What's the difference between laser jet printer and ink jet printer?

Ink Jet or Laser Printer for home offie?

• I work from home and do alot of printing, mostly stuff that I read and throw away. I currently use an Ink Jet but the ink costs are ridiculous! I am thinking of buying a laser printer, but is it worth it? If so, any recommendations on brand, model, etc?

• Answer:

  You are looking at the wrong solution. Lot's of people make that mistake. They simply buy what's cheap. But the printer is not the expensive part, the INK is. For high volume printing, you should buy a laser printer. While the cartridge seems expensive, they often print over 3,000 sheets, instead of 200. Buy YES, you would use a cheaper black only laser printer. I would buy a mid-range priced HP laser printer. (not the cheapest). But if you want low cost inkjet, then buy Canon. Visit Staples and LOOK. The color prints from separate cartridges, so you don't throw away good ink when one color runs out. For high volume, the Canon has a large capacity black cartridge. Look for the model that takes 5 seperate cartridges. Staples is a very reputable dealer. They have a 14 day NO HASSLE return policy. That means that they support you, and not their vendors. They don't want you to be disappointed, so they don't sell CRAP. Use the EASY BUTTON. Good luck and Happy Computing!
