        Honestly, Dell laser printers are best I’ve ever used. Very good value, replacing toner couldn’t be easier, setting it up for network printing was way easier than Brother, they’re far more reliable than Samsung printers (constantly had paper jams) and I can print from my Android phone natively.

        Without going into something really high-end, like a Phaser, the Dell printers are very much worth a look.

      Sadly color laser printers with a good color reproduction and a full color wheel are still selling for 5 figures. And companies are starting to shut down home laser printer lines because shipping around containers full of microplasics is becoming a PR issue.

    Get a tank printer, you can’t DRM liquid (afaik). I have an hp one with tiny tanks, I refill once a year and the branded bottles aren’t too expensive, but you can use generic inks, though I’ve read about people with the same printer having problems with the viscosity of generic inks, so you still need quality ink.

    A downside is I have to print something every now and then to keep it from clogging (a month or two).

    I don’t necessarily recommend my specific model, but at least that type of printer, I’ve found it’s been great. Software is kinda shit like any printer but I have Linux on my desktop so it doesn’t really matter, shitty proprietary software is only needed for Windows (I have zero experience with Mac)
