    I still don’t get why anyone is buying inkjet printers for the past 20 years. It makes zero sense to me.

      My in-laws gave my son an HP Envy. I placed a big Apple logo next to the HP logo. I have Apple logos on my trash bins too. Basically, any trash around the house gets an Apple logo stuck to it

      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.

        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.

          If you want to print pictures to hang on your wall, ink printers print much better color quality.

          If you want flat graphics to print on a document, laser is better.

          Just depends on what your use case is.
