    Depends on the intended use. Inkjet is better for photos but requires regular use otherwise the ink will dry in the heads.

    Laser is meant for bulk printing but can also be for scarce usage as the ink is already a dry powder. Laser printers require more power to run due to the fuser module having to heat up in order to fuse the ink to the paper.

    better for what purpose?

    laser are faster, but not as vibrant as ink.

    also, laser is fr more expensive, especially for color, they can be 4x as expensive.

    Laser is better. INK is expensive and printers waste INK cleaning the Heads. Also the INK can dry out if the printer sits for a while and not used.

    Laser is better because it’s faster and better quality but it’s also more expensive especially color laser printers. But the price gap is much narrower now compared to 5 or so years ago.

    With just 1 toner, you can get several thousand pages printed while inkjet cartridges gives about 100 pages.
