ProudGrandma Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have a color laser multi-function printer but it's dying. I started looking at options... what I mostly do is black and white printing...but I like to have the color option when I need it. I don't fax. Rarely scan, but make copies occasionally. I noticed that the inkjets were less expensive than the laser. Since i am not running a business...mostly making school papers, I don't need the highest of quality. What are the biggest differences between an inkjet and laser? What sort of copier would be a good choice for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin'sMom Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I bought a non-wireless black and white Samsung printer, an Xpress M2625D. I totally love it. It is fast and cheap, just what I wanted, and the print quality is very good. There is also a default eco setting, which reduces the amount of toner and prints on both sides of the paper.

PrincessMommy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 we just bought a b/w laser printer. We spent time considering it, figured we mostly do project papers/letters, etc. Ink jets are cheaper- but the ink was *always* running out and expensive. However, within a month or two I was missing the color option. I think whatever you choose you'll probably find you'll need/want color more than you think. At least that has been my experience. I'm now looking out for a small cheap color ink-jet (since they do color better than laser). that we can have as a 2nd printer. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I like my wireless HP inkjet. There's a print option for fast, black & white only that I use a lot for school stuff--it really prints fast. And it's a copier and scanner too. I use the copier a lot and the scanner from time to time. It does go through ink, but I've been happy with the functionality it provides.
