A printer as a Christmas gift

The most beautiful holidays of the year are exceptional for their unique atmosphere, which is enhanced by the souvenirs with which you gift your loved ones. If you may be scratching your head over Christmas gifts right now, we can help you. You can delight your family and loved ones with a printer that won’t ruin your budget and, if chosen correctly, will be a great practical helper at home or in the office.

An inkjet or laser printer can be a practical gift for both men and women. You can also make your children very happy with a portable printer designed for printing photos. A printer can ultimately be the perfect shared gift. This is especially true if your home printer has for some time been sending out signals indicating that you need a new printer.

The only problem when choosing the ideal gift may be the wide range of printers. In the following lines, we will therefore present an overview of some printer models that attract attention with their quality and price.

1. Canon SELPHY CP1300

The stylish portable Canon SELPHY CP1300 printer using dye-sublimation printing technology will delight everyone, including children. The printer features a 300 x 300 DPI resolution, allowing you to print high-quality photographs. These can have maximum dimensions of 10 x 15 cm, and after submitting the print job, you can hold them in your hand in less than 1 minute.

This mini printer will not disappoint with its compatibility either. It features an input for a USB flash drive as well as a slot for SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards. However, of course, you can print not only from the mentioned flash drive or memory card. After connecting the printer via a USB cable or using Wi‑Fi, photos can also be printed from a computer. Thanks to wireless technology, you can also use the printer for direct printing from your phone or tablet.

2. Canon SELPHY CP910

A similar, but somewhat cheaper alternative to the compact portable printer is a model from the same manufacturer called SELPHY CP910. In this case as well, you can fully rely on the high-quality thermal sublimation printing technology, which of course you will be able to enjoy wherever you happen to be.

Support for wireless Wi-Fi technology allows you to print photos quickly and easily from compatible cameras and computers. Operating the printer is simplified by a 6.8 cm (2.7") LCD display with tilt adjustment for easier viewing and intuitive menus with on-screen instructions for easier navigation. Even users with less technical expertise will truly have no problem printing on this printer.

3. HP Officejet Pro 6230 E3E03A

Simple, practical, and elegant. This is one concise way to characterize the inkjet printer HP Officejet Pro 6230 E3E03A from the renowned manufacturer HP, without a doubt. The printer offers an attractive price, which certainly does not come at the expense of print quality. Quite the opposite. With the printer, you can enjoy the professional appearance of your printouts.

The advantage of the printer is its separate cartridges. Therefore, you do not need to replace the entire cartridges, only the color that has just run out.Built-in Wi-Fi module enables convenient connectivity and makes printing even more comfortable. The printing speed corresponds to the price of the device (18 pages per minute in black and white and 10 pages per minute in color), but we cannot overlook the automatic duplex printing, which saves office paper and ultimately your money. The printer resolution is 600 x 1,200 DPI.

4. HP LaserJet Pro M12w

We can stick with the HP brand even if you decide to gift your loved ones a laser printer. The HP LaserJet Pro M12w model surprises with its compact dimensions and 600 x 600 dpi resolution, which is ideal for high-quality printing of black-and-white documents.

The printer only offers manual duplex printing, but if you expect wireless sharing in the form of a Wi-Fi card from the device, you can be satisfied. Thanks to its wireless connection to your home network, the printer allows you to print from various devices and from anywhere in the house. The printer is suitable for households and small offices. The print speed is 18 pages per minute, while the printer will deliver the first document in as little as 10 seconds.
