Default printer storage

Hi!
My husband and I have spent hours looking through photos of peoples craft places shown here and on hgtv.
The thing that stands out for us is we have not seen ANY rooms with printers in them. I have 3 printers one of which is a large color laser and two smaller inkjets.
My biz started as personalized candy wrappers, and I had hoped to sell my cards too. Sadly, that did not happen and now I use a Silhouette Cameo as a large part of my biz.
But our main problem is how to make our small space work better and how to store such a large printer that is used rarely.
Would love to hear/see some ideas.

Thanks
Paula

I too, have three printers. I purchased a stand from Walmart and it holds all printers. Currently, it floats around my room until I can find wall space and a permanent spot for it.

I have two printers. One color all-in-one and one older b&w laser.

You can see them in this picture on my blog:

And this one shows a bit more how my desk is set up in the corner:

Over Christmas I rearranged my desk quite a bit and now the b&w laser is under the desk waiting for me to buy a low rolling cart for it. I don't use it very often, but it does come in handy on occasion. (I moved the color printer over closer to the end of the desk to give me more workspace.)

In my office I have three printers - one monochrome newer HP that sits on a 1" plywood square with wheels under a 4' height adjustable table. On top of that table
sits an old HP monochrome on top of a printer riser that holds paper and next to it is an HP all in one also on a printer riser. Sorry no pictures.
If the space were smaller, I would have shelves made of wood, wide enough to hold the
printer while allowing to printer to slide out on a rolling shelf.

Could you post the link to the printer stands. I didn't see anything there that could hold my printers.
Thanks!

Here is the stand from Walmart. DH lowered the middle shelf so now my three printers sit on it. You can see a picture of the stand in action on my blog .
