I’m the Which? expert on printers: this is the printer and ink I’d buy (and the ones I won’t)

This article is exclusively for Which? members.
As the Which? dedicated expert on printers, I have the insider view of every printer that we lab test. This gives me unparalleled knowledge into exactly which printers and ink are the ones to buy – and which you definitely should not.
I tell you below exactly what printer is best for your uses. Plus how you can make the choice between original and cheaper third-party inks, which includes the results of our test that simulates a year's worth of sunlight.
