If you need prints that can get wet without becoming unreadable, you need a laser printer.

Toner doesn’t smear and run when it gets wet.

Laser printers don’t waste toner in the same way, and because they don’t gunk up like inkjets, they may last longer before needing to be replaced. That waste isn’t reflected in the estimates manufacturers provide for how many pages you can get out of a tank. Some inkjets have a lower cost per page than home laser printers, but they also waste more ink on cleaning.

They may be more economical to run in the long term.

The best inkjets do a good job, but even a mediocre laser printer will do a better job delivering crisp results, especially when it comes to fine lines and small font sizes. Our laser picks can pump out as many as 27 pages per minute the fastest inkjets we’ve tested maxed out at 13 pages per minute. If you have a home office or run a home business, you may be more conscious of printer speed than those who don’t. Laser toner cartridges don’t have to be replaced as often as ink tanks, and they won’t clog-as inkjet print heads sometimes do-if you go weeks or months between print jobs. Laser printers are less frustrating to maintain.I do not know enough to state as fact, but there are times after a cartrige change where it can go Dry after printing a few full print pages, and still require a head cleaning to get the ink back down. It might not be fully "primed" anyway, depending on how it ran out. Other notes: Even if a nozzel check works, or a test page works, there is no guarentee that the thing will print 10 full color pages after that. Always make sure you park your heads/cartrige (turn off) on the printer before pulling the power on it. I feel it is better to keep your inkjet printer printing a few pages a week, instead of drying out, because of the head cleaning taking so much ink. Notes: Using CIS or cheap inks does have a tendancy to clog more, and I would not recommend them for minor use (pita it is). A nozzel check uses a very very small ammount of ink, and can represent all aspects of operation quickly. If your printer uses a nozzel check it would be better than a test page, because it uses every jet in the thing to print. If you have spare paper that you have used already, but would throw out, you could print a test page, or a nozzel check, or anything else you want, without fear that it will drain your carts, as much as a head cleaning would.

The ammount of ink used for a head cleaning, or multiple head cleanings does not even compare to printing an entire page of a colorful print. I use a CIS (continuous ink system) for more than one epson printers, and I can tell you for sure, it is the "Head Cleaning" itself that uses the most ammount of ink by far.
