While it isn’t one of the best all-in-one printers, it’s certainly one of the most affordable. There’s something to be said about a printer that can come in at such a low price yet still offer quality printing. This printer will work well in any home, apartment, or dorm room setting. It even goes beyond printing and is capable of making copies, scanning, and faxing. It connects easily to your devices with built-in wireless connectivity, and it can print at a rate of about nine pages per minute monochrome and four pages per minute color.

Canon PIXMA TS6420a — $60, was $130

Another great option from Canon is the PIXMA TS6420a, a budget-oriented printer that’s surprisingly fast and can do up to 13 monochrome images per minute. It’s also very small and easy to fit in smaller spaces and the fact that it’s lightweight means that it’s easy to move around. It’s easy to set up, and photo prints aren’t too bad, although the bigger issue is that the ink is quite expensive, so the upfront savings end up being paid down the line when you have to grab yourself some ink.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 2 — $89, was $100

An interesting and fun option for a printer is the Fujifilm Instax Mini Link 2, which is essentially a tiny little portable printer that creates photos similar to those that would come out of an instant camera. These 2 x 3-inch Polaroid-like prints print pretty quickly at around 12 seconds per image and will give you that same nostalgic development time experience where you wait to see what the photo looks like. While it doesn’t require any sort of ink cartridge, it does only work with Fujifilm’s Instax Mini instant film, so you are require to buy that only.

Connectivity is also good, and you have several options from Wi-Fi to ethernet.

Epson EcoTank ET-2850 — $220, was $350

Epson didn't reduce the EcoTank ET-2800's print quality despite the low price.

While old-school printers need a cartridge to function, there is a new type of printer that will free you from the usual issues of having to deal with cartridges. Reservoir or Tank printers like the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 have a reservoir of ink in various colors, which you can refill if and when you need to. This one, in particular, comes with four different colors of ink and can make some really high-quality photo prints with 1200 dpi resolution scans thrown in to boot.

HP Smart Tank 7301 — $290, was $420

Another solid option for a tank-based printer is this HP Smart Tank 7301, which has slightly faster print speeds than the Epson version, with up to 12ppm for black and white printing and up to 7ppm for colored print. It has a similar 1200 x 1200 scan resolution and a 600 DPI copy resolution, so it’s about standard for what you’d expect in this price range. Also, HP’s included inks should last you up to 8,000 colored pages and 6,000 black pages which is quite a lot considering most printing at home probably won’t reach that in a few years.

Canon MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021 — $450, was $700

If you like the idea of a tank-based printer but need high-volume printing, then you’ll be happy to know that those options exist, like this excellent Canon MAXIFY MegaTank GX6021.

Not only that, but the provided inks will last you up to 6,000 black pages and up to 14,000 color pages, which is substantial, plus it can hold up to 350 sheets of paper for continuous printing, which is a handy thing to have for high-volume printing.
