Question I just bought epson 3000 . I am happy but ??

I have a question.

I am wondering about the quality printed by laser printer.
I believe most of people using inkjet because of cheaper.

But,
Laser printer is much faster to print and much more soft hand.
Also, the price of paper is not much expensive and the quality is acceptable.

What is the advantage of inkjet printing beside price?

Should I return my printer and buy laser printer?

I am confused.

You have to use laser paper for one. The ink jet printers, epson, use pigment ink. lasers do not.

Some people prefer the print result of the inkjet. Try and get a sample printed on a friend's laser printer (or local business) so you can compare the results (AFTER washing!) and see which you prefer.

Laser advantags:
- you can use the photo trans image clip paper.
- Faster
- uses toner, so ink will not run

disadvantages:
- dull colors
