Printers
Printers fall into three types: inkjet (high photo quality, low purchase price, expensive cartridges), laser (fast and cheap per page for text, no photo quality), and multifunction (printing, scanning, copying in one unit). For home use, inkjet or ink tank models are usually logical; for office and small businesses, laser printers dominate thanks to low cost per page.
The decisive factor is usually not the purchase price but the ink or toner costs. A cheap inkjet costs €60 but uses €200 of cartridges per year at average use. An Epson EcoTank or Canon MegaTank costs €280-450 but prints 5-10× as many pages per cost unit. Other considerations are print speed, double-sided printing, wireless (AirPrint, Mopria), and paper formats.
Productvraag compares printers and ink from HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, and Samsung at Dutch retailers. Especially the price of original cartridges varies sharply per shop, and multipack deals typically give 20-40% discount versus single cartridges.

Frequently asked questions about Printers
Inkjet or laser — what's better for home?
Print fewer than 500 pages per year, mostly colour and occasional photos: inkjet or ink tank. Print lots of black and white (>1,500 pages per year) and few photos: laser is cheaper per page and fast. Multifunction ink tanks (Epson EcoTank) are the best overall choice for most families.
How expensive are cartridges really over the lifespan?
With standard inkjet, cartridges cost 2-4× the printer's purchase price per year at average use. Ink tank models flip this completely — a bottle of ink for €15-25 prints hundreds of pages. Laser toner is expensive per cartridge but prints 1,500-3,000 pages per cartridge.
Which printer is good for occasional use?
For sporadic printers, an Epson EcoTank is the smartest choice — ink dries less quickly than with standard cartridges. Those who print less than 1 page per month are better off going to a copy shop than maintaining their own printer, because of dried-out cartridges and software frustration.
Which printer brands are reliable?
Brother and HP are at the top for business reliability. Canon and Epson dominate in photo and home use. Brother lasers typically last 10+ years. HP sometimes has cartridge-lock issues (HP-only cartridges) — look for models without that restriction if you want third-party ink.
What's a reasonable price for a good home printer?
Basic inkjet: €50-120 (don't forget €100-200 of cartridges per year). Ink tank multifunction (Epson EcoTank, Canon MegaTank): €280-500 (€20-40 of ink per year). Mono laser: €120-250. Colour laser multifunction: €350-700. Photo printer (A3+): €400-800.
