While more and more things are done online through smartphone apps and other means, printing remains a reliable way of obtaining a physical copy of photos, documents, tickets, and other content. Inkjet printers are fast, they're relatively cheap, and they're ideal for ink-heavy prints. No matter your reason for going with an inkjet, we take a look at some of the best you can buy.

If we're making some suggestions
When you're buying a printer, it's best to keep in mind that there's no single option that fixes common issues that come with these devices. The best you can do is find a printer that fits your needs, gives minimal hassle during setup and management, and that doesn't cost too much to keep topped up with ink.
