatically based on pages printed. They can save money for regular printing, but check page limits and what happens if you cancel.
Label printers
Thermal label printers such as Phomemo's use heat sensitive paper, so they need no ink at all. They suit shipping labels, organizing and small businesses printing product labels.
Check which label sizes and apps are supported, since some printers only work with their own labels.
3D printing: FDM or resin?
FDM printers melt plastic filament layer by layer, suiting functional parts, prototypes and larger objects. Resin printers cure liquid resin with light, giving very fine detail for miniatures and jewelry models.
PLA filament is the easiest to print and a good start. Newer FDM printers with automatic bed leveling are much simpler for beginners than older models.
Resin safety
Uncured resin can irritate skin and gives off fumes. Wear nitrile gloves and eye protection, print in a ventilated space, and cure and wash parts properly before handling.
Build volume
Build volume limits the size of objects you can print in one piece. Larger printers take more space and longer to heat up, so choose based on what you plan to make.
UV printers
UV printers print colored images directly onto materials such as wood, leather, acrylic and phone cases. They suit small businesses making personalized products, with ink as the main running cost.
Wireless printing and apps
Most printers now print from phones over WiFi, using AirPlay on Apple devices and Mopria or maker apps on Android. Check whether scanning and cloud features need an account.
Duplex and paper handling
Automatic double sided printing saves paper. A large paper tray and automatic document feeder save time for offices that copy and scan a lot.
Photo printers
Photo inkjets with extra color inks print smoother gradients and skin tones than standard models. Use the paper maker's recommended settings, since paper type affects color as much as the printer.
Small portable photo printers print from phones on sticky backed or instant paper, which suits scrapbooks and parties.
Printers for small businesses
Businesses printing invoices, labels and packing slips often combine a laser printer for documents with a thermal printer for shipping labels. Thermal label printers integrate with most ecommerce and shipping platforms.
3D printing materials
Beyond PLA, PETG is tougher and more heat resistant, TPU is flexible, and ABS needs an enclosure and ventilation. Store filament dry in sealed bags, since moisture causes weak, stringy prints.
Slicer software
3D printers need slicer software to turn a 3D model into printer instructions. Most brands supply their own slicer or profiles for popular free slicers, and ready tuned profiles save a lot of trial and error.
Keeping a printer working
Inkjets that sit unused can clog, so print a page every week or two. Keep printers dust free and use the maintenance cycles the maker recommends.
Printer security
Networked printers can be a security weak spot. Update firmware and change default admin passwords.
When printers go on sale
Printers are discounted during back to school season, Black Friday and year end sales. 3D printer brands run big promotions around new model launches.
Making a printer coupon go further
Bundles with extra ink, toner or filament often save more than the discount on the printer itself. Check that a coupon covers consumables if you print a lot.
