As August approaches, you may find yourself preparing for the big move from high school to university as a first-time college student.

This could involve picking out new decor for a dorm room or planning the commute from your parent’s house. In any case, college is a significant milestone in a student’s life.

During this hectic time, it’s normal to consider big-picture concerns: dorm essentials, apartment renting costs, and whether to attend a local community college or an out-of-state college.

But have you considered the cost of printing? One thing is certain: as a college student, you will do a lot of it!

College students face high printing costs on campus, often around 20 cents per page. For students in paper-heavy classes, these costs add up quickly, creating a burden on top of tuition, food, and housing fees. Additionally, finding printing stations on campus can be difficult and time-consuming.

MacBooks are increasingly common in most office environments.

While the reasons for this vary, Macs have become so popular because of their usability and efficiency. 

79% of Mac users say they aren’t as efficient with any other computer, and 74% report that they experience fewer issues with their Macs than with other computer brands.

However, as efficient as MacBooks are, finding quality office printers that are compatible and easy to use with Mac OS can be challenging. 

Our print experts at STPT know that deciding on a printer can be difficult, especially when trying to find one that is compatible or easy to use with Mac computers. We’ve compiled this list of options to help you learn about the best printers for Mac computers.
