Best Laser Printers for Your Home Office

While laser printers have a lot to offer, though, they’re not perfect. They tend to be bigger than inkjet models and often cost more up front. And they don’t perform as well when it comes to printing graphics and photos.

The models in the roundup below get high scores in Consumer Reports’ labs. Each works wirelessly, accepts a large supply of paper, and prints on both sides of a page to save paper. The all-in-one models are compatible with OCR (optical character recognition) software, useful for making scanned documents editable in a word processor. Most important, all of these laser printers churn out crisp, clean text with exceptional speed.
