Five Automatic Duplex Printers For Economical Home Printing
These printers can print on both sides of a sheet automatically.
That can make long documents use less paper.
Some models only print, while others can also scan and copy.
Ink-tank printers are designed for regular printing and generally have low running costs in the listed specifications.
The Brother DCP-L2520D is a laser printer that prints black-and-white pages the fastest.
The Canon GM2070 is mainly for people who need inexpensive black-and-white printing.
The Brother DCP-T535DW, Canon G3780 and Epson L4360 offer more all-in-one features.
The best choice depends on whether you need colour, speed, scanning, copying or wireless printing.
The Canon PIXMA MegaTank GM2070 is a single-function monochrome printer with automatic duplexing, Wi-Fi and USB connectivity.
The Brother DCP-T535DW combines automatic duplex printing with scanning, copying, wireless connectivity and high ink yields.
The Brother DCP-L2520D is a monochrome laser all-in-one offering the fastest listed speed at up to 30 pages per minute, but it lacks Wi-Fi.
The Canon PIXMA MegaTank G3780 is a colour all-in-one with duplex printing, Wi-Fi and yields of up to 6,000 black and 7,700 colour pages.
The Epson EcoTank L4360 provides duplex printing, wireless connectivity, scanning and copying, with listed costs of ₹0.09 per black page and ₹0.33 per colour page.
