What is the difference between a color laser and a color ink jet printer?
Both are good quality printers. Ink jet printers are less expensive to purchase, ranging from under $200 to over $1000 for a business professional system. They require the purchase of color cartridges, which can be expensive. Ink cartridges may be able to print about 200 pages before requiring replacement. Color laser printers range from about $500 to over $5,000. They don’t require ink cartridges because they use toner. Toner can print from 3,000 to 15,000 pages, depending on the printer, before requiring replacement.
