description: If you’re after a decent home printer but you don’t have too much cash to spend, here are the best affordable printers available to buy in 2025.
encoded: Buying an affordable printer it can be confusing, so we've put together this round-up of the best budget printers and some tips on how to find an affordable printer which matches your needs. To start, it's helpful to determine what you consider to be affordable. This will depend on personal budget but it's also worth thinking about whether the printer you want to buy is cost-effective to run. Ink and toner cartridges are where printer companies make a large chunk of money, so consider how often you’ll hit that ‘Print’ button before opening your wallet. If you only print documents once every month or so, then picking up something with a low initial cost might be better, even if it’s not the most economical option out there – we're thinking about cost-per-page here. On the flip side, if you’re printing documents frequently, you’ll want a printer with the lowest possible cost-per-page that your budget can accommodate. Depending on your needs, you might also want to consider a laser printer instead of an inkjet. In our round-up below, we've picked printers which are around the £100 price mark. Some are cheaper and some are slightly more expensive, but the more expensive printers are cost-effective in the long run.

encoded: The Oppo Find X3 Pro is the flagship device from the Oppo Find X3 series, offering buyers after a premium Android smartphone experience plenty to brag about. Boasting a detailed, colour-rich AMOLED display with an eyebrow-raising refresh rate, a huge battery, support for wireless charging and super-fast wired charging, 256GB of internal storage, 12GB of RAM, and an eight-core processor, the Oppo Find X3 Pro’s spec sheet reads more like that of a laptop than a smartphone. However, the real icing on the cake comes in the form of ‘Colourful Future’, an exclusive ringtone written by legendary film score composer Hans Zimmer. How many phones can boast that? It’s not just about the glitz and glamour though, like the entry-level Oppo Find X3 Lite 5G, the Oppo Find X3 Pro comes with a camera with four lenses, fast charging, and, naturally, 5G support. Make no mistake; the Oppo Find X3 Pro is a seriously good phone. But is it £1,099 good? Jump to: Oppo Find X3 Pro review: summary What is the Oppo Find X3 Pro? How much is the Oppo Find X3 Pro? Oppo Find X3 Pro features Oppo Find X3 Pro battery Oppo Find X3 Pro camera Oppo Find X3 Pro design and set-up Our verdict Where to buy Oppo Find X3 Pro review: summary The Oppo Find X3 Pro is a powerful, polished smartphone for buyers with cash to burn but want to turn some heads. If you want to stand out from the pack and not just pick up the latest iPhone, or Samsung, the Oppo Find X3 Pro is what you should be looking for. The standout feature here is the display. Mobile phone displays have been excellent for years, with even the cheapest phones coming with Full HD resolution screens these days, so it takes something truly special to stand out from the pack, and the Oppo Find X3 Pro does that, with style. After watching a few shows on Netflix and iPlayer on the Find X3 Pro, you probably won’t want to stream content on anything else. The cameras are also excellent, and the battery is heroically good, especially when you consider the ca…

description: Looking for a compact and budget-friendly printer for your home? The HP Envy Pro 6420 might be for you.
encoded: HP has been making printers and scanners for years, but a lot has changed since the days of the boxy office printers of the ‘80s – now, we get lightweight and minimalist-looking wonders like the HP Envy Pro 6420. Instead of your typical grey cuboid, the HP Envy Pro 6420’s dimensions have been pared down so that each of its key functions – printer, scanner, and copier – are housed in their own discrete and easily recognisable sections. Looks aside, the HP Envy Pro 6420 is a wireless all-in-one colour printer aimed at families and home office workers. Like the HP DeskJet Plus 4120, it’s a cartridge-based inkjet printer running on just two cartridges. The HP Envy Pro 6420 is also covered by HP’s Instant Ink automatic cartridge replacement subscription service. This means ink-hungry households and busy home workers should be able to find a price plan that’ll let them run the HP Envy Pro 6420 much more economically than just buying cartridges outright – although less demanding users might find it cheaper to buy cartridges on an as-and-when basis. Our review of the HP Envy Pro 6420 below covers everything you need to know, from ease of use to print quality and running costs – also, don’t forget to read our best printers round-up feature to see how this compares.

description: Looking for an economic printer for your home? The HP DeskJet Plus 4120 might be for you.
encoded: HP has been in the printer business for decades, and for many buyers, the brand is synonymous with desktop and office printers and copiers. The HP DeskJet Plus 4120 is one of the cheapest home printers HP has released to date. It combines the functions of a typical inkjet colour printer with a flatbed scanner and photocopier with an automatic document feeder (ADF). Like most modern home office printers, the HP DeskJet Plus 4120 is wireless, meaning print jobs can be queued over Wi-Fi from your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, as well as the more traditional USB. Running on two cartridges for black and colour ink, the HP DeskJet Plus 4120 is relatively inexpensive to run, but, as it’s covered by HP’s rolling Instant Ink automatic cartridge replacement service, it could be just the thing for busy homes printing hundreds of pages every month. Read our in-depth review of the HP DeskJet Plus 4120 below, as well as our out best printers round-up and comparison feature to see how the HP DeskJet Plus 4120 compares.

