Printers

Contents

  • Overview
  • Brands
  • Other considerations

Printers are annoying and expensive. I have a broken laser printer and a half-broken ink printer. I'm thinking about buying a thermal printer.

Before I buy something new, I typically do an extensive research as I hate buying the wrong thing.

  • I'm interested in the cost over 10 years.
  • I'm only interested in WLAN printers.
  • I guess I print about 7 pages in a week, makes 365 pages in a year. A total of 3650 pages.
  • The paper should have 80g/m², A4 format (standard paper)

Here are the results:

Other considerations

  • Printer dimensions: Laser printers are very bulky. You need space. There are a few super slim thermal printers.
  • Durability / Maintenance: I had often issues with ink printers that they needed to be cleaned after they were not used for a while. My laser printer never had such issues.
