What is the best printer for at-home projects?

submitted by Zapped from self.AskSaidIt

I am looking to replace an older inkjet printer at my house. I can only clean the heads so much and it still has fading on certain colors. Is a color laser printer worth the initial cost for basic in-home printing?

They are all garbage now, unless you use them at least twice a week. They've made printers such a rip-off money-pit, that it isn't worth having one. You are better off finding a place that you can pay to print documents for you.

Greedy printer companies cause more e-pollution and economic damage, than most things that we impoverish whole generations over, through poorly thought out and forced green initiative legislation.

Something's clearly wrong when even 3D printers are more reliable than 2D inkjets.

In fact, the 'best printer for at-home projects' is probably a 3D printer...

Maybe if you run a business or have unusually high printing needs. I print stuff probably less than 10 times per year, so wouldn't make sense for me. You may be different
