Printer buying guide 2026 — inkjet, laser and MFP
By The workshop team at Datorhjälp Lerum, computer technicians & it specialists · Updated
The right printer depends on volume, colour needs and whether you want WiFi, scanning and duplex. This 2026 guide covers home, home office and small business — and when to book setup with us.
Inkjet vs laser
Inkjet: good colour and photos, low purchase price, higher cost per page at volume.
Laser: fast black text, lower cost per page at volume, higher machine price.
Rule of thumb: under ~200 pages/month — inkjet. Heavy text office — laser.
