Ink tank, laser or cartridge? We compared eight home printers from HP, Epson, Canon and Brother on price, page yield, two-sided printing and the year-end promotions each brand is running, all read from the brands' own stores and promo terms on 10 November 2026.
A home printer is cheap to buy and expensive to feed, so the ink matters more than the sticker.
