Why Buy a Laser Printer?

If you have ever seen a document from a laser printer, you probably noticed that they just have that extra little zing that you can’t get from your inkjet printer. Laser printers look especially vivid with color documents. 

Laser printers have started to drastically decrease in price. There was a time not too long ago when laser printers were only found in the office. It was very rare to actually see one in someone’s home. Now, it is not uncommon to see a laser printer priced at 100 dollars, and color laser printers for around 200 dollars. This makes it even easier to afford the quality look that you can only get from a laser printer.

Laser printers might have a higher price tag initially, but once you factor in the cost of ownership and replacing cartridges, laser printers are actually cheaper. Laser printers have a lower cost-per-page than most other printers, so the money you spent on the laser printer will easily be recovered within a year. Typically, the cost of printing from a laser printer is about 2 cents per page, while inkjets can cost as much as 8 cents per page. Toner cartridges will typically last longer than the ink cartridges of inkjet printers.
