Not all print cartridges are the same. Inkjet print cartridges and laser toner cartridges differ quite substantially both in price and quality. If you are contemplating whether to purchase an inkjet printer or a laser printer, the information on print cartridges in this article may help you.

The first most obvious difference between inkjet print cartridges and laser toner cartridges is that inkjet cartridges are used in inkjet printers and laser toner cartridges are used in laser printers.

Inkjet print cartridges use a liquid ink which can smudge. Printer companies are striving to improve on this; however it is the laser printer that wins hands down. Laser toner cartridges contain a powdered ink. This generally means that your prints will be smudge free.

Another major difference is the cost of the print cartridges. Although it may appear that laser toner cartridges are quite expensive they are actually cheaper in the long run when you consider the cost per page. Laser toner printers are generally cheaper with lower printing cost per page.

If deciding whether to purchase a laser printer or inkjet printer then consider the information relating to print cartridges discussed above but also take into account the following:

  • the price difference between an inkjet printer and a laser printer
  • whether you are going to be printing primarily in black & white or in colour – laser colour printers are still more expensive than inkjet printers
  • the volume of prints and the speed you need them printed – laser printers generally print faster than inkjet printers
