The use of laser printer is much cheaper. If you print a lot you will spend
a lot of money for ink cartridges. In fact even if you don't print so much
you will have to change the ink cartridges, because the ink gets dry :-(.
So after 1 or two years you'll double the cost of the printer with cost
of the cartridges.
The only reason for having ink jet printer is the color (color laser
printers are extremely expensive :-(.
