Laser Printer vs Inkjet Printer

More than Twice as Many Pages

On average, you can print more than twice as many pages on a laser printer compared to an inkjet printer for the same amount of money.

Most laser printers print much faster than inkjet printers. This isn’t and shouldn’t be a strong selling point for casual printers, but high volume users will notice a huge difference.
Laser printers produce sharp text. If you’re a high volume printer that only requires text documents, laser is the way to go.
Higher monthly duty cycle means they are better prepared to handle high-volume jobs.
A price-by-price comparison favors laser printers over inkjet printers if you print on a frequent basis.
Toner, on average, is less expensive in the long run for high volume printers because their cartridges can print out thousands of pages in comparison to ink cartridges

Ink is expensive, especially for users who print on a regular basis who are continually forced to repurchase more cartridges because ink cartridges can only print a few hundred pages.
Much slower than laser printers.
Low-capacity paper trays of 50 to 100 sheets, which can be frustrating for a user who prints a lot.
Low monthly duty cycle (the maximum amount of prints possible in a given month without causing damage to the printer).
