Despite our best efforts to save paper, we often need printouts to complete everyday tasks in our personal and professional lives. And where there’s paper, a flatbed scanner is necessary to make things digital again. If you’re tired of visiting the nearby stationery store for printouts and scans, consider one of the following all-in-one printers for use at home. They’re perfect companions for your PC even in a home-office setup. Because they’re multi-function models, you can scan signed documents and make copies with the touch of a button. Go ahead, check them out.
