Best Wireless Printers in the UK

The Brother MFC-J5330DW is a solid multifunctional device for small to medium businesses. With its huge 250-page capacity paper tray, rather fast printing/scanning speed, and the inclusion of the Automatic Document Feeder and fax facility, this all-in-one device is a strong performer on the market.

Despite being quite multitasking, the printer does its main job flawlessly. It boasts fairly high print resolution and quick printing speed. That is to say, the resolution makes 4,800 x 1,200 dpi, allowing for printing quite good images on photo paper. The scan resolution is a little lower at 2,400 x 1,200 dpi.

As for the printing speed, it equals 22 ppm in monochrome and 20 ppm in colour. The print quality is good overall. You'll find plain text documents sharp with smooth characters and free from smearing or running. The colourful prints also get fine with no smudging.

At first glance, the Brother MFC-J5330DW looks like typical MFP devices yet it has an ace up its sleeve. Surprisingly for its size, it houses great functionality and can handle even A3 paper sheets, though for printing only.

While the paper tray accommodates A4 sheets in a portrait orientation, it can be easily extended and filled with A3 paper sheets. The ability to load A3 sheets is a huge advantage for those individuals who need to print either full-colour A3 posters or A4 booklets.

However, the tradeoff for that is a bit bulky design. Measuring 12 x 20.9 x 15.7 inches, the printer takes quite a lot of desk space.

If you're looking for a quick, heavy-duty model for printing large batches of paperwork on a daily basis, you should seriously consider the Samsung Xpress M2026W laser printer.

The folks behind Samsung clearly understand that the better the performance of an office printer, the faster the workflow. With that in mind, they have created the Xpress M2026W that even exceeds the basic demands for a printer to be.

To begin with, it's rather compact yet high-speed printer. Thanks to the One Touch Screen Print function and Ready Mode, it significantly reduces waiting time and makes your work more productive.

Being fitted with a 400 MHz processor and 64 MB memory, it's able to print up to 20 mono pages per minute. And despite this quick printing speed, all the printed images and texts get very detailed and sharp.

Moving on, we would like to point out that this model requires low operation cost and sparing consumption of materials. The SL-M2026W laser printer offers a much higher cartridge yield compared to average wireless inkjet printers. With the amount of toner enough for printing around 1,000 pages, the device makes it possible for you to perform cartridge refill and replacement much less frequently.

Meet one of the latest printers in the Canon’s lineup - the PIXMA TS5050. It's a smart-looking, slim MFP that has quite a lot to bring to the table. It's a fantastic offering inside and out.

Although the PIXMA TS5050 boasts all-round performance, it's perfectly proportioned. The printer is now 40% smaller and much slimmer than previous models. Clean lines, curved edges, and tapering contours make it appear even smaller and look more sophisticated. And behind that attractive appearance, the printer houses big functionality.

The PIXMA TS5050 is a Wi-Fi compatible device that can print, scan and copy. It's fitted with a standard 100-sheet paper feed at the rear and an output tray at the front. However, take note that the device doesn't support automatic duplex printing. That's the cost for its ultra-slim design.

On the upside, the Canon uses the proprietary five-ink system with both a pigment-based black for bold text and a dye black for contrast in photos.

Being an inkjet model, the printer requires you to buy costly cartridge refills for the rest of its life. But the price for consumables is surely no worse than that of its rivals. Moreover, the five-ink system means that you can replace only a specific colour that has run out. A quite economical solution.

The Epson Expression XP-352 is a budget-friendly smart inkjet MFP that is absolutely fantastic for its costs. Actually, it offers a bit more than its retail price.

For starters, we would like to emphasise that this printer can be connected to your PC using a cable or cordlessly utilising Wi-Fi technology, albeit it's an entry-level MFP.

You have an option to download the proprietary Epson Email Print app for free and send files directly to your printer. Furthermore, if you install the Creative Print app on your smartphone, you'll get an opportunity to print photos directly from your Facebook account or other social media websites, create customised greeting cards, stationery, and so on and so forth.

Alternatively, you can insert an SD memory card into the special slot and print, copy, or scan even without using any additional gadgets. The 3.7-cm LCD screen with large control buttons will give you easy access to the printer’s primary functions, be it printing, copying or scanning.

The simple operation isn't the only strong selling point of this device. It outputs very crisp images and detailed documents, though the max printing speed reaches 8 ppm in monochrome and only 4 in colour. Probably, it won't stun you with the operating speed, but the quality of prints will.

HP printers are widely known for their exceptional printing quality of photos, and this one is no exception. The HP Envy 5010 really excels at its ability to deliver crisp, clear texts and glossy, high-quality images. So, if you're a photo lover or simply a person who would like to save your precious memories on photo paper, the Epson Expression Photo XP-8500 is here for you.

The HP Envy 5010 really delivers photos that can make people around become envious. And the quality is superb either on plain sheets or photo paper. Even tiny details will be extremely sharp and colourful. As a result, you'll get crisp, true-to-colour photos, which are perfect for everyday photo albums.

Positively, the HP multicolour cartridge is already included with the purchase. Also, you get 2 months of Instant Ink Trial included. Although the original HP 304 ink cartridges are a bit too pricey, you can minimise the costs by 70% if you subscribe to one of HP's plans (three levels). Both cartridge and delivery costs will be already included in your monthly payment.
