Questionable brands

  1. DELL- Users should avoid Dell printers. Non-working and poor driver support for both Mac and Windows, non-user serviceable parts, and poor overall printer reliability have lead us to advise all users to steer clear of Dell branded printers.
  2. LEXMARK- Lexmark has been another brand that has produced products with driver and hardware reliability issues.  We recommend staying away from Lexmark branded printers for the time being.
  3. HP- HP used to be the standard by which all other printers were compared against. Unfortunately printers produced by HP in the late 2000s and early 2010s were manufactured with an excessive quantity of plastic parts that may have contributed to poorer overall hardware reliability. If you consider an HP, be sure you read the reviews carefully to confirm for yourself that the model you're purchasing is a departure from the recent trends of cheaper and less reliable products.
  4. Inkjet printers- We do not recommend the use of inkjet technology printers for the reason that print quality tends to be sub-standard, the ink cartridges are overly expensive, and the ink cartridges themselves go bad if the printer is not used for a while. Shelf life is typically better with laser printers.
