Home and office printers

Getting the paperwork done hits different when your setup is actually sorted. Fast internet? Tick. A decent desk? Done. But miss the right printer, and you're firing PDFs to a mate to print off or hunting down a library machine. At home or in the office, a good printer is what pulls the whole setup together. The trick is knowing where to find one worth having.

Need ink cartridges, toner cartridges or copy and photo paper to go with it? JB and JB Marketplace have the full printing range covered too, so you can tick off everything your setup needs in one go.

A home printer handles lighter, less frequent jobs just fine. The upfront cost is lower, and print speed doesn't need to be fast when you're only pushing a few pages a week. Office printers are built for high-volume output and high-yield consumables. The upfront cost is higher, but the running cost per page drops once you're printing at real scale, making it a better choice for anyone hammering the machine daily.

Home office setups sit in their own zone. Working from home or running a small business usually means you need more grunt than a basic home printer can deliver, but you're not quite at full office machine territory either. Getting that balance right starts with knowing which type of printer suits your setup.

The best printer for your setup comes down to what you print, how much of it and whether colour matters. A household printing the occasional form needs a completely different machine from a small business cranking through documents all day. Both are a world apart from someone printing quality photos, wide-format docs or physical 3D objects.

Across the JB and JB Marketplace collection, here's what each printer type actually does:

• Inkjet printers – Need a printer for home use? Colour inkjet printers handle everything from school assignments, reports and forms to the occasional photo. A refillable ink tank printer keeps your cost per page low if you print regularly.
• Laserjet printers – Want speed and sharp output? Mono laser printers nail black-and-white printing fast, with clean monochrome results page after page. Step up to a colour laser printer for full colour printing with the same punch, a solid pick for a small office that needs both.
• Multifunction printers (MFP) – These all-in-one printers print, scan and copy without needing a separate scanner or copier cluttering up the desk. Most MFP models also handle duplex printing as standard, so double-sided output happens automatically.
• Label printers – The unsung hero of a tidy home office or small business. Print adhesive labels for cables, files, shelves and storage in seconds.
• Photo printers – Dedicated to photo printing and serious about it. From everyday snapshots to gallery-worthy prints, this type delivers quality photos with sharp detail and colour accuracy.
• Wide-format printers – For prints that go beyond standard paper sizes. Think posters, banners, architectural plans and large-scale creative work.
• 3D printers – Turn digital files into physical objects using plastic filament. Crafters, designers and small businesses use them to produce prototypes, custom parts and one-off builds without outsourcing the job.

Not all specs matter equally. For home and office printers, four things make the real difference: how it connects, how it handles paper, how good the output looks and how much desk space it eats up.

• Connectivity and compatibility – Does it connect to your laptop, phone or tablet? Wi-Fi, smart apps and Bluetooth handle wireless connectivity for most home setups. The Canon Pixma range, for example, connects straight out of the box. Running a shared office network? The HP OfficeJet Pro series has ethernet built in and keeps the connection rock solid all day.
• Paper handling and document feeding – A paper tray that runs out every 20 pages gets old fast. Check the capacity and what paper sizes it takes before you commit. Most multi-function printers include duplex printing as standard. Scanning or copying stacks of documents regularly? You want one with an automatic document feeder (ADF) like the Brother MFC range.
• Print quality – DPI is the number that tells you how sharp your output will actually look. For everyday documents, it barely matters. For colour-heavy work and quality photos? Pay attention to it. The Epson EcoTank delivers high-quality prints with consistent colour accuracy and at a low cost.

No more hunting across multiple sites or settling for whatever's on the shelf at the nearest supermarket. JB and JB Marketplace have the full range of home and office printers ready to go, whether you're after a compact inkjet for the home desk or a heavy-duty multifunction machine for the office.

Shop at JB, dig into the online-only range on JB Marketplace, or swing by one of 205+ JB stores across Australia to see the range in person. Got a JB eGift Card sitting in the drawer? Put it towards your next printer and tick it off the list. Too easy.
