Color & Monochrome Laser Printers

Laser printers  are known for their speed and accuracy. They are also very cost-effective. Usually they can print out about 12-18 pages per minute and up to 1000 black and white prints on one ink cartridge that runs from $50-$100. Overall cost per print comes out to be only 2-4 cents a piece. The initial cost for a black and white laser printer starts at $150, while a color laser goes from $400 and up.  If you're going to print over 6,000-8,000 pages a year, a color laser printer is worth your while.

  • Monochrome laser printers  are excellent at reproducing text and black and white images.
    • Ideal for use in an office or small business.
  • Color laser printers  are newer to the market and are still recognized as being very fast.
    • Color images aren't as good as Inkjet.
    • Great for color brochures, newsletters, leaflets, etc because it prints a lot quickly.
