Question from Martha

Do you know of a home printer that does not offgas when in use?

 

Lisa’s Answer

All printers will offgas.  In addition to off-gassing, printers can emit particles into the air which is also harmful.  Always use a printer in a well-ventilated area, keep it away from your bedroom, and use a high quality air purifier.

Here is a helpful resource to identify less harmful electronics.  Look for “gold” level printers that  score highly on reducing environmentally sensitive materials.
