Disadvantage with laser is they are bigger and heavier and when you do have to replace parts other than the toner, it’s expensive. I don’t have a large house and went with a small Canon inkjet for space considerations. We only print occasionally so it’s worked ok for us.
Do you have issues with the inkjet heads crusting up and causing issues with ink waste? We only print like once or twice a month at most, and that was the reason I went away from them.
That was my issue. Pretty much print a handful of times a year, mostly around tax season and without fail my ink has dried out and needs to be repurchased. Got a brother laser printer 2 yrs ago, still haven't replaced the original toner. Easily in the black for not having to buy ink 2x despite the laser printer being pricier than I'd prefer
At least you can replace parts. When is the last inkjet that had something user replaceable?
Maybe the print head?
Laser Printers are made for businesses and long lifetime generally.
Anyway HP has turned me bitter.
I love my HP LaserJet but it's like 7 years old at this point...
The paper tray, you could replace papers, but they never quite fit and would take several papers at times, sometimes blocking the feed.
Rollers seem to be difficult to swap. I did manage to combine two together to make a working unit once.
But that's noted.
Lasers seem to have more things that can be maintained in a documented way.
What bad is there to say of lasers, after all?
Photos but if I really want that I would go to a printing place.
They really don't have to be bigger and heavier. I have a Pantum P2502w laser printer and it is seriously one of the smallest printers I've ever owned including inkjets. I feel like laser printers always default to paper storage being underneath them instead of having a feeder tray that sticks out further from the body? And that puts them into a larger form factor.
That being said, I'm fairly sure this is a much lighter duty laser printer than other heavier ones.
Also this is not really an endorsement for Pantum, the software and firmware are buggy as hell, but the software isn't bad enough for me to throw it out and the hardware will probably last a decade so good luck to me.
Mine's tiny and light and runs like a champ.
