Best Early Amazon Prime Day Printer Deals: Save Now on Brother, Canon, Epson

Prime Day is fast approaching, but Amazon Prime members can already cash in on a range of deals spanning all product categories, including printers. While many of us have embraced a paperless existence, the printer industry is still alive and kicking, making devices with better quality, smaller footprints, and less annoying ink cartridges.

Whether you want to output PDFs or fine art, look for a printer that supports XL or XXL cartridges, which will help lower your cost per page. If you mostly work with documents, consider options that are smaller, faster, and support dual-sided printing to conserve paper. Amazon’s Prime Day offerings hit a wide variety of sweet spots, from lightweight low-use models to beefier multifunction machines that also scan and fax. Here are four of our picks for the best early Amazon Prime Day printer deals.

Brother MFC-J5855DW Wireless AIO Inkjet Duplex

We gave this well-balanced multifunction printer high marks in our review for its fast print speed and solid output quality, as well as the ability to print images as large as tabloid size. Scanning and faxing capabilities are also solid, with the ability to fax, scan, and print from the Brother mobile app on your phone. Ink costs are also very reasonable—our tests worked it out to about a penny a page for black-and-white output and a nickel a page for color. It’s a solid, compact printer that’s already a bargain, so the extra Prime price drop is really worth it.

Epson EcoTank ET-2800 Wireless AIO Color Printer

A home printer needs to be affordable and versatile, and Epson’s ET-2800 does a fine job at folding in all of the features you need for occasional use into a tidy little package. Ten pages a minute is a decent pace for a home printer of this size, and ink refills last a long time, making it a solid pick for large volumes of black-and-white documents especially. Epson’s EcoTank line is notorious for low operating costs, and this one is no exception. If you’ve been burned by high refill prices from other printers, the ET-2800 lacks that sticker shock.

Epson Workforce Pro WF-3823 Wireless AIO Printer

This is the same printer as the WF-3820, which we reviewed positively, saying it “prints well and fast for its entry-level purchase price.” That purchase price is even lower for Amazon Prime Day, so strike while the iron is hot. The WF-3823 features Epson’s PrecisionCore technology for improved image quality without sacrificing print speed, and interfaces with mobile devices for convenient wireless printing. If you have low-volume needs, this is going to be the pick of the litter, especially at this discount.

Canon Pixma TS3520 AIO Printer

We gave an “Excellent” rating to this pint-size powerhouse in our review, stating that it’s an affordable choice for most households looking for quality color and black-and-white prints at low volume. This is already a budget model, so shaving money off the sticker price just makes it more attractive. It’s not the pick for people who need to put out a lot of paper on a regular basis, but it does a lot of things right—borderless image output up to letter size, auto-duplexing, and integration with mobile devices and smart home devices for voice-activated printing.
