- Better for sharp text, business documents, and high-volume printing.
- Usually faster and more cost-efficient per page.
- Higher upfront cost but lower running cost.
- Black-and-white models are especially economical.
Inkjet Printer
- Uses liquid ink sprayed through tiny nozzles.
- Best for color prints, photos, and detailed images.
- Slower than lasers for heavy print jobs.
- Lower upfront cost but higher ink cost over time.
- Good for home use, crafts, and photo printing.

Differences between Printer Inks?
What type of printer ink is used depends on whether the printing is done by laser or ink-jet. The inkjet cartridge is water based, so the ink itself is in liquid form. With laser jets, the ink particles are solid. When printing with a laser ink cartridge, the dry ink particles are mixed with toner, and then thermally infused on the paper. Both printer ink types can print a high quality resolution and the price difference is nominal for normal range print jobs or for the individual. Laser ink cartridges are a more expensive choice for very high volume printing.
