10 Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Printer Deals (October 2026 Sale)

If you print anything at all, the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 is the machine worth watching during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale this October: its refillable ink bottles hold roughly two years of supply in the box, so the running cost stays low long after the sticker price stops mattering. Two other picks cover different needs. The Canon PIXMA TR8620a is the one to look at if your desk needs a scanner, a fax and automatic two-sided printing, and the Canon MegaTank G3270 earns its place for square and borderless photos without cartridge refills.

The event runs October 6-7, 2026, and most offers need a Prime membership, with a free trial counting if you have never had one. Everything below covers home and small-office printers. No 3D printers and no enterprise A3 machines, which is where most of the noise on this search sits.

Our Top 3 Picks for Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Printer Deals in 2026

Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Printer Deals Compared

Every row below lists the same four things: what the printer is for, what kind of engine it uses, how fast it runs and whether it turns the paper for you. The print speeds are manufacturer figures, black first.

Two things the table cannot show: the ink-tank models refill from bottles and the rest use cartridges, and three of these printers come with a manufacturer subscription trial attached that you have to cancel deliberately.

How We Chose

We compared the specs that decide whether a printer suits a home desk, the owner reviews and star ratings listed for each model, and the running cost implied by cartridge yield or ink-tank page counts. The data was checked in October 2026, and we weight running cost and duplex support over discount size.

1. Epson EcoTank ET-2800: Best Overall

The safest buy on this list for anyone who prints more than a page a week. Each set of refillable ink bottles is rated at up to 4,500 black pages and 7,500 color pages, which is roughly what 90 small cartridges would deliver, and Epson ships up to two years of supply in the box.

Output is good rather than exceptional. Color runs to 5760 x 1440 dpi, which handles photos and school projects without looking soft, and the LCD plus flatbed scanner cover copying and the occasional form.

What you give up is speed and paper handling. It prints 10 pages per minute in black and 5 in color, it prints on one side only, and the tray holds 100 sheets, so a long report means topping up mid-job.

Owners report the usual cost of that tradeoff: the machine is fine for a couple of pages daily and tedious for a hundred-page manuscript. If duplex matters more than ink price, look at the Canon PIXMA TR8620a instead. And if colour printing is the reason you are shopping, the Canon MegaTank G3270 does photos in a format this one cannot.

Epson asks for its own ink bottles for warranty coverage, and third-party refills are the most common complaint in reviews. Budget for bottles rather than cartridges from the start.

2. Canon PIXMA TR8620a: Best for a Home Office

Four functions, two paper trays and a 1,000-page monthly duty cycle. That combination is what separates a home office machine from a home printer, and the TR8620a is the only one here that also sends and receives a fax.

It runs 15 pages per minute in black and 10 in color with automatic duplex, and 200 sheets of total capacity between the 100-sheet cassette and the 100-sheet rear feed. Paper up to 8.5 x 14 inch goes through, which matters if you print legal-size paperwork.

The recurring gripes in owner reviews are software and paper handling rather than print quality. People report the Canon PRINT app dropping connection on a weak signal, the 20-sheet feeder being single-sided, and the tray rejecting neatly aligned sheets more often than it should.

Compared with the Epson EcoTank ET-2800, the running cost here is cartridge-based and higher over a year, but you get duplex and a feeder in exchange. Compared with the Brother DCP-L2640DW, you get colour and fax but lose 21 pages per minute of black output and drop to cartridge ink.

Five individual ink tanks mean only the colour that ran out needs replacing, which matters when one project uses a lot of magenta and the others are untouched. Alexa ink monitoring with smart reorders is built in if you already use it.

3. Canon MegaTank G3270: Best for Photo Printing

The photo pick, and the reason is a format rather than a speed. Square and borderless printing is supported up to 8.5 x 14 inches, so phone-shot squares and borderless enlargements come out of one machine without cropping software.

Running cost stays low through the same refillable system as the Epson. A full ink set covers up to 6,000 black pages and 7,700 color pages, with up to two years of ink in the box, and Canon’s own claim puts the saving against cartridge printing in the region of a thousand dollars over the life of the printer.

Owners like the ink economics and point to the same two gaps as the Epson: single-sided printing with no duplex, and a 1.35 inch square LCD that is small for changing settings. There is also no document feeder, so multi-page scanning means lifting the flatbed each time.

Where it beats the Epson EcoTank ET-2800 is paper handling for pictures, not speed: this one handles borderless and square output on larger sheets. Where it loses is scan-and-copy convenience, and the Canon PIXMA TR8620a has both a feeder and duplex if those matter more.

Canon lists spare part availability for five years on this model, which matters more than usual for a tank printer you refill rather than replace. Keep the bottles sealed until you need them, since the tanks are the one part of a high-volume printer that ages whether you print or not.

4. Brother DCP-L2640DW: Best Value

Scan, copy and print in a 25-pound mono laser unit built for shared desks. For a home office or a two-person team that prints forms, invoices and shipping labels all week, the economics are hard to argue with: toner runs a long way cheaper per page than colour ink cartridges.

