INKJET PRINTER
Inkjet printers recreate a digital image by spraying ink through microscopic nozzles onto paper. They come in three models: Basic document printer, photo printer and copierscannerprinter (all-inone). Inkjet printers are great for photos and image-heavy documents. They do a better job in printing pictures with vivid colours, high contrasts, and virtually no pixelation, than laser printers. Inkjet printers are also cheap, smaller in size, and its cartridges are easy on the pocket. The icing on the cake is that they don't need warm-up time before printing.
THE CONS
Inkjet ink is water-based, so prints are susceptible to smudging. Inkjet printers have a higher cost per page when it comes to printing, due to their rather inefficient usage of ink. The cartridges require frequent cleaning and some times, they can leak.Also, inkjet printers are not designed to handle high-volume printing.
LASER PRINTERS
Laser printers use a toner cartridge that contains fine powder in combination with a heated fuser.They are of two types: Basic document printer and copier scannerprinter (all-in-one). A laser printer is better suited for text documents and produces perfect, sharp black text. Laser printers also handle small font (below 12) sizes far better than inkjet, and are ideal for bulk printing. Also, the laser toner doesn't smudge in case you accidentally spill wa ter on printed papers.
THE CONS
Laser printers are a bit bulky and won't fit in tight spaces. Toner cartridges cost twice as much as inket cartridges , though they last much longer. Laser printers also tend to be noisy.
WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you print photos mostly, and maybe an image every now and again, we would recommended an inkjet printer. But, if you are going to print a lot of black and white documents, go for a laser one. The starting price for a colour inkjet printer (all-in-one) is ` 3,000 (approx.) whereas monochrome laser printers with multi-functionality start at around 7,000 (approx.).There are colour laser printers as well, but they are very expensive.
Imp: Before buying, it's important to look at the cost of replacement cartridges and their print yield.
