The Canon Pixma is simple, compact and affordable, making it the best printer for family use and the best all in one printer too. It will do everything your family needs it to, and comes at a reasonable price. You can even opt for extra-large ink cartridges for improved economic printing, so you spend much less money but can print even more. This home printer is incredible value for money and will provide high print-quality documents and photos.
These features mean that it costs 30% lower than average to print one page using this printer, so this is perfect for families looking for optimum printing ability at an affordable price.
The EPSON Ecotank is great for saving money (and the planet!) when it comes to ink cartridges, which is a definite necessity when buying a printer for the whole family. You can print up to 4500 colour pages (and even more black and white) before you need to refill and this printer uses the cheapest ink cartridges out of the other brands on the list.
This 3-in-1 print, scan and copy model means this can cater to every member of the family, no matter what you need to use it for. Your family can even print from their mobile phones, so this also caters well if you have older children or teens.
For 3-in-1 low-cost, compact, wireless, home printer on a budget, the Epson Expression is an excellent buy. With double-sided printing, individual inks and mobile phone printing from anywhere in the house, this is the perfect family-friendly model. The LCD display also means that you can print even without a computer and gives this a more professional look.
The Inkjet printer is a very reliable family printer and using it enables your household to print, scan and copy homework, school work, office necessities and even craft supplies. There is no end to what you can do. With the HP print scheme, you can also get a monthly subscription, so you will never be without ink and can always be prepared.
This is also a great printer for photo printing, with 25 different glossy paper sheets included in your purchase. It also comes with two months worth of ink for free, so if you are working on a budget, the HP Inkjet could be the one for you.
This Epson model brings the workforce home, as this produces high-quality, professional printing to your home office or workspace. It can even print up to A3 paper, which makes this a great buy for any at-home printing needs. The fast print speeds mean you can churn out many pages quickly and effortlessly, meaning that the Workforce can truly handle any printing needs. Whether you need to create posters, print off long documents or you just want to show the world your photographs, this is the model for you.
One thing to note is that the Workforce is quite a bulky model and will require a large space to fit in, so it may not be a great option for families who are limited on space.
This is the smallest laser printer on the market and is therefore perfect for families with limited space. This can squeeze in anywhere, and with very quick printing speeds, this will optimise printing for the whole family.
In connecting to the HP app, you can print from anywhere in the house, scan from your phone and order brand new ink cartridges very easily. It is also great for professional settings too, so if you have a home office, this is a great addition to the furniture.
This is another great compact printer for home use and is therefore also suited to those with limited space. It is convenient, compact and simple, but will still cater to any of your printing needs. The all in one design means you can print, scan and copy, and do so from any mobile device that is connected. There never has been an easier way to print, and even things stored on the cloud can make it into paper copy.
Not only that, but this printer has been reviewed as an extremely easy model to assemble and set up, so it really is fuss-free!
This is the best printer for photos, as you can print high print quality pictures straight from your social media, the cloud and your camera roll with just the touch of a button. Keep memories with you along the way using the HP Envy photo printer. It comes with a four month trial for HP ink monthly instalments, so you don't need to worry about ink to start printing. You simply need to invest in some high-quality photo printing paper and you are good to go.
An additional bonus to this model is that it can work in conjunction with an Amazon Alexa, so you can talk to it too!
