The best art printers: From premium to portable

The best art printers have been developed specifically for art prints and large projects. So although that makes them more expensive than the best home printers for general consumers, it also makes them the perfect choice for artists and designers.

When testing the best printers for artists, we’re looking for devices capable of strong colour reproduction and clarity, using the best inks for art printing (generally, these will be pigment-based inks). Ideally, we also want to see the option to print in larger formats and on heavy fine art media. We’ve also considered the usual factors we test for, like budget, design, and overall performance.
