Having a printer can be extremely useful when studying from home, particularly if you like to highlight text and write notes on top of it.

In this post we will go through the best printers for home students. However, before going through the list, it is important to highlight few things to consider before buying a printer.

Those were used to put the list together:

Features: a printer for home studying doesn’t need all the extra features that professional printers offer (office/work environments). Unless you need it for more professional purposes, e.g. photography studies, large size planning papers etc; a basic printer will cover all your student needs.
Price: a printer for studying at home doesn’t need to be expensive, but neither too cheap for two reasons. Firstly, you don’t want to fall into the buy cheap buy twice category. Secondly, generally a cheap printer results in higher ink/cartridge costs and vice versa. Basically, a cheaper printer will most likely cost you more in the long run.
Multiuse: a basic student printer doesn’t mean it should only print. Having a dual printer and scanner can be very useful for scanning and sending official documents.
Ease of use: A basic printer for studying at home must be easy to set up and use. Even better if wireless so that you could link it to your devices and send everything you need to print easily.

Now that we are ready, let’s go through the best printers you can get to study at home in the UK. (p.n. all links to Amazon UK)
