It definitely depends on what you are intending to use the printer for. If you need a printer for an office (home or otherwise) and will be printing mainly text then a laser printer will certainly be easier, and ultimately cheaper in the long run. For color printing needs an inkjet will be far better suited to your needs.

Why are inkjet printers more popular for home?

Inkjet printers are good for home use because they are smaller than laser printers and multipurpose laser copiers. They are also less expensive, and if they stop working, it is generally feasible to replace them. The ink cartridges are smaller than toner cartridges.

Why Inkjet Printers Improve Your Business and Save Money?

In this day and age of high definition television and laser-quality printing, it can seem tempting to a business to invest in laser printing devices for the office. But when you examine the cost saving potential of an inkjet printer, you may be forced to change your perspective on how company printing should be done. Laser printers have their place in the office. When you are putting together an important sales presentation, or making copies of information for a company meeting, then laser printers are the best solution. But most of the printing and copying that goes on in a company is of the one and two-page variety. You can reduce the number of laser printing devices in the office, lower the amount you pay for toner and laser printer maintenance and increase productivity by investing in inkjet printers. Inkjet printers are very inexpensive. It is possible to purchase a quality inkjet printer for $40 or less. For a slightly larger investment, you can get a networked inkjet printer that an entire department can use. Now, instead of spending hundreds of dollars each on departmental laser printers and supplies, you have reduced your costs considerably by using inkjet printers. Multi-function inkjet printers can scan, copy and print, and they only cost a little more than an inkjet printer without the multi-function. A departmental multi-function inkjet would reduce the need to invest in more laser-based copiers. It would also put copying and scanning workstations in each department where employees can have easier access to it. This would increase productivity and add money to the company bottom line. If you buy generic ink cartridges, or have your inkjet cartridges refilled, you can save a significant amount of money over buying new ink. This is a considerable cost savings over using laser printer toner. Inkjet printers do not require a drum or fuser unit. That is an expense that can begin to add up over the years if you use a series of laser printers, but an expense you can eliminate with inkjet printers. With the advances in printing technology, inkjet printing color or black and white is comparable to laser for the small print jobs and quick copying needs. Your company can save money by using inkjet technology instead of investing too much in laser printing.