It hits 36 pages per minute, prints a first page in 8.5 seconds, and the 50-page automatic document feeder means a stack of signed forms gets scanned in one go. Output is 1200 x 1200 dpi, sharp enough for anything on paper.

The setup is where owners report friction. Several reviews describe repeated attempts at the wireless connection, difficulty finding the setup password printed on the back label, and a scanner workflow on the device itself that is clumsier than the Brother Mobile Connect app.

Compared with the Brother HL-L2460DW further down, this machine costs more but includes the scanner and copier. Compared with the HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw, it prints four pages per minute slower but carries more owner feedback behind it.

Because it prints duplex, a 250-sheet tray and a feeder in one body, the machine works out at 16.1 inch across and 12.5 inch tall before the paper goes in. Set it on a desk with clearance underneath, not on a shelf in a cupboard. It uses TN830 and TN830XL toner.

5. Brother HL-L2460DW: Best for Documents

If you print and never scan, this is the leaner choice. At 15.6 pounds it is compact enough for a home desk, and owners report that automatic duplex handled a 500-page booklet job without trouble.

Same 36 pages per minute engine as the Brother DCP-L2640DW, with the same 250-sheet tray, duplex printing, dual-band wireless, Ethernet and USB. Prints reliably on both Windows and Linux, which matters more than it sounds if you keep one older machine around.

There is no scanner and no copier, and the interface is buttons and an LCD rather than a touchscreen. Wi-Fi setup through the on-printer buttons is the part owners call tedious.

Worth knowing: this listing includes a Refresh subscription trial, and reviews mention owners being caught by unexpected charges after it. Set a reminder if the printer works fine with standard toner. If you need to scan at all, step up to the DCP-L2640DW rather than adding a separate scanner later.

A manual feed slot takes envelopes and thicker stock without pulling down the main tray, which is the feature most home offices end up using weekly for window envelopes.

6. HP LaserJet M209dw: Best for Two-Sided Printing

Two-sided printing is the whole pitch. Where most mono lasers drop to roughly half speed on duplex, this one holds up to 19 images per minute on both sides, which is the fastest automatic two-sided figure in this group.

It prints 30 pages per minute single-sided, has a 150-sheet tray, and at 11.2 pounds fits on a corner of a desk. The OLED display is small and the paper range runs from 4 x 6 inch up to 8.5 x 14 inch.

Owners point to the dual-band Wi-Fi with self-reset, which finds a connection and recovers on its own after a router restart. That is a genuine advantage over the Brother units here, where several reviews describe connection setup taking repeated attempts.

Against it: some buyers report the printer dropping into error states that need a restart, and vellum and similar thin stock can jam through the manual feed. It is print-only, so no scanning. The Brother HL-L2460DW is the alternative if you want a larger 250-sheet tray instead of duplex speed.

Resolution is 600 x 600 dpi, normal for a work laser that never sees a photograph, and the built-in security features block network attacks on a machine that sits on a shared office connection.

7. HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw: Best for Small Teams

The highest-rated printer in this set and the fastest, at 40 pages per minute with a first page out in 7 seconds. Copy speed is 35 ppm, the tray holds 250 sheets and the feeder takes 50, so it can keep a small team moving without anyone watching the paper level.

It prints and copies up to 999 copies in a run, scans to email from the flatbed or feeder, and connects over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB with AirPrint and Mopria support. Resolution goes up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

The significant catch is cartridge lock-in. This printer works only with toner containing HP chips or circuitry, which removes the cheap aftermarket route and keeps per-page cost tied to genuine HP cartridges. Reviews also mention paper tray flex and feed error messages.

It is heavier at 23.1 pounds, so plan the spot before buying. Against the Brother DCP-L2640DW you trade Brother’s cheaper third-party toner world for four more pages per minute; against the HP LaserJet M209dw you get scanning and copying in the box.

It is also Instant Ink eligible, so decline the plan at setup if you have no intention of using it. Place it on a surface that can take 23.1 pounds rather than a light shelf, and expect a longer warm-up from cold than the speed figures suggest.

8. Canon PIXMA TS3720: Budget Pick

The cheapest way into printing at all, and it still does print, copy and scan. At 8.7 pounds it is the smallest machine here, which matters in a flat or a dorm room where a 25-pound laser is not happening.

Wireless setup works without a computer through the 1.5 inch segment LCD and dual-band Wi-Fi, and it handles envelopes, photo paper and borderless prints up to 5 x 7 inch. Canon PRINT, AirPrint, Mopria and Chromebook support cover the usual app and phone printing.

Be realistic about what you get. Printing is single-sided at 7.7 pages per minute black and 4 color, the tray holds 60 sheets, and it uses PG-275 and CL-276 cartridges, which is where the running cost catches up with you.

If you print a dozen pages a week this is fine. If you print a lot, move up to the Epson EcoTank ET-2800, where the ink bottle maths changes completely. Skip it rather than buy it if duplex matters even occasionally, because there is none.

