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..
Another name for a laser printer is an LED Printer. LED stands for Light Emitted Display. Laser Printers are more common in business than in the home, but they can work in either.
Laser printer cartridges are much more expensive than inkjet printer cartridges. Laser printer cartridges last a lot longer than inkjet printer cartridges.
The main advantage of a laser color printer its speed. The laser componant of the printer also alows to to be far more precise than its counterpart, the inkjet printer. It is important to note, however, that the laser printer's ink is more expensive than that of it's counterpart.
The difference is the technology used in the printing. The dot matrix printer uses a matrix of needles that press through an inked ribbon to leave marks on the paper. The laser printer uses a roller system to leave charged area on the paper which attracts toner (fine particles of pigment) to stick to the paper. The dot matrix printer is largely obsolete nowadays; it has been replaced by laser/ink jet and thermal systems which are much quieter - making them more suitable for office and home use.
Laser printers are typically 20% higher in cost. This can vary depending on make.
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.
The reason why it's difficult to produce a portable laser printer is becuase of its hardware. Unlike a inkjet printer, a laser printer uses scanning and takes ink from more advanced technology than inkjet cartridges. There's a reason why laser printers are so expensive!
The original purchase price of a color laser printer is very comparable to an inkjet printer. The additional difference in price comes when you purchase the ink cartridges are the laser cartridges are higher in price.
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.
Laser printer use the same scheme of printing that was used in first photocopying machine, this scheme is called electrophotography and was introduced in 1938 and more developed in 1980. Laser printing prints using electrical charges to develop printed images on paper and the dot-matrix uses the scheme of printing dots to create images that is old printing technique. The quality of laser printing is for better than dot-matrix printing scheme. Another benefit of laser printer over dot-matrix printing is that its speed is faster than dot-matrix.
In a way they are. If you want to use the printer from multiple computers using a wireless connection, the wireless printer is the right one for you. They are also great for cutting down on clutter. However, they are more expensive.
