Printer Recommendations

IT Services recommends these printers based on several guiding principles including total cost of ownership, compatibility, supportability, print speed, and Energy Star standards. Full printer specifications can be downloaded from manufacturer's site; prices may vary depending on the options. While this site is updated on a regular basis, prices and options on SmartMart may change without notice. All prices are approximate and include tax and free ground shipping.

See the Printer recommendation guiding principles before you choose, and discuss with your local IT support to help select an appropriate printer for your group.
