Black Friday is the ultimate time to purchase electronics for both work and play and we’re seeing discounts on a wide array of devices, including laptops, desktops, TVs, printers, and more.
Yes, we live in a digital world, but there are still some times when you just need a hard copy of a document to sign, you want a pre-printed boarding pass before you head to the airport, or you just feel like getting those holiday cards done at home on your own. If you relate to any of those situations and want to be ready when they pop up, a new home printer is in your near future. Good news: Printers are a lot smarter, quicker, and more efficient than they used to be, not to mention more user friendly. And we’ve found some that are already on sale! Here are the Inkjet and laser printers we’re seeing discounts on right now:
Don’t let the Canon Pixma TR150’s size fool you into thinking it won't meet your printing needs. Measuring only 2.6” by 12.7” by 7.3” (HWD), this small, but mighty mobile color printer can fit easily into any space and even has a battery option if there’s no outlet available. This device really simplifies the printing process, holding up to 50 sheets of paper in its rear paper tray and enabling you to print directly from your mobile device.

This Epson Expression XP-7100 prints, scans, and copies wirelessly in both monochrome and color. With an 11 ppm print speed for color and 15.8 ppm print speed for black and white, this printer should easily handle household print jobs like school reports, boarding passes, and the like. It also supports mobile device printing so you don’t have to log into your desktop or fish out your laptop every time you need to print.
You probably won’t need something as heavy duty as the Brother HL-L8360CDW unless your day-to-day business needs include printing large amounts of documents. If you are printing a lot, this all-in-one laser printer prints at speeds of 33 ppm and the laser printing technology makes the most of your ink supply. Plus, with a super high-yield toner option, you can further maximize your output between refills.
Don’t print much? The $40 price tag on this HP DeskJet printer will be very tempting. Easy to set up and use, the HP+ app can help you with any troubleshooting and initiating printing as well as setting up regular ink delivery. Just bear in mind that HP printers are notorious for only working with HP brand ink cartridges.
