- DELL- Based on our past experience, we recommend users avoid Dell printers. Non-working and poor driver support for both Mac and Windows, non-user serviceable parts, and under-performing overall printer reliability have lead us to advise all users to steer clear of Dell branded printers.
- 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.
- 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 a new post 2014 HP product, be sure you read the reviews carefully to confirm for yourself that the model you're purchasing is a departure from the recent trends trend of cheaper and less reliable products. Recently post 2014 HP products have shown indications of HP's return to the market.
- Inkjet printers- We do not recommend the use of inkjet technology printers for the reason that the ink cartridges are overly expensive and the ink cartridges themselves dry up if the printer is not used for a while.
