Knowing where best to source these stands is something that every company purchaser should know.

What should a good printer stand do?
Need to have paper trays and printer accessories
A good printer or cabinet stand will be much more practical, than the furniture stands or printer tables that many people use at home.
Printers in the work place need to have paper trays, and printer accessories stored as well as hiding away cabling.
A very good example of this is the HP 4345 MFP (Multifunction printer) stand, that makes the printer look like a printer machine, which would fit in any busy office environment.
Mobile printer stand
As this unit's stand has wheels, it becomes a mobile printer stand too, and you can attach a printer monitor, where you can release print jobs from many users.
CPU stands
Of course, if you just want a laptop printer, then a desktop printer stand or a
under-desk printer stand will usually be suitable for you.
You could even use CPU Stands, which are generally just feet to raise them off whichever surface you have them on.
Where to buy a functional stand
The manufacturer's stands
The first place to look when you are deciding on your printer stand is to check with the manufacturer to see if they have any be-spoke stands.
Designed stands
Some will have designed stands, that will work with a printer/computer to increase its productivity with things, such as sheet feeders.
Laser printer stands
Some will have sorters installed, which will even staple together your work when it has finished. These are generally laser printer stands, often used in a busy office environment.
eBay and Amazon
Once you know what you are looking for, you should always try eBay to see if there are a number of competitors selling the model you want.
Amazon is also a good source of printer stands, as there are many businesses selling through Amazon.
Specialist stationery shops
If you can't find what you want online, then you can try specialist stationery shops, like Staples. However, they are unlikely to have anything that you couldn't have found online.
If everything else fails, you can go back to the manufacturer and ask for a list of approved suppliers.
