Editorial Policy

Last updated: 2 July 2026.

At PrinterDojo, our goal is to publish the most accurate, useful, and trustworthy content about printer troubleshooting and maintenance that we can. Here is exactly how we do it.

Who writes our content

Every article is written by a named human author with relevant experience. Our lead author is Arjun Mehta, 10+ years in IT support and hands-on printer repair across inkjet and laser models from the major brands. Author details appear on each post and on our author page.

How we research

We start from primary sources, manufacturer manuals and support documentation, first-hand testing on real printers, and reputable technical references. We prefer original data and hands-on findings over rehashing what other sites say. Where a fix depends on a specific model, OS version, or firmware, we say so. We do not scrape, spin, or auto-publish unedited content.

How we write

Content is written to be people-first: clear, specific, and genuinely helpful for everyday users and small office/home office owners, in a calm, patient, reassuring, practical voice at a grade 7-8 reading level. We prioritize solving the reader’s problem over stuffing keywords, and we flag any step that carries a safety risk or could void a warranty.

How we review and fact-check

Before publishing, each article is reviewed for accuracy, clarity, and completeness. We verify factual claims, check that links work and point to reputable sources, and confirm the piece meets our quality standards. Where a procedure can be tested, we test it before recommending it.

How we handle updates

Printers, drivers, and operating systems change over time. We periodically review and update older articles, refreshing steps, screenshots, links, and recommendations. Significantly updated posts show a revised date.

How we correct mistakes

We are not perfect. If we get something wrong, we fix it. Spotted an error? Email [email protected]. We review every report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and note substantive corrections transparently.

Editorial independence

Advertising and affiliate relationships never dictate our conclusions. We are independent and not affiliated with any printer manufacturer, so no brand can buy a better recommendation. Sponsored or affiliate content is disclosed, see our Affiliate Disclosure. Ads are managed separately from our editorial work.

AI and automation

Where we use tools to assist research or drafting, a human author reviews, edits, fact-checks, and takes responsibility for every published word. We do not publish unreviewed machine-generated text.
