Printers that offer single-pass duplex print, scan, and copy are the holy grail. Duplex printing, scanning, and copying: Two-sided (duplex) printing is a must-have, and if an AIO can print both sides in a single pass, all the better. Automatic document feeder: A great AIO should feature an automatic document feeder (ADF), because it can automate big scanning and copying jobs to save you time.Convenient, usable apps: The best printers offer full-featured apps that make it easy to print from and scan to just about any kind of device, including smartphones and tablets. Support for mobile print standards: Any printer being offered today should support smartphone and tablet printing protocols like Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria. And the same goes for scanners, where we consider both overall scan quality and how straight the ADFs manage to keep bulk scanning jobs. All else being equal, we’ll take the printer with the best print quality. Excellent print and scan quality: Although we think most modern printers produce good-quality results, some generate slightly sharper text, more accurate colors, or better-looking photos. If manufacturers offer a subscription ink plan, we take that into account as well.
It might as well be pleasant to view. Obviously, function matters way more than form for office machines, but unless you’re squirreling your printer away under your desk, you’re going to be looking at it every day for years to come. Good looks: This may sound silly on the surface, but we prefer nice-looking printers. That’s not to say that speed isn’t important—it’s just not as crucial as the stuff we’ve listed above.
