#BEST PHOTO PRINTER FOR MAC 2018 PORTABLE#
Two colleagues raved about their portable printers, an option I hadn’t previously considered but ostensibly makes sense for a tight office space, given that “portable” means small and light enough to pick up and move around. But amid the broken hearts, bruised egos, and bleeding ink, some contenders rose to the top. The only consensus, really, was that, “Printers suck,” as one filmmaker succinctly put it. In fact, several explicitly told me that they would not recommend their printer. Of the nine people I talked with who do own printers, most were pretty meh about them, and no two people owned the same model.
#BEST PHOTO PRINTER FOR MAC 2018 PC#
Even my most tech-savvy friend, who literally works for a hardware company and has built a PC out of gizmos he bought on the internet, told me, “I have never successfully set up a printer in my life.” Naturally, this made me feel terrible about my prospects. Of the 21 people I spoke with, over half had no printer at all. With that, I began my quest and started asking every freelancer and remote worker in my network about their at-home office setups. I would also like for this space-saving printer to be easy to setup, with Wi-Fi capabilities the fewer wires, the better. I don’t need to be able to print color, since I have no plans to print photos at home, and I’d prefer laserjet to ink, to minimize smudges or bleeding.
I would like this printer to be cheap, as in under $300, with ink cartridges that are also relatively cheap. It needed to be compact, because space in my Brooklyn apartment is limited. I wanted a printer that’s efficient in every sense of the word.
Going into this, my criteria were simple. I don’t print that often, but when I do, it’s usually at the most inconvenient, not-work hours, and waiting to get a hard copy of that transcript or tax form or shipping label until I’m at the office has become more of a hassle than it’s worth. I’ve been trying to avoid this purchase for as long as possible, because it’s mundane and boring and yet overwhelming, but it’s time for me to face reality: I need a home printer.
