What are the advantages of a Laser Printer over an Inkjet Printer?
Speed One of the major things that laser printers have over their inkjet counterparts is the speed at which they deliver pages. When printing using black only (mono), laser printers have been shown during tests that they can be twice as faster. A typical colour laser printer the Lexmark C540n prints pages at a speed of 20 pages per minute, while the equivalent inkjet printer the Canon PIXMA MP640 churns out pages at a rate of 10 pages per minute. Not surprisingly, the gulf between the speeds of both types of printer becomes even wider when printing in colour. The following section will explain why this is. Toner and Ink Placement There is a big difference between the technology used in both types of printer. In inkjet printing, the printer head is effectively spraying ink onto the paper where the computer has instructed it to. Despite the fact that measures are taken to prevent complications, because ink is a liquid, there is a chance that it may end up where it is not supposed to go,
