Color laser or inkjet printer

I would like to take a new printer on wifi, of course I am very interested, but would like your opinion on the color laser or an inkjet one.

If I print a photo in the color laser result resembles a color copy or a true picture as an inkjet?

Re: Color laser or inkjet printer

If you speak of color lasers that cost only a few hundred rupees, you will not have the quality of a color inkjet. It's really more useful for printing graphics or diagrams.

Re: Color laser or inkjet printer

OK let's go:

Inkjet:

Advantages:

-a color for Cheap
-better than laser photo therefore use versatile, you can do everything with a color inkjet correct

Drawback:

-least a laser adapted to large volumes
-to mouth often
-over maintenance is preferred in the laser business

The only inkjet printer correctly for me: HP Officejet Pro K5400, K550 and new 8000 pro

Laser

Advantage:

-faster than inkjet
-best cost per page in black and white, color that is discussed
-less maintenance
-self toner
-well suited for most multi user

Disadvantages:

-color is expensive to purchase
-space except for black and white entry

Re: Color laser or inkjet printer

I agree with your list of pros and cons, but the HP Officejet Pro is not a good example to illustrate it, since they lack the main advantage of inkjet: quality photo prints. As against, they have certain advantages of the laser (robustness and low cost per page). The printers are unusual, interesting for certain uses but not for others, and certainly not the only inkjet printer correctly. Your HP B9180 not be correct?

I have a small black and white laser, a Canon iP3000 and an HP K5400. The three still serve me. In my opinion, the choice between laser and inkjet printers is primarily a problem of paper. For office printing, only plain paper, and in this case the laser quality is unbeatable. A Canon Pixma produces a very much lower, and an HP Officejet is between the two. For against, when the need for optimum quality (picture, graphic) justifies the use of coated paper (10 times more than usual) a Canon Pixma ridiculed at 50 euros a laser at 500 euros (and much better HP Officejet a). And I am not talking about inkjet printers for graphic arts, like the HP B9180, including the quality (with a holder adapted) goes far beyond.
