Setting these thoughts aside, users will be able to realize the benefits of owning a laser printer at home or in the office. Here are 4 reasons why users ought to get a laser printer.

Laser printers are inexpensive. The price tag of laser printers has significantly dropped in the last 3 years due to the number of competitors and partly with the economic recession. Today, price tags range from $100 to $800. The least expensive are single function, monochrome printers while the more pricey ones are usually colored, multifunction (printer, scanner, copier, and fax) or all in ones.

Laser printed documents are clear and crisp. Expect exceptional print quality whenever a laser printer is used since its technology is like no other. Texts, pictures, and diagrams put on paper appears mirror like when compared with the ones on the monitor.

Printing cost is lower. Instead of ink, a fine powder composition called toner is used to form texts and images on paper. And considering the rated yield per toner cartridge, more pages can be  printed from a single cartridge. Let’s take the Lexmark C750 black cartridge that retails at $270 for its yield of 15,000 pages at 5% coverage.At this rate, printing cost per page or CPP is at 0.018 cents ($270 divided by 15,000 pages). This is a much lower CPP than when an inkjet is used.

Toner cartridges can be refilled. Printer manufacturers and sellers always advise users to purchase new replacement consumables when the cartridge is emptied tosustain printing operations. But there is really no need to rush and throw away an empty cartridge, as this can be recycled.

Simply purchase a compatible toner refill kit, follow the refill instructions, dump the cartridge back to the printer, and continue with the print jobs. With the abovementioned cartridge, a toner refill kit for the Lexmark C750 cartridge can be obtained for less than $60. Moreover, users can expect OEM quality prints and yield from the refilled cartridge. 

It is true that greater benefits can be achieved with a laser printer. Upon purchasing alone, users will not be burdened with its cost, as it is inexpensive nowadays. When in use, commendable results can be achieved coupled with a lower printing cost.
