Well better could be cheaper. The ink cartridges for an inkjet are a lot cheaper than laser printers. Also laser printers are much more expensive.
If you own a business where you can wright off the cost then get a laser but for home and small office an inkjet would be more cost effective.
And their are color laser printers on the market also.What is better inkjet printers or laser printers?
You can find laser printers for under $50 after rebate. THe problem is that they come with starter cartridges which hold less than half the normal toner, so they're good for less than 1,000 pages. The toner cartridges cost more than the printer, and often they can't be refilled properly. I tried refilling a Samsung 2010 and the prints came out too light. The same with a Brother 2040 until I learned that the starter cartridges are missing a $3 part. After I bought the starter gear, the refill worked. For about $6 in toner, I get about 2,000 pages, so the laser is faster, sharper and cheaper than an inkjet but only in black and white. For my Epson inkjets I buy compatible cartridges available here http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp
You can get good quality out of ink jet printers these days, so I would just go with one of those. Laser printers are much faster, but are also more expensive (especially the color ones), and use toner.
Sounds like for what you are wanting to do, it is best just to get an ink jet. You can up the quality on the print out in the settings, if you find that normal is not good enough.
Best of luck.
If printing black and white, laserjets are faster, and you don't have problems with ink smears. If you need color, inkjets give better color quality. Laserjet uses what's called toner, just like a copier does.
