Printers Need Help Chosing One

[mr moo]

So i'm looking at getting a new printer. which one is better a laser or inkjet. which would do better quality for photos etc

Laser is obviously better, however pretty expensive for higher quality/yeild/colour/speed.

Ink jet is of course a cheaper option, but you can still get some pretty good quality prints out of them, just you have to change or refill cartrdiges more often and are sometimes a little more costly.

It really depends on your budget and what sort/style of printing you are doing and the amount of printing you are going to be doing with the printer.

Edit: FYI - you probably should have posted this thead in: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/PC...ussion-f16.html

didn't know that section was there.

not really going for the professional thing just be for home use. don't really have a budget either

cheers mate

Home use I would recommend just going with inkjet as laser isn't really worth it unless you do a tonne of printing or need the quality.

Plus, you can normally buy refill kits where you can refill the inks that save you about 30%-50% by reusing the cartridges.

Np, I work in IT, so this is part of my day job.

Samsung ML-1640 mono laser printer for about $70, too easy

I know a few people using them (incl myself) no problems, and cheap!
