Color laser printers are very expensive and still don’t achieve the same picture quality as an inkjet printer. And I have read once that dust from laser printers might cause cancer but not sure how much there really is to that.

Color lasers are about $300 dollars, do better quality, and have 10x the output per cartridge on a bad day. And they don’t dry rot when left without printing for extended periods. Replace the ink on an inkjet more than twice, and a laser is already a better deal.

  If you want to print pictures to hang on your wall, ink printers print much better color quality.
  
  If you want flat graphics to print on a document, laser is better.
  
  Just depends on what your use case is.

No they’re not, and the quality is better. Quit lying.

  Huh? No, I am not. Find me an inexpensive laser printer that does color at the same level of quality as a basic inkjet printer.

Not just that, but it’s impossible to find a colour laser that’ll do 11x17 and duplex. I think my only option is a small office printer lease.
