Inkjet vs laser

ink vs toner
Inkjet printers use an ink cartridge to apply liquid ink directly onto the page. Sprayed through microscopic nozzles, ink cartridges can dry out if not used frequently.
Laser printers use a laser to apply toner directly onto the page. Toner cartridges are less likely to dry out and typically have a longer shelf life.

Short-term vs long-term
Inkjet printers generally have a cheaper upfront cost. However, ink refills can be expensive as they require more frequent replacement. Inkjet printers typically have a higher cost-per-page.
While laser printers will have a higher initial cost, maintenance in the long-term is usually cheaper. Toner is more costly than ink, but more cost effective if printing at high volumes.

fast vs faster
The speed of printing on inkjets can vary depending on the complexity of the document, but are usually slower than most laser printers
Laser printers offer faster print speeds, especially for text documents, whilst maintaining a consistent speed across other document types.

colour vs mono
Inkjets are superior if you need to print high-quality colour documents or photos with a wide colour range.
Excellent for minimum colour documents and monochrome printing, laser printers provide less vibrant colour prints compared to inkjet.

replacements vs reliability
Prone to clogging after extended periods of no use, inkjets require more regular maintenance to replace dried ink cartridges.
Generally laser printers will require less regular maintenance and replacement of toner, making them more reliable for infrequent use.
