There are many printers in offer but the challenge is in scouting for the best ones and purchasing the perfect printer. One of the most important aspects while purchasing a printer is the price of the ink and also the cost of the paper. A recent report has come out with a complete guide for buying a printer and which are the best places to buy them.

According to this report, Best Buy has been given the top spot. CDW and Staples follow Best Buy, but only marginally. All these stores have a very good collection of printers and the staff is well informed. This report has come out after a comprehensive survey of the stores and even the salespeople were thoroughly interviewed to see how well equipped they were. The salespeople of these stores came across as highly professional people and displayed great knowledge about printers.

Amazon.com only managed average ratings in this report. This is mainly because Amazon aggregates a number of third party retailers. But it still has a very large selection of printers, much more than many retailers.

RadioShack and TigerDirects hold the dubious distinction of being ranked last in these rankings. RadioShack has very little inventory and several items mentioned in the website were not there in the stock. TigerDirect has a decent inventory as well as useful product data. But a messy interface costly shipping charges made it a bad choice. So, next time you go out hunting for printers, you know where to head to.
