What is the best home office printer for people who hate ink cartridges?

If you hate traditional, expensive ink cartridges, you have two excellent paths to choose from depending on your printing habits:

1. Ink Tank Printers (Best for frequent/color printing): Instead of tiny cartridges, these use large built-in reservoirs that you fill with inexpensive liquid ink bottles. A single bottle set can last for thousands of pages, bringing your cost-per-page down to fractions of a cent.

2. Laser Printers (Best for occasional/text-heavy printing): Laser printers use dry powder called toner instead of liquid ink. Because it is dry, toner never clogs or dries out, even if the printer sits unused for months. This makes laser printers the ultimate low-maintenance option for home offices.

Which should you choose?

• Go with an Ink Tank if you print frequently, need color, print photos, or want the lowest possible ongoing running costs.
• Go with a Laser Printer if you print sporadically (e.g., once every few weeks), mostly print text documents, and want a machine that "just works" every time you turn it on.
