Color laser printers are very expensive and still don't achieve the same picture quality as an inkjet printer. And I have read once that dust from laser printers might cause cancer but not sure how much there really is to that.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Color lasers are about $300 dollars, do better quality, and have 10x the output per cartridge on a bad day. And they don't dry rot when left without printing for extended periods. Replace the ink on an inkjet more than twice, and a laser is already a better deal.

Not just that, but it’s impossible to find a colour laser that’ll do 11x17 and duplex. I think my only option is a small office printer lease.

No they're not, and the quality is better. Quit lying.

[–] OskarAxolotl@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Huh? No, I am not. Find me an inexpensive laser printer that does color at the same level of quality as a basic inkjet printer.

They are, though. By a huge margin.

You think $250 is "very expensive" for a printer?

[–] Apollo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

This is gonna blow your mind mate - statements like "very expensive" are entirely subjective.

Also ten times the price of the cheapest inkjet printers is considerably more expensive - one could even call that 'very' expensive in comparison, no?
