Best Answer

The advantages of a black and white (monochrome) printer are typically speed and economy. Even the entry level monochrome laser printers are faster than color inkjets, and faster than entry-level color laser printers. While toner cartridges tend to me more expensive than inkjet cartridges, they usually have a higher page capacity, and they don't dry out and clog even if left for several months between uses. People brave enough to refill their toner cartridges realize even more significant cost savings.
