When a printer stops working, the first instinct for many people is to replace it. But with today’s rising equipment costs—and the surprising repairability of most printers—fixing your machine is almost always the smarter choice. At Midwest Laser Specialists (MLS), we’ve expanded our services beyond laser printers to now include inkjet printer repair, making us your trusted local partner for fast, affordable, and reliable service.

Whether you're dealing with streaks on the page, clogged nozzles, grinding noises, or “printhead error” messages, our team can get your device running like new again—often for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Why Repairing a Printer Is Better Than Buying a New One

Buying a new printer may seem convenient, but it comes with hidden costs: setup time, higher ink or toner expenses, compatibility issues, and the environmental impact of electronic waste. Most common printer issues—especially with inkjet models—can be repaired quickly and inexpensively.

At MLS:

  • Labor is only $60, keeping repair costs predictable and budget-friendly.

  • Parts are often minimal, and many issues don’t require replacement hardware at all.

  • Repairs extend the lifespan of your machine, saving you hundreds of dollars over time.

For both homes and businesses, printer repair is almost always the most cost-effective option.

Why Partnering With a Credible, Certified Printer Repair Company Matters

Printers—especially modern inkjet and laser models—are complex machines. Fixing them correctly requires specialized training, proper diagnostic tools, and hands-on experience.

Here’s why choosing a certified technician from MLS makes a difference:

  • Our technicians are trained specifically in inkjet and laser printer diagnostics and repair.

  • We understand brand-specific components, from HP and Canon to Brother and Epson.

  • We stand behind our work with a 30-day warranty, giving customers peace of mind.

  • We never upsell unnecessary parts or services—just honest repair you can trust.

Whether you choose a walk-in serviceor schedule an onsite repair, you’re getting a qualified expert who knows how to fix your machine properly the first time.

What Is a Printhead Cleaner Kit—And Why You Might Need One

Inkjet printers often fail because the printhead becomes clogged with dried ink. This can cause:

  • Faded prints

  • Missing colors

  • Streaks or banding

  • “Printhead not found” or “Printhead failure” messages

At MLS, we offer a Printhead Cleaner Kit for $39.99, designed to safely and effectively flush out blockages in inkjet printheads. This process restores proper ink flow and print quality without the need for expensive printhead replacements.

A professional cleaning can extend the life of your inkjet printer and prevent recurring print issues.

Why a Warranty Matters When Choosing a Printer Repair Service

Not all repair shops stand behind their work—but we believe in transparency and accountability.
That’s why Midwest Laser Specialists offers a 30-day warranty on all repairs.

This protects you from:

  • Repeat malfunctions

  • Incorrect diagnostics

  • Faulty replacement parts

A warranty shows confidence in the repair process—and it ensures you get long-term value from your service.
