I have an HP laser printer and paid $155.00 for a new cartridge yesterday and I noticed there are refill kits available for around $40.00
How often doe the replacement smart chips on toner cartridges have to be replaced ?Are the refill kits for laser printers any good ? What about the smart chips ?
Well it depends on the size of the toner cartridge, But as a rule you can get a lot of prints for your money.
I have a laser right now that I am using and the drum toner is listed at being able to print 12,000 pages, but for some reason I get about 12,500 out of it. Most always it is less than listed but I am happy with the results.
I would recommend seeing if they will offer you a rebate for your old cartridge if you turn it in before you buy the new one, That can save you some money.
With either ink jet or laser I always recommend buying new cartridges each time you need them and I always suggest buying the manufacturers suggested cartridge. There are some companies who make no name replacement cartridges for printers and guarantee they will work the same and give the same performance, Most always they lack the performance and more often than not you will have a mess with the liquid ink that the ink jet uses and with your laser you will have carbon dust flying around like crazy, And this also happens with refilling them as well unless done by a professional.
But really you are better off, especially with a laser printer to just buy a new toner each time you need one and see what kind of rebate they will give you for your old one. Almost all laser printers have a rebate of some sort for the old toner cartridge.

What is the difference between ink jet and laser printers?
which of the above two is better?
why?What is the difference between ink jet and laser printers?
Inkjet Printer - Inkjet printers are a type of printer that works by spraying ionized ink at a sheet of paper. Magnetized plates in the ink's path direct the ink onto the paper in the desired shapes.
A Laser printer uses a light beam to transfer images to paper. Laser printers print a full page at a time. A laser is used to 鈥榩aint鈥?the dots of light onto a photographic drum or belt. The toner is applied to the drum or belt and then transferred onto the paper.
Laser is faster and very good qualityWhat is the difference between ink jet and laser printers?
difference-- ink jet printer use the ink cartridge(ink spreading the paper)
laser jet-- laser jet also using cartridge but laser cartridge spraying ink on the paper..better quality is ink jet printer but high working cost(cartridge price)
laser printer is low working cost.... read care fully( my english is not good please forgive me sir) decision up to u
laser is better quality, more expensive but a cartrage will last longer.

What is the main difference between inject and laser printers?
I am planning to buy a printer but I dont know the difference between laser and inject printers.Please tell me the diffrence.Which one is better fot the use.
ThanksWhat is the main difference between inject and laser printers?
INKJET you mean, inkjet basically means the ink goes straight on the page
laser on the other hand is a powder thats burnt to the page
laser produces MUCH better quality. Dont get an inkjet printer, laser all the way!What is the main difference between inject and laser printers?
If you are looking for a better quality printing than you should go for Laser Printer. On the other hand, inkjet printer's print quality is not good, but its relatively cheaper.
Also, if you are not a rich person, you must consider the toner/cartidge price of the printer you going to buy. Sometimes its quite funny, you can buy an Epson inkjet with 拢20 where its cartridge price is also 拢20.
ok, this is where it may get complicated lol
Inkjet printers are printers that use cartridges of ink (one black, one colour) and vary in speed and quality dependant on brand
Laser printers on the other hand are basically what they say. The laser writes to a drum and then the toner sticks to the drum then the paper goes round it and sticks to the paper and is then fused to it. Believe me it is quicker but these printers are hard to fix and shouldn't be done by anyone that's not trained to. Also its expensive to print in Color and also to do that you need to feed the paper through once for each Color.
Hope this helps
Inkjets use liquid ink and lasers use toner which is powder. Inkjets must be use weekly or the inkjets dry out, the cartridges dry out. If you use a printer every few days it's not a problem. Laser printers toner does not dry out [it's dry already] and can be left off for weeks, months. I use both and like my Epson inkjet better. My laser is pretty much my backup.

What's the difference between inkjet and laser printers?
Do they both use ink cartridges? Is one better than the other in terms of print quality?What's the difference between inkjet and laser printers?
There's a huge difference between the two.
Inkjet printers work by spraying ink onto a page. They're usually pretty cheap, but the print quality might not be all that great due to the paper used and the quality of the ink.
A laser printer is a whole other paradigm when it comes to printing. The idea goes something like this:
The page to be printed is scanned into the printer and the laser takes over. It fires onto a cylinder a backwards image of the page to be printed. Wherever the laser hits, the cylinder gets a slight electric charge. Toner, very similar to the stuff found in photocopiers, is then attracted to the cylinder. The paper then receives a slight opposite charge to the cylinder and attracts the toner. This passes through a roller to heat the toner and melt it onto the paper. The cylinder is then scraped clean, uncharged and the process repeats itself.
The result is a very clean and crisp image. The downside to a laser printer is the cost and the messiness caused when somebody spills the toner.What's the difference between inkjet and laser printers?
In general terms, laser printers have higher resolution so they have better print quality. Inkjets create images by spitting out tiny droplets of ink, so their resolution is lower. If you look closely at a page printed on a laser printer and the same page printed on an inkjet, you will be able to see that the laser has smoother edges to the fonts.
Inkjets are the way to go (as of 2003) for cheap color printing. Some of the more recent inkjets provide excellent color clarity and brightness, and are very well suited for printing photographs. Also, inkjets are usually quite a bit cheaper than lasers, and color inkjets are MUCH cheaper than color laser printers.
While inkjet printers themselves are cheaper, their ink is much more expensive. Ink cartridges need to be replaced fairly often if you print a lot, and especially if you're printing pictures, and ink cartridges are not cheap. On the other hand, toner for laser printers is pricey, but will rarely need to be changed. If you're using a laser at home, you may never need to change the toner.
All in all, each printer has its function. Inkjets are great for limited home use and for photo printing. Lasers are good for high-volume applications, like offices, or for applications that need extremely high print quality.
Inkjet uses ink cartridges where laser printer uses towner catridges.
Inkjet is based on liquid ink. Laser is based on thermal technology.
Quality of laser output will be much better than inkjet.

