    Printers in Police Cruisers

    Does anyone have suggestions for in-car printers. We are looking at inkjets. Are there any brands / models to stay away from or that anyone has had a good experience with. Thank you for your opinions.

    I can tell you that the HP's are rated best by Consumer Reports for using up the most percentage of the ink in their cartridge, as opposed to the other brands.

    I am a big HP fan, but I don't have any experience with how any printer works in a vehicle.

    I have to agree with NYDS, I think thermal would be your best bet. More efficient, reliable, and they last longer than ink jet.
