today we're going to help you buy a new printer the first thing to decide is
whether you want an inkjet printer or a laser printer and we're going to tell
you the key differences between these two technologies as fast as possible if
you don't know what kind of printer you have or it came with your computer or something like that the odds are good
you have an inkjet printer one of the advantages of them is they're extremely
inexpensive for the printer Hardware up front they have some other advantages as
well though they're very compact they don't use much power compared to their
laser counterparts and they are extremely versatile you can print to a
variety of media such as labels without ruining the sticker backs because
there's no heat involved in the printing process and because the vast majority of
inkjet printers out there do print in color you can get reasonably good photos
out of pretty much any inkjet printer these days Laser Printers are more
expensive in the short term you have to pay more for the hardware particularly
if you want a color model but they do tend to be more reliable so they'll last
longer and if you use them very infrequently they don't have nozzles
that can clog unlike their jet counterparts they also produce very
crisp text if you're printing out resumés print it on laser even the
cheapest laser printer from 10 years ago will print crisper text than the most
high-end ink jet printer today last but not least you'll save on toner in the
long run because toner with a couple of very few exceptions is cheaper than ink
for refills so it boils down to this if you're going to be printing a lot of
text get yourself a laser printer it'll look much more crisp it's way more
professional and you you'll actually save money in the long run if you do
enough printing if you're going to be printing photos and more often than just
sort of once a month or once every two months because then you risk having your nozzles Clogg then an inexpensive inkjet
printer is not a bad idea compared to entrylevel color Laser Printers an
entry-level color inkjet printer is much less expensive and will produce much
better results on a wider variety of different types of
