Used to be always true, however laser printers produce better text output
than
most ink printers at a much lower cost per page and the quality of laser
colour
posters is terrific today. You need to look at the latest lasers to get an
idea. The one thing that is correct is that laser printers still do not
produce
photo quality but their prints will last much longer than any ink print can.
In other words, horses for courses is it not?

"We Shall Over Comb" did not write about color printing, but about black
xl cartridges and avery labels.

Concerning colors, laser might be better for high volume as well as very
little volume (where ink dries out), but color quality for only a few
prints can be achieved with ink at a much higher total cost than for
laser printers, if you actually want photo quality.

I missed the xl Cartridge bit, in that case he is completely wrong about
quality, modern cheap lasers print better quality text, last longer and are
cheaper to run.

Very few domestic users want photo quality although they have convinced
themselves that they do. A cheap dye sub printer produces very good (near
photo) quality with extremely good life. They are particularly useful if you
only want small prints (say up to postcard size).
