What's wrong with my printers?

Whats is difference from laser printers to ink jet printers?

• Answer:

  Basically how they produce the image: Inkjet printers shoot extremely tiny dots of ink at the paper. Laser printers are more complex; I'm not sure exactly how they work, but there's a cylinder, which is charged in certain locations (and the laser has something to do with this charging), then the cylinder picks up charged toner particles, which are then pressed against the paper using heat (this is why paper is warm when coming out of laser printers). Laser printers can generally only print in black-and-white; color laser printers exist, but they're even more expensive. Although laser printers cost more, you'll save quite a considerable amount of money if you do a lot of printing, since you're not paying 50 bucks for a ten-milliliter cartridge of ink (good for a few hundred pages; a toner cartridge, which costs the same, is good for a few thousand pages) all the time. Laser printers also print out higher-quality text at a higher resolution.
