What is the difference between laserjet and deskjet printer?

Public Comments

1. In essence, an inkjet computer "rolls" the ink onto the paper (like an old style printing press) but a laserjet "burns" the ink onto the paper. The easiest difference is that if you were to drop water onto the paper, the inkjet ink would run and the laserjet wouldn't.
2. Laser printers are capable of printing much higher-quality text and line art than deskjet printers, and they are usually good at rendering grayscale images, including photos. Laser printers are also faster than deskjet printers, and they offer lower per-page printing costs. For selecting your printer, you can visit http://dealinsecond.com/category.php/46/Printers
3. A laser printer is a common type of computer printer that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics on plain paper. Like photocopiers, laser printers employ a xerographic printing process but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of a laser beam across the printer's photoreceptor. Deskjet or Inkjet printers are a type of computer printer that operates by propelling tiny droplets of liquid ink onto paper. They are the most common type of computer printer for the general consumer due to their low cost, high quality of output, capability of printing in vivid color, and ease of use. "Deskjet" is a copyrighted brand of Hewlett Packard For more detailed information about these printers see the links
4. Quick and dirty answer: Laserjets use carbon toner bonded to paper with high heat Deskjets use ink sprayed on to paper Deskjets can produce better colors because the liquid ink blends together Laserjets are generally faster in that it requires less motion from the printers moving parts to generate an image, but the process is far more complex than an inkjet.
5. Laserjets are laser printers, using ionized powder to create images. Deskjets are ink jets which utilize a liquid ink to form an image Laserjets have a lower cost per page and are capable of doing a higher work load. Deskjets can do more intense imagining such as photographs, but have a very high cost per page.
