The printer space is so baffling, mostly because printers only come to mind when they're needed and often are a one-time purchase, unlike a phone or a laptop that gets changed every few years. If you're looking to purchase a printer and found yourself in a slump–salespersons drowning you in unnecessary details of the products they have in stock—you're in the right place. Here are some of the best printers for your home.
