Video: How we test printers

Consumer Reports lab-tests all kinds of printers, including all-in-ones, with scanning, copying, and sometimes fax capability in addition to printing. We assess print quality and speed, and we also check how long ink cartridges last: Some printers use them up much faster than others.

Watch our video to see how our lab testers tackle printers. And for reviews and Ratings of all of our current tested printers, go to ConsumerReports.org.
