Laser printers have had a lot going for them lately. The prices are falling, they are cheaper for volume printing and the text prints are always better than any Inkjet printer you can ever buy. Laser printers are also incredibly faster than most of the Inkjet printers, and if you are doing continuous printouts, they will simply floor you with the speed (at least most of them will).

There are quite a few things that you must consider before buying a Laser printer. In what follows, we‘ll try to list almost all the possible situations that you may have to deal with.

The first and foremost thing that you need to think about is whether you want a color laser or a mono laser. Laser printers can’t print on thick photo quality paper, so if you want to print really high quality photos you should stick to Inkjet printers. Having said that, they can take reasonably high quality paper (we’ve personally printed on 100g/sm) without any problems and the prints there are fairly decent, but are devoid of any real glossiness that you can get from a photo printer (Inkjets).

Laser printers make sense for people who do a lot of text or combination (text interspersed with small images, graphs, charts etc.) printing. Also, it only makes sense to go for Laser printers if you churn out significant volumes.
