Looking for a printer. Whats your opinion? (lemmy.world)

Hey lemmy. I've been paying out of pocket to get stickers printed from online printing companies. But its getting expensive and I think I'd like to get a printer to do the job.

HOWEVER, I've been avoided getting a printer, because, well, the whole thing is just a shit show. Our household went through like a printer a year for almost four years. Between ink prices, and the printers just failing, we threw our hands up and said fuck it. Not playing this game, so we shifted to printing services or the local library.

So I'm looking for a very basic (I think?) printer. Honestly, a black only printer might even be fine. I've heard I think that maybe Canons or Brothers are the ones you want and HP's are to be avoided. The purpose of the printer will be to print stickers on sticker paper. What printer should I buy?

Echoing others, Brother laser printers. Cheap, reliable, and toner lasts forever. Initial one with purchase is like...40% of standard, and will still get you a few hundred pages. The regular ones are like 1200+, and the large ones are I think pushing 2k for like $70.

You can do stickers on sticker paper with lasers, but idk the quality. Is it like...address labels? If so, lasers are perfect tly fine for that. Fine details? Idk.
