Best All-in-One Printers for Home and Small Offices (September 2023)

By Mithun Mohandas | Updated on 12-Apr-2023

You can call them Multi-function Printers (MFP), All-in-One printers, Multi-function Device (MFD) or printers that do a lot more than just print. We'll stick with All-in-One printers in this list for now. Basically, these are printers with scanners attached on top. So you can print, scan and copy, all at the touch of a single button. You can even think of these as printers with scanner and xerox functionality. The versatile nature of All-in-One printers stems from the fact that they're great at printing high-quality photos, reams of spreadsheets and even the odd email every now and then from among the thousands of different documents you have to work with. The following printers were chosen for their prowess at handling the typical print workloads that your home or small office might have. For larger volumes, you will have to scale up to a more robust model. Please note, these printers were selected on the basis of specifications and not necessarily tested. Although the prices of the products mentioned in the list given below have been updated as of 19th Jan 2022, the list itself may have changed since it was last published due to the launch of new products in the market since then. Here’s the list of the Best All-in-One printers for home and office use with their latest prices.

Best of Printers

Canon PIXMA E4570 All-in-One Printer

Canon PIXMA E4570 is an All-in-One Printer that includes a 20-sheet ADF (Auto Document Feeder) and is aimed at home and small office use. If you have a monthly print volume of up to 200 prints, then the Canon PIXMA E4570 is a pretty good printer to consider. Compatible ink cartridges for the Canon PIXMA E4570 includes the Canon PG-47, CL-57S or even the CL-57. The maximum printing resolution for the E4570 is 4800x1200 DPI. The paper tray can hold 100 plain A4-sized sheets of paper or 20 Canon photo paper sheets. The E4570 being an all-in-printer also comes with a scanner bed which sits on top of the unit. It has an optical resolution of 600 x 1200 DPI and it is a flatbed. Colour and greyscale scanning is supported with a bit depth of 16 bit on the input and 8 bit on the output. And the maximum size of the document which can be scanned is LTR (Letter).

HP DeskJet Plus Ink Advantage 6075 All-in-One

The HP DeskJet Plus 6075 is a premium home printer that’s geared towards meeting the printing needs of students and small offices. The DeskJet 6075 can output monochrome or colour prints at the rate of 10 and 7 prints per minute (ISO), respectively. And it has an input capacity of 100 sheets on the main tray. The output tray, on the other hand, can only handle 25 sheets. As for photo paper, the DeskJet 6075 can output 10 sheets and the main tray can hold 30 sheets at any given time. The unit is rated for between 100 to 400 prints per month. As for the scanner, it has a resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI and supports standard media sizes including A4 and Letter. It is compatible with the standard HP 682 Black and Tri-colour cartridges.

Epson EcoTank L3250 Wi-Fi All-in-One Printer

The Epson EcoTank L3250 is yet another ink tank printer from the brand that first introduced ink tank technology to the world. It can output 5 colour prints or 10 monochrome prints per minute (ISO) which puts it in the same league as most of the printers in this list. For photo prints, you can get a borderless print out in 90 seconds. The L3250 has Wi-Fi functionality in terms of connecting to your home or office network and even offering Wi-Fi direct. It's a multifunctional device so there’s scanning functionality with an optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 DPI. Since this is an ink tank printer, there’s no reason to worry about cartridge compatibility. Epson recommends that you use their 003 Series of ink bottles to refill the tanks on the EcoTank printers. You can expect to get about 7500 A4 pages (composite yield) when printing in colour and 4500 A4 pages when printing monochrome.

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 All-in-On

The HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 is a scaled down version of the Ink Advantage 6075. It doesn’t have Wi-Fi, has a slower processor and it supports fewer media sizes than the 6075. The input sheet can hold up to 60 sheets and the printer can output 8.5 monochrome pages per minute and 5.5 colour pages per minute. The scanners on both the printers are quite comparable. You will often find the two printers selling for the same price and the 6075 is a no brainer in such situations. However, if you can’t find the 6075 then the 4826 is a decent replacement. As for the supported cartridges, the 4826 uses HP 47 Black and Tri-Colour ink cartridges.

HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 4178 All-in-One Prin

If you want a multi-functional printer that comes with ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) feature without breaking the bank, then the HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 4178 is what you should be looking for. It is rated for a print volume of 100 to 300 pages per month and can output 8.5 black pages per minute or 5.5 colour pages per minute as per ISO standards. In every other aspect, the 4178 is very identical to the 4826 in terms of specifications. As for the ink cartridges, it is compatible with the HP 682 Black and Tri-Colour cartridges.

Canon E4270

The Canon E4270 is truly an All-in-One colour inkjet printer because it's got Wi-Fi, FAX, printing and scanning capabilities, all in a small form factor. Moreover, there's even a fully automatic duplex Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) at the top which can copy both sides of your documents without you having to manually feed pages one-by-one. The E4270 has a print resolution of 4800x1200 DPI and a maximum scan resolution of 600x1200 DPI. The E4270 uses the PG-47 (black) and CL-57 (colour) ink cartridges.

DeskJet Ink Advantage 5075

HP has the new Ink Advantage series of printers that are more economical with their ink consumption and the HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 5075 is one of the best printers from their lineup. Like other all-in-one printers, it too has print, scan and copy capabilities and they've even included Wi-Fi Direct to make wireless printing possible. This one does not include an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) so copying will be a manual process. The Ink Advantage 5075 has a print resolution of 4800x1200 DPI for colour and a maximum print resolution of 1200x1200 rendered DPI for black and white. The 5075 uses the HP 680 (black) and HP 680 (colour) ink cartridges.

EcoTank L3152

Ink Tank printers are way more economical given that they can outlast most of the competition. The Epson L3152 all-in-one Ink Tank printer rides high on the list of best printers for this very reason. It's part of the Epson EcoTank printer lineup which is all about print economy. It has print, scan and copy functionalities sans the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for the scanner. The L3152 uses the T003 Ink Bottles for Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow colours. And the maximum print resolution of the L3152 is 5760x1440.

EcoTank L3110

If the EcoTank L3152 was a little expensive for your usage then there's the Epson EcoTank L3110 for consideration as well. It's basically a scaled down version of the L3152 and it even has the print, scan and copy functionalities of the L3152. The difference between the two printers comes down to slightly lower optical scan resolution of 600x1200 for the L3110 and the fact that it does not have Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity. For nearly half the price, that's not a lot that you're missing out on. The L3110 uses the T003 Ink Bottles for Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow colours. And the maximum print resolution of the L3110 is 5760x1440.

DeskJet 3636

The HP DeskJet 3636 All-in-One Ink Advantage printer is the only one on this list with support for Voice Assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It's got Wi-Fi over the usual print, scan and copy capabilities. The only thing missing seems to be the Automatic Document Feeder. The Ink Advantage 3636 has a print resolution of 4800x1200 DPI for colour and a maximum print resolution of 1200x1200 rendered DPI for black and white. The 3636 uses the HP 680 (black) and HP 680 (colour) ink cartridges.
