Detailed explanation-1: -The upfront purchase price of an inkjet printer is less than a laser printer. However, over time, an inkjet printer is about 10 times more expensive to operate than a laser printer because ink needs replenishing more frequently than toner cartridges, particularly if high-yield toner cartridges are used.
Detailed explanation-2: -This, in turn, has an impact on what a printer will do well, how expensive it is to print documents and photos, and how much you’ll pay upfront. Inkjet printers are cheaper to buy. If you don’t print much, an inexpensive inkjet can be had for $100 or less.
Detailed explanation-3: -When it comes to better cost per page (a.k.a. cost efficiency), laser printers win over inkjet printers easily. Laser toner cartridges have much higher page yields compared to ink cartridges. Even if toner cartridges cost more, the cost per page of a laser toner is still much lower than an ink cartridge’s.
