About Cloud to Print
Cloud to Print is a small independent publication about home and small-office printing in the UK. We started it because almost every "best printer" list on the internet is built for ad money, not for readers, and someone still has to answer the ordinary questions: should I buy inkjet or laser, how do I print from my phone, why has this printer eaten £80 of ink in a year.
What we cover
Inkjet and laser printers for the home. Multifunction devices for a kitchen desk or a spare room. Scanning. Paper. Phone and cloud printing, including AirPrint and Mopria. Running costs. The tedious but useful bit about duplex, drivers and jams. We do not cover large-format office machines, industrial printing, 3D printing or any kind of printing-for-money setup.
Who writes
Articles are written by the Cloud to Print editors. There are no invented bylines on this site; every piece without a named guest author is written by us together. If a piece is a guest post, the guest author is credited at the top of the article.
What we will never do
- Invent reviews. We do not claim to have long-term-tested machines we have not tested.
- Accept paid placement in a review or a comparison article without clearly labelling it.
- Recommend a specific commercial model without pointing to an independent review you can read.
- Publish affiliate "best of" lists dressed up as editorial.
Corrections
We are a small team and we get things wrong. If you spot an error, tell us at [email protected] and we will correct it, with a short note on the article saying what changed.
A note on the "Cloud" in the name
We liked that it covered both "printing from your phone to a thing that is downstairs" and "printing from your laptop to a thing that is somewhere else entirely". That is the arc of home printing in the 2020s, and it is less dull than it sounds.
