An ink jet printer simply prints. A color laser copier COPIES. This is the significant difference between the two.
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 The dot matrix printer is largely obsolete nowadays; it has been replaced by laser/ink jet and thermal systems which are much quieter - making them more suitable for office and home use.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 printer is the best printer on all these three categories.
The main difference is how they print and what they’re best used for. An inkjet printer uses liquid ink sprayed through tiny nozzles to create images and text. It’s usually cheaper upfront and good for photos, color graphics, and low-volume home printing. A color laser copier (or laser printer) uses toner powder and heat to produce prints. It is typically faster, more durable, and cheaper per page, making it better for office environments and higher-volume printing.

Laser printer, then inkjet, then dot matrix, then thermal printers.
No, a dot matrix printer has small pins that hit a ribbon of ink. A laser printer uses toner type ink.
Depend on type of Printer. A laser, LED or electrostatic printer, YES. Dot matrix or Thermal Printer, No.
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.
dot matrix, ink jet, laser
Yes, "dot matrix" is an older type of printer that you don't see much now, because inkjet and laser printers have become standard.
