If you're a small business owner, you may need to print receipts and order forms constantly, or you may be someone who only needs to print the occasional shipping label or document to sign. If you're working remotely, you may have a makeshift home office and need to fit your printer into a tighter space. If you print in large volumes or frequently, refillable ink printers might end up saving you money and giving you the color-rich finish you need.

No matter what your printing needs, these are the top printer choices for 2023 for photos and scanning, quick turnarounds, on-the-go printing, and more.

We start with the winning all-in-one printer that I call my favorite and bought it for our own family.
