[NFBCS] Printer Recommendation

Mon Aug 1 01:26:44 UTC 2022

Another consideration:  The toner in laser printers invariably
gets into the air.  This can interfere with breathing, and can
even disrupt the operation of electronic equipment.

If you live and sleep in the same air space as your printer,
you should consider  doing something to reduce the toner
in the air.  If you can place the printer in a separate air space
from where you live, that will help, and otherwise you may
want to use unusual means to filter your air.

Ordinary air filters have a MERV rating of 5 or 9, which does not
trap toner.  Filters are available with MERV ratings of 13 and
16, which do trap toner.  This may not help if you do not have
forced air ventilation.  electronic air cleaners are a lot of
work, but they are sometimes worth it.

There is also the problem of how to clean the filter.  I just
purchased some permanent washable MERV 13 filters.  I hope they
will solve my problem.

Inkjet printers may not have this disadvantage.
