Differences Between Inkjet And Laser Printers

1) Most inkjet cartridges are rigged to stop printing even before the ink is gone. Toner cartridges can print even after the toner gets low just by shaking the cartridge gently.
2) Ink cartridges dry up over time. Toner lasts until it's empty.
3) Slowest laser printer prints faster than the fastest inkjet.
4) Ink is water soluble. One drop of water completely destroys printed text. Toner isn't.
5) Toner cartridges are more expensive, but they last many times more than ink. With certain models you can get more than 3 times the number of pages per dollar with laser than with inkjet.
