Which do you prefer, color laserjet or color inkjet printer?

Question

Hi Everyone,
I have a Lexmark C510 color laserjet.  When it works, it produces higher quality, more durable prints than inkjets.  The colors don't fade, and they resist smearing because they're not water soluble like the inks used in inkjet cartridges.

The problem, at least with the C510, involves high maintenance costs in order to keep getting quality printouts.  I'm frequently replacing toner cartridges, photodeveloper cartridges, fusers, and even waste toner bottles (!!!) to remove color banding and streaks from the printouts.  Lexmark hasn't been able to give me satisfactory reasons for all this maintenance other than "replace this, replace that," etc.

Needless to say, these color cartridges are a lot more expensive than ink cartridges.

What's your take on this?  Are color laserjets worth the high maintenance costs in order to get higher quality output than inkjets?

Thanks to all for taking the time to read this lengthy question.

Have a good day!!!

Personally, I’ll prefer to use laser because the inkjet produce a bit blurry at color edge. – I found that using laser cost much cheaper to produce (per page) rather than inkjet and also better quality. Considering for your high printer maintenance cost (maybe for other parts – other than catridge), perhaps you better look for different brand as the options.

i had a laserjet HP L6 and it worked wonders for me. it was so fast and economical and the quality was pretty good as well. now with an inkjet, i really miss my old one. i don't know much about the Lexmark printers, but a quality laserjet is atleast 10 times better than an inkjet. try using a printer from HP or Canon. they r pretty good.
