Are laser printers cheaper to run than inkjets? I have absolutely no idea on printers. All I really know about these two different types is that the laser printers are a lot faster. I heard something about how laser printers run on "toners" or something. Would these be cheaper to replace than the ink cartridges for an inkjet? I pay a fortune for ink at the moment, and would consider buying a laser printer if it would be cheaper. Please explain :-) Thanks for your help
What paper is the best/safest for laser printers (not color)? I purchased the Brother 2040 B/W laser printer. I have some black and white photographs and wanted to print them out with the laser printer. However, I've heard that I can't use gloss paper because the heat will melt the coating and ruin the printer. Is there high quality photo paper for laser printers? Does it make a difference if the paper is for color laser printers as opposed to black and white? Factors such as weight, iso brightness, gloss, matte...it is all becoming very confusing with such a wide selection. The photos are pretty sharp and I want to use the highest possible quality paper that is the safest to use on the laser printer. I would like to get the most professional looking results possible with a laser printer. However, finding that paper is proving rather daunting! Thanks for all your help!

Are laser printers actually cheaper to run than refillable inkjet? I refill my colour and black cartridge for very little because I buy the ink online and do it myself. I cannot do this with toner in a laser printer. The toner for a Samsung colour laser wireless printer is £30. What are you experiences? How many pages does a laser printer generally do before it needs more toner? I only print letters, essays, projects etc. with colour diagrams/pictures so I am not interested in photograph quality etc.

Are there any color laser printers that also print photos and CD's? I'm looking for a color laser printer than can also print high-quality photos on glossy photo paper, as well as print on CD's and DVD's using the type with a white matte side that's designed for printing on. I used to have an Epson ink-jet printer that did all that, but the ink is so expensive and is not cost-effective for general document printing. I'd rather have laser.

Do you think Brother laser printers make fewer carcinogenic emissions than those tested in a recent study? A recent Australian study showed that some HP laserjet printers, though not all models, emit high levels of carcinogenic particles, worse than cigarettes - and also Toshiba and other makes. I suppose Brother laser printers have a different toner technology because they have replaceable drums as well as cartridges, so perhaps they are safer to be around than those that tested high. Is there any contributor with technical knowledge to comment on that? (Particularly Brother HL-1450, because I'm sitting right next to one!) Other printers in the test included Canon and Ricoh. HPLaserjet 4050 series were mentioned as having no such emissions, although the 4250 do.
Can laser printers print good quality photos? I'm thinking about investing in a color laser printer and seeing if laser printers can print good photos. I have an Epson RX500 and I've printed photos on it, but the quality wasn't so great. Also is it worth it to get a laser printer?
Are laser printers dangerous for your health? I recently heard that office laser printers can emit toxic fumes and particles that can cause cancer and respiratory illnesses. This made me concerned because I sit right next to one (a Ricoh Aficio SP 5100 N model). How can I find out if this printer is among the most dangerous ones (the high emitters)?
Where can I find micro print pictures to test new laser printers? I think the best thing to use would be something like several circles inside themselves closely spaced together. It would look something like this except much much smaller. http://www.cs.duke.edu/courses/spring03/cps296.1/homework/1/circles.gif Any other pictures in high resolution I can test on a printer is welcome as well. It's a color laser printer I'm testing so a bit of color in the picture wouldn't hurt either. Thanks everyone. I guess the better word to use would be micro print. Pictures with micro print. Doh, I did say that, in the title :-P
Cand you tell me more about the standard paper used in laser printers? Hi all, I wonder what is the best paper for a laser printer. Cotton paper? I am asking because today I put newsprint in my new laser printer and it was jammed in the middle...so I had to open the entire printer to get the sheet back.I heard that 99% of the paper on the market is made from carbon which is not that good. I probably need cotton or something carbonless. Thanks alot!

are there dangerous toxins emitted from laser printers? i have a laser printer in my room (its a brother hl 2270 DW). I just got it and I use it around once a week, and at times, i print over 500 pages of documents. The printer itself is very efficient, but it emits a lot of air that smells like burnt rubber. Is there a hazard to having the printer in my room? Are these toxins deadly? How should i deal with this problem?

Does Non-Petroleum based toner make laser printers safer/healthier? There was a report that came out of Queensland Australia that examined the particle emissions of laser printers having the same health effects as smoking due to their ink. I was wondering if the ink is instead soy/vegetable and/or water based would it negate the emissions all together, or is there some other chemicals involved that I do not know about?
Why are people not adopting Color Laser printers? I am considering to buy a color laser printer. Despite prices for color laser printers have fallen, I think not many people are buying them. I would like to find out why. I wonder what could be drivers who have prevented them and conversely compelling drivers that would tip them over to buy. I was told that the cost per page to print a mono copy on a laser color printer is same or close to when compared to a laser mono printer. What's more you can have the flexibility to print color if I want to anytime too. I wonder if this is true. Oh yes, what brands/models would be a good short list and if I have to choose one brand/model, which should stand out clearly from the rest? Thanks..
Invitation Envelopes and Laser printers ? I am using a laser printer to print out envelopes for our wedding invitations. I would like to send the envelopes through the printer twice (to have the return address on the back top flap) but I heard that it's not good to put envelopes through laser printers twice. I'm guessing something with the glue? Anyone have any experience with this and know if it will be fine if I do it? I really don't think it will do anything, but I don't want to ruin the envelopes. Thanks!

i hear there is a health risk to laser printers is it true? Laser printers could pose the same health risk as passive smoking, 27% emitted hazardous levels of particles, which are so fine they are not readily filtered by the lungs, but the tests took no account of variables such as printer age or cartridge type that could affect emission levels
What color laser printer offers the highest resolution for under $500? I've recently been employed by a company that for part of the job - requires me to reproduce art work which consists mainly of sketch's with the occasional color additive. I know a decent amount when it comes to printers; I know a high resolution laser printer capable of micro printing and color replication is what I'm looking for. My budget for this printer is around $500. I've looked around at Circuit City, Best Buy, and CompUSA and don't see any laser printers that offer more than a 600x600 dpi print. Could anyone recommend me either a specific printer to think about, or some other company that offers better?
What is the performance level of a BROTHER laser printer ? I am still looking for a good laser printer. A friend suggested a BROTHER laser printer selling for around 4,000 pesos.

I know that there are better models but those printers sells for 10,000+ pesos ( beyond my budget ) Thank you.
