The biggest differences between inkjet and laser printers is that an inkjet printer uses ink, is suitable for low volume printing, and is the traditional choice of home users, while a laser printer uses toner, is ideal for high volume printing, is mostly utilized in office settings but is also suitable and is a more.


An inkjet printer uses ink to print documents, while a laser printer uses a laser to print documents. Pretty simple, right? The different printing processes affect each printer's speed, functions, and image quality. Laser printers are better for printing documents, while inkjets tend to be better at printing photos. If you want to keep the cost per page as low as possible, laser printers are cheaper. Inkjet printers generally take up less room than laser printers.

The laser printer's cartridges are more expensive then the cost of inkjet printer's toner. However they do last longer especially if you remember to set the printer in black and white printing mode when printing black and white and only using the color mode when it is really needed.

Answer:

A laser jet printer uses toner, while an inkjet printer sprays ink dots onto a page. Laser jet printers generally work faster than inkjet printers. Although inkjet printers are cheaper than laser jet printers, they are usually more expensive to maintain in the long run as ink cartridges have to be replaced more often. Thus, laser jet printers are cheaper to maintain. Laser jet printers are great for mass printing as they are faster and, as mentioned earlier, cheaper to replenish. Whereas inkjet printers are better for printing high quality images.
