A laser printer is a printer, with similar results to an inkjet printer, however it uses laser toner, which is a powder. This is a more professional unit, more often offering fax and copy functions as well. It also produces better results for an office, looking to print documents.
Laser printers work by placing toner, a mixture of ink, rust and plastic, onto the paper and then fusing it with heat to the paper. It will give a slightly raised affect to the characters. It is crisper then an inkjet printer and will not fade or bleed over time. It may react with other plastics and 'stick' to binders and protective sleeves.
Inkjet printers literally spray ink onto the paper. It can bleed and feather if the moisture content on the paper is too high and can run if it gets wet. They also tend to fade when exposed to light for long periods of time.
An ink jet printer simply prints. A color laser copier COPIES. This is the significant difference between the two.

An ink jet printer simply prints. A color laser copier COPIES. This is the significant difference between the two.
The difference between an inkjet printer and a laser jet printer is that inkjets use liquid ink and laser jets use toner cartridge and heated fusers. Inkjets can print in color and laser jets can't.
Thermal printers require special heat sensitive paper. Laser printers apply a powder to regular paper that is sealed on by a heating element.
Inkjets normally work on less than 100 watts. Laser printers pull from 400 to 750 watts of power. I've found that laser printers impossible to use when running an ac inverter in my vehicle to power the printer.
Laser printer cartridges are much more expensive than inkjet printer cartridges. Laser printer cartridges last a lot longer than inkjet printer cartridges.
inkjet printer is less expensive but slow starting from 2500/- only.. laser printer is more expensive but fast starting from 5000/-.. inkjet is normally color printer while if we say laser printer it means it is b/w printer.. we are having color laser printer too..
The KIP is a black and white only laser (toner) printer copier scanner, the HP is a color inkjet printer.
A laser printer makes a better quality print than a ink jet printer. An ink jet printer sprays the ink onto the paper and is sometimes blurry, whereas a laser printer is a pin point printing system.
That really depends on your specific printer. My canon printer only the large black used for prints cost more. Some printers there is a difference between color and black.
A Canon laser printer would normally be under $300.They sell for between $90 and $200,depending on what model you are looking for.
