For all the lofty promises of a paperless future, the reality is that most of us need to print something—whether it’s a permission slip or a tax document—quite often. That’s why you need a great printer.

With so many models to choose from, finding the right printer isn’t easy. We’ve assembled a roundup of the best printers for many people’s needs. But before diving in, it makes sense to understand your choices and how to navigate them.

There are some inkjet printers that are supercheap, but they aren’t the bargain that they seem to be. Our research shows that the money you’re saving up front in purchase price can be spent several times over on ink costs in the first few years of ownership. That partly explains why many inkjet models earn low owner satisfaction ratings in Consumer Reports’ extensive surveys—and why we don’t recommend many of them. Inkjet tank printers, which replace the expensive ink cartridges with refillable ink reservoirs—address the ink cost issues but they still don’t receive high scores in our reliability and satisfaction surveys.

Laser printers, on the other hand, tend to be cheaper to run and more reliable, and they earn better owner satisfaction ratings. But they also have their limitations: They’re more expensive, especially if you want to print in color, and they don’t do a great job with graphics.

Here are more things to consider before you buy your next printer.

There are several important factors to consider when choosing the printer best suited for your labeling needs.

What you can expect to learn from this guide:

  • The difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing
  • Choosing between desktop and industrial printers
  • Budgeting for a printer
  • Integrating your LIMS
  • Selecting the right printer for your needs
