laser printers vs. inkjet printers
May. 1st, 2011 06:46 pmI know I've talked to some of you about this before, but I can't recall specifics.
I need a printer for business things, eventually. Black-and-white will suit me fine. I am considering a basic model Brother printer-copier-fax thing.
I could make my own business cards and tags, print shipping labels, copy original black-and-white art for thankyou notes, print invoices, print out jewelry care instructions (brass and copper have special cleaning methods if you want to keep them bright). Suddenly my jewelry business looks 100% more professional.
What I really want to know is:
How long does laser printer ink LAST???
Something I read said it's composed of powder, which is fused in the printing process. That makes me think it doesn't dry or clog. But I could be wrong.
My main complaint about inkjets is that the stupid liquid ink dries up/gets clogged/goes USELESS after X number of months. I might not need to print for a certain amount of time. Am I going to have the same problem with a laser printer?
