Laser Printers or Inkjet Printers? A Buyers Guide

Should you buy an inkjet or a laser printer? Often people buying a new printer are confused about whether to buy a laser printer or inkjet printer. The short answer is it depends on what you'll be using it for, and how much you'll be using it.

Laptop Battery Inkjet printers have a lower initial purchase cost but cost more to run because the ink is more expensive when measured on a per page basis. Laser printers cost more but their running costs are lower and they have a better print quality because in general they have a higher resolution (expressed in dots per inch - dpi).

Microsoft Inkjets are great for home use and for photo printing. Lasers are good for high-volume applications, like offices, or for applications that need high print quality.

Laser printers have the ability to print very high quality documents. Since inkjet printers spill out droplets of ink to print, the resolution tends to be lower than with laser printers. So if you're looking for inexpensive black or color printing, inkjet printers are your best bet (and the quality is very good). If you need the ability to print documents of the highest quality in the shortest amount of time, go with a laser printer.

Laptop Computers Inkjet printers transfer tiny droplets of ink directly to the page. A laser printer creates an electrostatic pattern on a drum that attracts ink powder that is subsequently fused onto the paper. This is more complex technology so means a higher price than for an inkjet printer.

Laptop Computer If you examine the same page printed on both a laser printer and an inkjet, you will be able to see that the characters on the laser printer produced page are sharper. That said however, inkjet printers are getting better all the time in terms of the sharpness of printed characters.

Large businesses also use a mix of inkjet and laser printers but on a much larger scale. It isn't uncommon for a large corporation to have 150 inkjet printers and 40 laser printers.

Desktop Computer Another aspect to consider is how heavily you will be using a printer. Printer manufacturers express the durability of a printer in terms of duty cycle in pages per month.

Notebooks For example, a typical laser printer will be capable of a duty cycle up to 7,000 pages a month while a typical entry level inkjet printer is capable of up to 500 pages per month.

Lenovo Some of the more recent inkjets provide excellent color clarity and brightness, and are very well suited for printing photographs.

Hard Drive While inkjet printers themselves are cheaper, their ink is more expensive per page printed. Ink cartridges need to be replaced fairly often if you print a lot, especially if you're printing pictures or photos.
