What is the difference bettween laser and inkjet printers?

Powdery toners (individual carbon particles are mixed in a polymer which melt in heat which binds to the fibers in the paper to make a durable image and do not require any drying time after printing) are used in laser printers. Lasers are generally larger in size than inkjets.





Liquid ink is used in inkjet printers. They produce tiny droplets of ink to print, the resolution is lower than the laser printers. The print is not as durable in general and require a short drying time.





Laser Printers have better quality text, as their resolution is higher. High resolution also helps the laser printers create precise fonts without fuzzy edges. Lasers are generally faster than inkjets. Inkjets are usually less expensive to purchase and maintain.What is the difference bettween laser and inkjet printers?
There are GOOD low cost options for professional quality printing and the Best Advice unless you like spending good money buying expensive inkjet cartridges, if I were in your shoes I would simply look for an older Hewlett Packard (HP) Laserjet Printer like one from the HP Laserjet 4 or 5 series, HP 2100 or 2200 series etc. As you know the print quality for any papers or documents you have to submit is TERRIFIC and all the drivers are still readily availble on-line for download.





Like someone else suggest I actually saw some GOOD WORKHORSE HP LASERJET 4 printers on sale for $12.00 on CRAIGLIST which caught me by surprise me...since I personally own like 4 Hewlett Packard black %26amp; white HP Laserjets that I paid from a free-gift away, $35, $65 and like $1,500 %26lt;= years ago brand new.





Naturally I don't need any more but where I saw it was on my local CRAIGSLIST under the FOR SALE category then COMPUTERS. What happened was Seller bought a huge lot of commercial HP Laserjet printers on few pallets and simply did not have storage.





Just be PATIENT if you didn't see any under a wildcard search or maybe POST YOUR OWN CL Inquiry in 2 places under WANTED and COMPUTERS but most likely all you will attract is people dumping inkjet printers.





EBAY COMPUTERs might be another Good Buy to find a good laserjet printer, but do yourself a favor and SEARCH BY CLOSEST DISTANCE bec S%26amp;H will certainly be costly. Also genuine unopened HP toner lasts forever and never dries up, and with patience can be bought for like $25 or more and one toner cartridge can easily last a full year.





Hope the Above Info Helps!
