As much as our lives are immersed in digital documentation, there are still times when we need to print something, whether it's a document, an application, or a photo. Especially in busy office spaces, a quality printer is a must. When you need to revert to paper documentation, these are the all-around best Mac printers.
No ink cartridges
This printer comes with some impressive features, including a color display, wired and wireless networking, and voice-activated printing for Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. Epson handles ink differently, as it does away with ink cartridges and uses low-cost replacement ink bottles. Right now, this is our favorite printer for Mac, including the all-new Mac Studio.
Small but mighty
If you want to print many pages fast but don't have the desk landscape for a large printer, Brother's DCPL2520DW is the model for you. It prints 36 pages per minute in black-and-white and has a 2.7-inch color touchscreen menu panel, but the base only takes up about as much space as a pad of legal paper.
Multi-user equipped
If you've got a lot of people in your household (or office) that need to print a lot, Maxify will ease your paper-replacing burden with a two-tray setup. You can fit up to 500 sheets at once, so you don't have to refill as often.
Office workhorse
For actual office productivity, you'll want to go pro with something that can print multiple sizes of paper directly from the glass screen, as well as from mobile devices. The Business Smart Pro also supports faxing for you old-timers.
6-color printer
For full-color printing, Canon's TS8320 is what you want. It's got a six-color individual ink system for the best quality full-color printing you can get for your home. It also supports wireless printing, photo printing, and external SD Card storage support.
Budget option
HP's OfficeJet is the perfect low-maintenance, low-cost option if you need a basic printer in your home for those rare occasions when you'd like to print out an application or a coupon for pizza. You can print in a variety of sizes (including envelopes) and in color or black-and-white.

Instead, they use low-cost replacement bottles that are easily refillable – this is a huge convenience.
If you don't have the coin to shell out for our top choice, then the budget-friendly HP DeskJet 2732 is for you. It's good enough at handling day-to-day printing, scanning, and copying. Plus, it can also print from your iPhone without issue, thanks to AirPrint support. We can't forget to mention HP's Instant Ink program which saves you a ton of money when replacing your cartridges.
