    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.
