Wireless Laser Printers: What to Look For

There are two key attributes to look for in a new wireless laser printer: efficiency and wireless receptivity. The worst problem to have with a new wireless printer is a bad wireless component. We've taken a look at all of the wireless laser printers on the market and picked out the top performers. Keep an eye on the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw, the Samsung CLX-4195FW and the Brother MFC8890DW: the top three best laser printers available today. We used the following criteria to evaluate each printer in our lineup:

Printer Efficiency
First and foremost, a good printer should print quickly and efficiently and should withstand a great deal of use. The best Wi-Fi printers we reviewed have high print speeds, a high monthly duty cycle and high maximum print DPI.

Wireless Features
Keep an eye out for a printer with high wireless signal sensitivity; in our reviews, we tested each device on how well it established and maintained a wireless signal. The 100-point wireless sensitivity scale on our matrix will tell you how well they performed on our tests. While none of them had perfect connections, all of them held a strong enough signal to print reliably in a home or office.

Additional Features
Extra features like a touchscreen, on-board memory, a mobile-specific printing app and USB print compatibility are all attractive but ultimately less important than the print efficiency and wireless sensitivity.

Warranty & Support
We looked for printers with a great warranty of at least one year in duration. Great customer support and a robust warranty are critical for wireless laser printers, as they’re going to be under a great deal of stress in your home office or business. We looked at each printer's support system, including contact via email and telephone, tutorials and FAQs, and a thorough user manual.

Summary
With a focus on printing efficiency and wireless sensitivity, take a look at our lineup of the top 10 wireless laser printers. Use our research to make the best decision for your own home office or business.
