Color inkjet printers comprise the bulk of the market simply because they can print just about anything: essays, pie charts, or glossy photos, you name it. But printed text from inkjets doesn’t always look as sharp as from a laser printer, they’re typically slower, and in some cases they cost more to keep running.
Laser printers rule the roost in offices because they can print large volumes of text quickly, reliably, and on the cheap. And besides looking sharper than text from an inkjet, laser printouts won’t run when they get wet. Color lasers have also fallen into the range of affordability for consumers recently, but the cost of replacement color laser toner can be prohibitively high, often making them a poor option for home use.
Multifunction printers (MFPs), also known as all-in-ones or AIOs, bring consumers a range of features beyond printing. All can also copy and scan, and many—especially business MFPs—add faxing to the mix.
If you’re looking for a home MFP, you probably care about photo quality, which means you want an inkjet. When looking for an MFP strictly for an office, you probably care more about text than photos, which means you’ll want a laser or laser-class printer (including LED and solid-ink printers, and even some inkjets).
