color inkjet ink vs. color laser printer toner?
My wife & I have a Canon i860 color inkjet printer. We use it only
about once every 3 months. Each time one or more of the cartridges are shown as low or dried out & we have to replace many of the ink cartridges, even though they have not been used fully. Would this expense & ink replacement time be lessened if we trashed the inkjet & purchased a color laser printer? It is said that the toner is powder that does not dry out. But are there other problems using color laser printers? Is the consumable expense about the same, more, or less for laser color vs. inkjet color. All opinions welcomed! Aaron |

Why not print out a simple page with colour every week or so, to stop the inks drying out? That`d be the cheapest solution :-) |

color inkjet ink vs. color laser printer toner?
"Nik" wrote in message ups.com Aaron, In my opinion, a laser printer is a solution. My opinion is based purely on my experience with ink printers. The only plus i can give to inkjets is that they produce better photos. But if you print rarely, be sure the printer's printhead will get clogged! Nowadays you can find a good color laser printer making good photo prints (but they are very very expensive). So, if you do not need to print photos, my piece of advice is to get a laserjet... I'd go along with that. Although I've had excellent results printing full page photos on A4 paper with my HP Colour Laserjet 2605dn (an excellent printer which I heartily recommend, BTW). Ivor |

Still, count how much a full photo page on A4 paper costs you on your HP Colour Laserjet 2605dn Regards, Nik | www.rechargeast.blogspot.com |

Would this expense & ink replacement time be lessened if we trashed
the inkjet & purchased a color laser printer? I wouldn't trash that printer. I have a question, are you using OEM ink." I have a canon printer and when I use OEM ink, it doesn't dry as fast. However, if you can find a color laser printer for cheap, then get it. I've seen them advertise on slickdeals.net for $100.00 at times after rebate. The size of the laser printer will be bigger.