Hello,
In comparison to ink jets, laser printers are quieter, faster and remarkably hassle free.
Thanks,
Brayden.
Laser jet printers are slow................................ i think or not!!!!!
One uses sprayed ink and the other uses static electricity to stick 'dust' to the paper then melts it into the paper. Guess which is which.
One uses ink, the other uses dust called toner.
Lasers are (usually) faster, cheaper, often higher resolution and the print is waterproof and smudge proof. But colour laser is very expensive.
One squirts ink at the paper (usually different colours).
The other uses static and electricity to put black powder (toner) on the paper.
Laser printers do not use ink cartridges.
Ink jets have photo-ability.
Laser printers are usually faster but black only.
They both use Ink cartridges, in the laser printer the Ink type is powder but in the ink jet the Ink type is liquid. and of course the laser printer have a very high quality and its better than the ink Jet.
Laser printers use a powder called tiner whereas inkjet use ink.
Laser printers cost more and their images are sharper as they use a photographic technology.
laser printers are superior print quality to inkjet printers.hollywood theater

What are the advantages of nonimpact printers, such as laser printers, over impact printers?
What are the advantages of nonimpact printers, such as laser printers, over impact printers? Are there any disadvantages?
Could not find the information I needed for this question I have posedWhat are the advantages of nonimpact printers, such as laser printers, over impact printers?
Print quality and cost/page are going top be your main differences.
You will get a much higher quality print with no smearing, smudging , or uneven ink with a laser toner printer.
Additionally, ink prices for impact printers can be as much as $0.12-$0.20 per page. Laser toner printer cartridges can be replaced for less than $.02 per page printed, on the high side.

How much less ink do laser printer use than inkjet printers?
Is it worth spending $120 on a laser printer since it uses less ink or is it better to just pay $50 for an inkjet printer and buy more ink?
Vaguely, how much less ink do laser printers use?How much less ink do laser printer use than inkjet printers?
Well, laser printers don't use ink. They use toner. The smart @ss answer is, you pay $0 on ink. To really see the cost saving is to compare the price per page (P/P). For a laser printer you're looking about 2-5 cents P/P. An ink jet printer, your looking about 10-15 cents.
It depends on your printing jobs. If you print tons of pictures, an inkjet will produce higher quality prints. Since they can create about up to 2500 dpi. Toner can generate about 600dpi.
If you use a printer few and far between or your mainly printing documents or don't care about quality as much go for a laser. Toner doesn't dry up as inkjets do. If you don't print every few weeks on an inkjet, the printer heads will dry up. The toner is a dry powder, the most it'll do is it might settle if U don't use it for extended periods, but a gentle shake should take care of it.

What's the difference between laser printers and inkjet printers?
like i know that laser printers are more effective and they don't smudge when they print, but like do they cost more to fill up than inkjets? any other info on this topic is greatly appreciatedWhat's the difference between laser printers and inkjet printers?
Unless you absolutely need photo quality, go with a laser. Lasers have sharper text and are generally faster than inkjets. While toner cartridges are more expensive than ink, they print more pages, so the cost per page is lower. But you pay more up front. Inkjets are better for photos. Personally, I use both. I have an inkjet for photos and a color laser for jobs which don't need absolute photo quality.

I have this printer and it's really nice. Toner cartridges are more expensive then inkjet cartridges ($70 for a set of 4 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp ) but they last for about 2,000 pages.It does a nice job on photos, but an inkjet is still better for this.
Inkjet: As someone who was in the computer hardware business for years (though I rarely sold printers since I couldn't compete with the crazy rebates) I have always recommended Epson. The print quality is excellent, even on plain paper. I have photos I printed on a 640 about ten years ago hanging in my office which still look good, though not as good as the ones from the CX8400 on glossy paper. The warranty is excellent. For a year, Epson will express-ship a replacement and pick up the old one. I had one customer who needed this. He called one afternoon and had the replacement two days later. Another client bought a Canon. It needed two repairs within a few months. Each time it was taken to the repair center, then picked up a few days later. This client runs a specialty printing business and this really hurt. They have since bought an Epson CX5000 and have had no down time since.
The C120 (printer only - no scanner) is on sale at Ritz Camera free after rebate but you must also buy a digital camera. The cheapest is $15. With $7 shipping you pay $22 for printer and camera. It uses 3 colors and 2 of the SAME black cartridge.

A set of 5 cartridges are $23 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp
The RX595 scanner/copier/printer also prints on DVDs. It uses 5 colors plus black and has high photo quality. It was on sale at Ritz Camera for $45 after rebate with digital camera. They no longer seem to have the printer, though the rebate is good to the end of the month, so maybe they'll get more in. The printer is $130. The cheapest camera is $15 bringing the total to $145. Then there is $100 rebate and free shipping, bringing the final cost to $45. http://www.ritzcamera.com/webapp/wcs/sto鈥?/a> A set of 7 cartridges (1 extra black) is $30 at http://ccs-digital.com/ink.asp
What's the difference between laser printers and inkjet printers?
Inkjets spray ink onto a page; lasers put toner (dry powder) on a page. Although a toner cartridge is more expensive than an ink cartridge, it never dries up and can print more pages. It's actually cheaper to print off one page on a laser than on an inkjet.
Here's a good article describing the 2 types of printers. I'm sure you will find the info interesting and informative.
