What’s a great choice for a home office printer? An All in one printer is a great choice for numerous reasons. This multifunctional printer may have different components all on one machine. These components consist of printer, scanner, copier, and/or fax machine. These printers are reasonably priced and take up very little space on your desk.
There are always things that can be done to enhance your all in one experience. Negatives I’ve foreseen with using this type of printer consist of: connect ability, setup, duplex printing, ink use, picture quality, and paper capacity. An all in one printer may also take up a bit of space on your desktop. The best way to avoid these issues are to research your printer to make sure it falls within the category for which it is needed.
An all in one printer would be a great addition to my home office. I would need a printer that can scan receipts, copy forms, and fax letters to clients. It will need to be durable and easy to use. It will also need to have a great picture quality and features such as built in media card reader and LCD screen. If it has wireless capabilities it would allow my family to use it from different computers within the household. Having an all in one printer would help me transition from office to personal responsibilities. The all in one printers various colors and shapes will address my business style. Scanning documents will increase my organizational skills so that I can eliminate paper clutter. These things are beneficial to my office duties so I am prepared for the unexpected.

I also have an All-In-One printer and I use it constantly, until it runs out of ink, then I head to the nearest library or Kinko’s. The versatility of the product makes it very efficient while working on presentations for work or school. My fiancée is able to scan pictures and then send them on an online producer, keeping her from having to stand in line at the store, waiting for hours to scan her pictures and print them, behind some sweet old lady who was born in 1923 and doesn’t know how to work the machine. We actually have two printers, but she always sends her pictures to one of the major companies because the picture quality is not up to par for her scrapbooking/picture fetish. We have it set up in the spare bedroom and we both have laptops, so when we need to print, we just take it in there and print off what is necessary. I would run it on our wireless network, with all of our other electronics, but I haven’t had the time or the patience to buy the adapter and set the printer up.

An all in one printer is indeed great to have, provided you don’t need to do A LOT of printing. It gets old pretty quick when you have to purchase ink cartridges all the time! I’m sure there are varying degrees of print quality capability on the market, but from what I understand, the best quality printing can only be done on a dedicated machine. (Inkjet vs. Laser? Not sure which is better..)
Also, as far as the wireless capabilities you mentioned above, for about $99 you can pick up a wireless router at Best Buy for your all-in-one printer. It works wonderfully! My wife and I use one at home, and I installed it and connected both of our laptops (there is driver software that comes with it) in about half an hour!
