Should you buy a new printer after Prime Day?
Amazon and other retailers are always keen to discount the big-name brands as part of the summer Prime Day printer deals, and 2021 proved to be no exception. We’ve already seen major printer brands like HP, Canon, Brother, Epson, and more on sale this week, with many bargains still up for grabs even though the official sale dates have passed.
Whether you’re looking for a budget-priced inkjet printer for your home office or need a faster and more reliable laser printer, there should be something on sale here for you. We’ve seen discounts on photo printers, too, along with all-in-one devices that combine scanning facilities alongside conventional printing. Some of these options used to seem a bit excessive for a home office, but now that more people are working from home more often, if not permanently, home printer needs have changed. You may have never considered purchasing a scanner before, but now one could make your work-from-home life much easier.
We’ve also seen deals on pretty much every printer brand possible. There were (and are still) worthy price cuts on all-in-one inkjet printers from Canon, along with wireless devices from the HP OfficeJet range. There are also some remaining Prime Day printer sales for laser printers from Epson, Xerox, Canon, and Brother. Simply put: It’s still a great time to upgrade your home office setup, and there’s no reason to wait until November for Black Friday to arrive.
How to choose a printer
As always, only buy a new printer if you genuinely need one. There’s simply no point in stockpiling printers, right? If your current printer is looking a little tired though, then the remaining Prime Day printer sales are an ideal time to upgrade.
As we suggest when shopping any major sales event, it’s a good idea to know what you want ahead of time. Having a list of wants, needs, desires, and deal-breakers before you start browsing can help you make an informed decision rather than an impulse buy. Deciding on features and accessories before you make a purchase is wise, and these decisions should be based on needs.
If you work from home and rely heavily on a fax machine, scanner, printer, copier, etc., when you’re in the office, having a device with these capabilities can provide a real boost in productivity. On the other hand, if most of your work is hands-on or digital, you may just need a basic printer for documents once in a while. If you’re putting out a large quantity of printed material, but it’s mostly black and white, you will do well with a different printer than someone who prints their own photos.
Consider your budget beforehand and stick to it so that you don’t get lured into overspending simply because there’s a sale on. A good way to prepare is to check out our best printers guide along with a look at the best inkjet printers, the best photo printers, and the best cheap printers so you know what to look for.
It’s worth keeping an eye on how substantial the discounts are as well. Some are incremental rather than one lump sum, so those might not necessarily be worth diving into. Also, if you do see a printer you want, don’t be afraid you’re going to buy too soon and miss out on a better deal later. You don’t want to risk an item selling out while you play the waiting game.
