Printables (planners, gift tags, kids worksheets, wall art) are cheap and instant, but they only look good if they are printed well. Here is the small kit that makes the difference, whether you sell printables or just use them at home.
How to choose
- Ink cost matters more than printer price: ink-tank printers cost more upfront but far less per page.
- Paper weight: 200 to 300 gsm card stock for tags and cards; 100 gsm for planners.
- Size: most printables are designed for A4.
Our picks by type
Ink-tank colour printers
Low cost per page; good for anyone who prints a lot.
A4 card stock (200 to 300 gsm)
For gift tags, cards and anything that needs to stand up.
Matte and glossy photo paper
Makes wall art and photo printables look sharp.
A4 laminators
Turns kids worksheets and chore charts into reusable, wipe-clean sheets.
Paper trimmers
Straight, clean edges in seconds; much neater than scissors.
Spiral binding machines
Turns printed planner pages into a proper book.
Before you buy
If you only print a few pages a month, a local print shop may be cheaper than buying a printer. Looking for ready-made printables? See our Planners & Templates. Prices and stock change often during festive sales, so check the details on Amazon before ordering.
