Laser printers

A laser printer suits people who mainly print text, often or only now and then, since toner does not dry out. The first choice is between a mono model, simple and economical, and a colour model, bulkier and costlier to run. The price and yield of toner cartridges make up most of the cost. Advertised resolution matters little, and colour laser is no substitute for proper photo printing.