The HP DeskJet Plus 4120 is a cheap entry-level all-in-one priced at around £60. Aimed at buyers on a budget, the HP DeskJet Plus 4120 is cheap to buy and, when paired with an HP Instant Ink subscription, can be cheap to run as well if you’re going to be printing lots of reports, essays, or contracts every month.

description: After a cost-friendly and easy-to-use printer? The Canon Pixma TS205 might be the best fit for your everyday use.
encoded: Canon has been in the printer business for decades, making high-quality printers and copiers for the office and home, alongside its range of digital cameras and camcorders. The Canon Pixma TS205 is one of the cheapest home printers Canon’s produced and has been going strong since 2018. Very much a budget device designed for buyers who only want the bare necessities, the TS205 is still on sale now. Unlike a lot of entry-level home printers, which feature built-in scanner beds and photocopiers, the Pixma TS205 is a straightforward colour inkjet printer, which connects to desktop and laptop computers via a USB cable. A simple plug-and-play printer, no Wi-Fi passwords or network configuration is required here. Using just two cartridges, the Canon Pixma TS205 is as easy to refill as it is to use and is capable of printing on high-quality glossy photo paper as well as plain old A4. In our full review, we look beyond the RRP and running costs to see if there’s more to the Canon Pixma TS205 than an attractive price and if it remains a bargain three years down the line.

The Canon Pixma TS205 is a USB colour inkjet printed priced at the extremely affordable £35 mark.

description: Looking for an office-style printer and scanner for your home? The Brother MFC-L3710CW might be for you.
encoded: Brother has been in the home and office printing business for decades. Like fellow Japanese consumer electronics institutions Canon and Epson, it's perhaps best known as a maker of printers. The MFC-L3710CW first launched back in 2019 but is still going strong and has seen its RRP take a welcome tumble since then. Part of the ‘MFC’ range, the MFC-L3710CW is, as its designation suggests, a multi-function printer, combining the features of a colour laser printer, scanner, and photocopier. Larger and heavier than most consumer all-in-one printers and more business-like in terms of design, it’s perhaps best thought of as an ‘office printer for the home’, rather than a home office printer. For home users who need something that can print quickly and in high volumes without having to keep changing ink cartridges all the time, the Brother MFC-L3710CW may well be better suited than smaller all-in-one inkjets.

The Brother MFC-L3710CW is an all-in-one colour laserjet printer that’s priced at £280. Aimed at home office users, the Brother MFC-L3710CW uses toner instead of ink cartridges. As such, the Brother MFC-L3710CW has a number of advantages over typical inkjet prints – pages are dry as soon as they come off the press, and toner cartridges also promise a much higher yield. The cartridges used by the MFC-L3710CW promise up to a tho…

description: We put the pricey Epson EcoTank ET-2750 through its paces. Find out if it's worth the cost.
encoded: Epson is one of the world’s oldest manufacturers of printing equipment, and like Canon, it is a Japanese company that’s perhaps best known for producing home and office printers and scanners. The Epson EcoTank ET-2750 is one of the latest EcoTank colour printers from Epson, which, unlike most home printers that use cartridges, uses ink drawn from bottled refills. The main attraction to this from a customer’s perspective is that compared with cartridges, bottled ink goes a lot further, while a typical cartridge will offer you hundreds of pages’ worth of ink, a set of EcoTank bottles will give you enough ink for thousands of pages. For buyers in busy homes or home office workers who will be running off hundreds of copies of documents, presentations, and copies of photos for portfolios every month, the economics of an EcoTank-based printer are hard to argue with. Cheap running costs aside, what else does the Epson EcoTank ET-2750 have to offer? It’s a colour printer that’s also capable of scanning documents. There’s no automatic document feeder (ADF), so you can’t use it as a photocopier. You can connect the Epson EcoTank ET-2750 to your home Wi-Fi network for wireless printing via your desktop devices or your phones, through the Epson iPrint app, or if you prefer a wired connection, there’s a USB port as well. In our full review of the Epson EcoTank ET-2750, we go to town on all of its key features and weigh those up with the buying price and that low, low running cost before delivering our final verdict.

encoded: Epson has been making printers for the office and home for decades, and the XP-7100 is the latest in a long line of compact, ‘does-everything’ all-in-ones. Part of Japanese powerhouse Seiko Epson Corporation’s ‘Expression Premium’ range, the XP-7100 multi-function printer promises to be as capable functioning as a home office hero – it can scan, copy, and automatically turn a piece of paper over to print on the other side – as it can an artistic hub. The Epson XP-7100 is capable of printing on glossy photo paper and printing on plain office sheets. It can also turn its hand to printing greeting cards, CD covers, colouring books, photo collages, and other fun, creative things. To suit its multi-purpose nature, Epson has built the XP-7100 with a multi-ink cartridge system which features two discrete black ink cartridges for printing photos and text, respectively. As well as meaning you shouldn’t have to change cartridges quite as often as you would with all the blank ink coming from one source, photos promise to benefit from richer contrast, while ink used for text has been designed to be more resistant to highlighters.

encoded: Canon may be better known for its award-winning compact and digital SLR cameras, but it’s also a well-established manufacturer of printers for the office and the home. Canon is one of the main home printer brands, and the Pixma TS7450 is an excellent value proposition for home workers and families. Despite being very much an entry-level device, it’s versatile, combining the functions of an office scanner and copier as well as a standard colour printer. First released in October 2020, the Canon Pixma TS7450 remains a solid value option. Running off of two cartridges – black and tri-colour, i.e. cyan, magenta, and yellow – means that it’s easy to keep the Canon Pixma TS7450 topped up.
