Inkjet Vs. Laserjet Printers

While both inkjet and laserjet printers have great features and benefits, it can be tough to decide which type is best for your needs. Here are the key facts to help you make the right decision.

  1. Operation Cost

    • Inkjet printers cost more to operate due to their high ink usage. Laserjets use toner, which does not need to be replaced as often.

    Printing Uses

    • Laserjets are ideal for printing high volumes of documents with black text. Inkjets are great for occasional printing black text documents and color photos.

    Price and Features

    • The laserjet printer has a high unit cost, a faster processor, more memory and can process documents three to five times faster than the inkjet. Although the inkjet printer is slower and has fewer bells and whistles, it is fairly inexpensive to purchase.

    Ink and Cartridge Errors

    • Inkjet printers are subject to cartridge error messages (even if there is no problem). It is also difficult to regulate how much ink is being used when printing.

    Network Compatibility

    • Laserjet printers are ideal for businesses who utilize a network for multiple work stations. The inkjet printers are best as a standalone unit and less compatible for networking setups.
