The following pointers provide you with the main differences between laser printers and inkjet printers, helping you make that all-important decision:

• Laser Printers have a higher acquisition cost than Inkjet Printers, but much lower operating costs.

• Due to the high cost of ink cartridges, the cost per page of an Inkjet Printer ranges from 5-10 times more than that of a Laser Printer.

• An Inkjet Printer delivers higher quality images and is particularly suitable for photo printing.

• An ideal workplace printer would typically be a laser printer, especially if you are not concerned about premium quality image printing.
