The Contenders: Top All-in-One Printers of 2025

1. Brother MFC-L3780CDW

Type: Laser (Color)
Functions: Print, scan, copy, fax
Best for: Fast-paced medical offices, entrepreneurs with high print volumes
Average Local Price: $499 (as of June 2025)

Neighborly Take:

If there’s one machine the Brunswick Hills town clerk and at least three of our local clinics can agree on, it’s this robust color laser. The Brother MFC-L3780CDW made headlines in the Medina Gazette’s spring tech roundup for its mix of speed and low operating cost. Our hands-on tests matched their results: the touchscreen is snappy, cloud printing is intuitive (even for technophobes!), and the paper tray fits a full ream.

Pros:

Super-fast (36 pages per minute in black & white, 33 in color)
Vivid colors—great for presentation handouts and brochures
Two-sided scanning and printing saves time and paper
Mobile printing from any device, Chromebook to iPhone

Cons:

Larger footprint—may crowd a home office desk
A bit louder than inkjets

Local Shout: Bethany S., who runs a speech therapy practice off Pearl Road, told us, “It takes heavy use and rarely complains. Service from Cleveland-area technicians was fast and friendly when we spilled coffee on the tray!”

2. HP OfficeJet Pro 9830e

Type: Inkjet
Functions: Print, scan, copy, fax
Best for: Home offices, remote workers, small medical clinics
Average Local Price: $349

Neighborly Take:

HP’s OfficeJet series has always done well with Medina County’s remote work crowd and was favorably covered by the Beacon Journal’s Home Office Guide. The 9830e carries on the tradition, offering crisp text and true-to-life color images. For clinics or businesses needing to scan IDs or multi-page forms, the auto-document feeder (ADF) is a time-saver.

Pros:

Affordable and compact
Great photo printing (better than some photo printers!)
HP+ subscription gives six months of free ink delivery—helpful for busy offices
Voice-activated and app-controlled operation

Cons:

Replacement ink is pricier after the initial subscription
Slightly slower than laser for multi-page jobs

Local Shout: James D. of Strongsville says, “It sits right next to my computer and doesn’t dominate the room. I love asking Alexa to print recipes or tax forms!”

3. Canon MAXIFY GX3020

Type: MegaTank (Refillable inkjet)
Functions: Print, scan, copy, fax
Best for: Physician practices, busy home-based businesses with high color imaging needs
Average Local Price: $439

Neighborly Take:

Ink woes, meet your match. The MAXIFY GX3020 is the darling of cost-conscious business owners. As Crain’s Cleveland Business reported this spring, “Inked-up offices mean more predictable budgets.” Canon’s MegaTank system offers literal bottles of ink, cutting refills from $70 per cartridge to about $15 per color.

Pros:

Ultra-low per-page ink costs
High-yield refills last up to 6,000 color pages
Sharp graphics for promo materials, charts, and presentations
Reliable Wi-Fi direct for quick mobile jobs

Cons:

Initial setup is a bit fiddly with the ink bottles
Smaller LCD screen than competitors

Local Shout: The staff at Main Street Pediatrics love it: “We print a ton of immunization forms. The Canon hasn’t jammed once! Budget-friendly, too.”

Features That Matter in 2025

Here are a few things our neighbors say are make-or-break this year:

Mobile Printing: Nearly every entrepreneur is using smartphones as much as PCs—easy app setup is non-negotiable.
Cloud Connectivity: HIPAA-compliant cloud connections for medical offices, plus Google Drive and Dropbox links for everyone else.
Reliable Scanning: Clinics need quick, double-sided scanning. Look for robust ADF (auto document feeder) features.
Environmental Impact: Many printers now use recycled plastics or offer cartridge recycling. Brother’s toner recycling station at Medina County Library is a plus.

Ink or Laser? The Ongoing Debate

Laser printers like the Brother are the gold standard for speed and reliability, but inkjets—especially high-yield models like the Canon MegaTank—offer unbeatable long-term savings for high color-volume tasks. Clinics, realtors, and legal offices with high black-and-white loads may favor laser; entrepreneurs printing colorful brochures might prefer inkjet.

Local Resources & Where to Buy

Harris Office Solutions in Medina offers on-site demos and expedited service contracts.
National chains like Best Buy in Strongsville and the OfficeMax in Brunswick also carry all these models.
For quick delivery, Amazon is still king—but supporting local vendors ensures hometown service and support.

Community Voices: Tips for Smooth Office Printing

We put out a call on the Brunswick Hills Community Facebook page and got some neighborly advice:

Keep a backup printer: “A little desktop inkjet can save the day when your main machine goes down,” says Karen P. from Medina.
Subscribe for ink or toner delivery: Both HP and Canon offer plans that can save you from last-minute supply runs.
Don’t forget security: With sensitive documents, always set up your printer’s password and enable encryption on Wi-Fi printing.

Looking Ahead: Printers in the Age of AI

The buzz for 2025 is all about AI features—auto-detecting document types, smart reminders to reorder ink, and improved voice controls. Manufacturers are also dialing up sustainability, with eco modes and reduced packaging. Watch for more truly “set it and forget it” options—something every busy professional or clinic can appreciate.

Final Word: Which Printer Is Right for Your Small Office?

For heavy-duty clinics and law offices, the Brother MFC-L3780CDW is our hardiest pick—built for speed and volume.

For home-based clinics, new entrepreneurs, and remote workers, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9830e balances cost, quality, and footprint.

And for anyone who prints a lot of color and wants to tame the cost of ink, the Canon MAXIFY GX3020 wins hands-down for value and staying power.
