While they cost more initially, their operating costs are much lower. Of course there are other factors to consider. 2) The page does not smear when damp. With inkjet, you have to be careful that you don't touch it with damp fingers months (or ever) after you have printed the page or before it dries. 3) Speed... This might be a subject of contention in regard to this printer. When printing text, some inkjets will out perform this printer, but when it comes to pictures, this printer is pretty fast. I haven't used all inkjet printers, but from my experience, this is much faster for pictures than any inkjet I have ever owned. 4) Longevity... I'm going to talk about this a little more in depth as it applies to my situation... I've owned many inkjets over the years. Like many folks, I used to print everything at the drop of a hat, but as I watched the pile of printed pages grow, I finally realized that I was just wasting money. So, I began printing only when it was necessary, as it sometimes is. Another problem was created. I printed so infrequently that my ink jets would plug up even though the ink cartridges were full. I would have to buy another printer which was cheaper than repairing the old one. My last inkjet was a HP. I bought new ink to print out a few pages and when I got around to printing again, it wouldn't work. I tried everything I could to unplug the jets, but to no avail. I figure the last time I printed, it cost me about $8 per page (just for ink). You get the idea! To show you how expensive inkjet can be, I bought an all-in-one Printer, Fax, copier, scanner for about $175. I rarely printed with it because my other printer did a better job, but I kept it for it's other features. Eventually I needed to receive a Fax and it wouldn't print so I spent about $70 for ink and it still would not work because of clogged jets. In the end, it cost me about $24 per page to own this all-in-one printer. Enter the laser printer... For people who print infrequently, this is a much better option since the ink does not dry out or the jets clogs since it has neither. Is it perfect? Probably not. The powder (what they use for ink) might possibly get packed down, but shaking should fix that problem. If the printer is in a high heat and humidity environment, it might cause the powder to clump. I'm not sure that this is really a problem. At the very least, it shouldn't cost me $8 a page. The point here is that it should be an improvement over the inkjet where it matters the most to me. BTW, I used a HP 2600n laser printer for about 8 years without any problem. As for this printer... Negatives - 1) Pictures are very dark - However this can be adjusted, just change the print density from the HP ToolboxFX that comes on the install CD and the pictures are actually pretty good. I would think that this would also save toner. 2) The display is small and hard to see, but Source: http://www.amazon.com/HP-LaserJet-CP1525nw-Printer-CE875A/dp/B0044XSNHG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323712882&sr=8-1
