Generally when you are in need of a new printer, you have two options to choose from; laser/LED or inkjet. There are pro’s and con’s to each one. While inkjet tends to have a cheaper start-up cost, you may use ink cartridges more regularly which can add up in price. Even though laser printers can typically go longer between having to change out the cartridges, the cartridges can be more expensive to purchase.
To determine which printer is best for you, take a look at our suggestions below.
