Is this a good personal laser printer?

Looking to get a good not that expensive laser printer?

• my laser printer goes threw ink like crazy, and the quallty of a laser printer I heard is better and uses a lot less ink, there more expensive but thats ok, what I want to do is printer paperwork and ebay shipping labels (nothing in color, if I want something in color ill just use the laser printer) I heard the hp 3050 is rerally good, but I dont know, any suggestions on a laser printer?

• Answer:

  laser printers don't use ink, they use toner, which is a powder that gets baked onto the page by the heat of the laser. Laser printers are actually more efficient than true ink printers (which use actual ink). From the way you wrote your question, you seem a little confused about the difference. That's OK, I didn't know the difference either until I worked in an office. Color laser printers use color toner which is really really expensive, while colored ink printers are more affordable. For black and white pages, I have an HP wireless printer that I got for $80 on Amazon. It's much better than a black and white ink printer. But for colored stuff, I use an epson colored ink jet printer because it's cheaper and the quality is still good.
