Clearing Common Errors on Your Printer

As in many other things in the world of printing, laser printers have come a long way in recent years. They found to be almost exclusively in offices to be available for $ 100 for a user. When the printer manufacturers began marketing their laser printers home users, people thought it was a pretty strange idea. The idea of laser printers that they were clumsy large machines in their offices where the toner cartridges cost a fortune. However, what users do not realize is that they could get rid of worries repeatedly buying ink cartridges while saving money at the same time. Once you get past the initial sticker shock of buying cartridges laser, you will see the figures for an entry-level laser printer on an inkjet printer look something like this:


Typical toner cartridge - $ 50 - $ 60
Page yield - 2,000-3,000 pages
Average cost per page - 2-2.5 cents per page

Typical inkjet cartridge - $ 20 - $ 30
Page yield - pages 400-500
Average cost per page - 4-6 cents per page


Although these are only averages and May not seem very different, generally if you are printing documents, it will probably cost you twice as much to launch an inkjet printer with a laser printer. It is better to think about things in the long term when it comes to laser printers, because only then can you truly appreciate their value. If you buy a laser printer and toner cartridge backup at the same time, when you've finished the second cartridge, you would have increased by about 10 ink-jet cartridges.

Laser printers also offers the advantage of speed. Although inkjet printers have improved their speed in recent years, they still can not match that of laser printers. You May not notice much difference if you print a one-page document in draft mode on your inkjet printer and even though the page on your laser printer. Again, you have to look at the big picture to see the advantages of a laser printer, because when you start printing projects with a large number of pages you will appreciate the speed and quality of a laser printer, giveth thee.

Another advantage of laser printers is their longevity. Most of them last much longer than their counterparts inkjet because they are built for durability and lack the delicate operation found in inkjets. These days, you can probably still find many "old" HP LaserJets of 5-10 years in operation, while the same probably can not be said for inkjet printers and photo from the same period.

So if you're not color printing, then you're probably better off going with a laser printer on an inkjet printer standard. You will appreciate the speed and low maintenance of a laser printer, while saving money on printer ink in the long term.