Colour output runs to 4800 x 1200 dpi, sharp for photos and school projects at this size. The 17.2 inch depth is deeper than the footprint suggests, so leave room behind it for the rear paper feed.

9. Brother Work Smart 1410: Best for Cloud Printing

The most capable small office all-in-one here by feature count: print, copy, scan and fax, automatic duplex, a 20-sheet feeder, a 150-sheet tray and a 2.7 inch color touchscreen that handles cloud services directly. Google Drive, Dropbox, Box and OneDrive all print from the panel without opening a laptop.

Output is up to 1200 x 6000 dpi on Windows, 16 ppm black and 9 ppm color, with a first black page in about 6.2 seconds. Brother Mobile Connect covers remote printing, copying, scanning and ink monitoring.

The trade-off is the ink. Individual LC501 cartridges add up over time, and this is a cartridge machine, not a tank printer, so the low sticker figure flatters the running cost.

Compared with the Canon PIXMA TR8620a it offers a touchscreen and cloud printing but a smaller 20-sheet feeder against the Canon’s 20 sheets plus a much larger 200-sheet paper capacity. Against the Brother DCP-L2640DW you gain colour and fax and lose the low toner cost per page.

This listing includes a Refresh subscription trial as well. Reviewers report needing to cancel it to avoid later charges, and the machine runs fine on standard Brother ink. The touchscreen also makes it the easiest of the Brother models to drive without an app.

10. HP Envy 6155: Best for Easy Setup

A home all-in-one that gets out of the way. The 2.4 inch touchscreen handles settings without an app, and HP’s AI formatting cleans up web pages and email layouts before they print, which saves real paper when you print something straight from a browser.

Duplex is automatic at 10 ppm black and 7 ppm color, colour runs to 4800 x 1200 dpi, and dual-band Wi-Fi that self-corrects connection problems. The body is made with at least 60% recycled plastic.

Two things to know before setup day. The printer will only accept cartridges with original HP chips or circuitry, and the included HP 68 setup cartridges are small, roughly 120 pages black and 75 color, so expect an early refill. There is also a three-month Instant Ink trial that turns into a monthly fee if nobody cancels it.

Against the Brother Work Smart 1410 you get no feeder and no fax here. Against the Canon PIXMA TS3720 you gain duplex, a touchscreen and faster colour output, and lose the lower entry point. Anyone who prints only occasionally is better served by the tank printers at either end of this list.

Check the account settings the week after you set it up, since printers bought with an Instant Ink trial and then ignored are a common source of surprise invoices.

How to Choose Printers During Prime Big Deal Days

Ink-tank, cartridge inkjet or laser: pick the engine first

The engine decides your running cost more than any discount will. Ink-tank printers refill from bottles and are the right answer above roughly 100 pages a month. Cartridge inkjets suit light use, and monochrome laser wins on documents because toner cartridges last far longer per unit. If your printing travels with you, our guide to portable printers for travel work covers the compromises that requires.

Cost per page beats the sticker price

Work it out before you buy: divide the cartridge price by its rated page yield. A cartridge that looks cheap can cost several times more per page than a bottle-fed set rated at 4,500 pages. The Epson EcoTank ET-2800 and Canon MegaTank G3270 both ship with up to two years of ink, which pushes the running cost well below every cartridge machine here. Owners consistently treat this, not the discount, as the real deal.

Duplex, feeder and tray size against what you really print

Automatic duplex saves paper and is worth paying for; four picks here have none. A document feeder is the feature people miss after a year of lifting the flatbed, and it exists only on the Canon PIXMA TR8620a, both Brother laser units and the HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw. Tray capacity decides how often you refill mid-job, from 60 sheets on the Canon PIXMA TS3720 to 250 on the Brother lasers.

Wi-Fi bands, apps and AirPrint before you buy

Dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz support is on nine of these ten machines and stops a printer from dropping off a crowded network. The Canon PIXMA TS3720 even sets up without a computer. Check that your phone’s platform works with AirPrint or Mopria before you commit, and read whether the brand’s account flow is required at setup, because that is where subscription prompts catch people out.

How to Shop Printer Deals During the Sale

Look at the model number, not just the listing title. The same printer can appear as a base unit, a bundle with extra cartridges, or a bundle tied to a manufacturer subscription plan, and the bundle changes what you end up paying for ink. Check whether the bundle says genuine or third-party cartridges, whether the ink or toner is included, and whether a trial period is attached to the box. Look at who sells and ships it, since a marketplace seller changes your returns. Most offers need a Prime membership, and the price on a specific model moves through the event, so use the buttons here to see the current figure rather than a figure quoted anywhere in a roundup.

• Decide on the engine first: bottles for volume, cartridges for occasional use, toner for documents.
• Divide cartridge price by rated page yield before comparing two machines.
• Check for automatic duplex and a document feeder if you print anything long.
• Confirm dual-band Wi-Fi and AirPrint or Mopria support for your phone.
• Read the bundle contents for subscription trials before checkout.
• Decide on a paper tray size that matches how often you refill.
