Do you think buying a laser printer is good for house usuage where it is not used much often? I have had problems with my old printer and i was weighing my optikns so i deceided to give a thought to laser printers. What do you think can justify the cost of a colored laser printer?

not unless you also do book publishing, typesetting, offline flyer ads, etc, it's advisable to buy laser printer but nowadays printers have high dpi's than before the old printers so my vote is to buy a colored printer so you can print colors for it. like colored call cards

I always used to have problems with inkjet printers - I swaer they hated me - but ever since I bought a HP laserjet I've never had a problem.

Also, if you find yourself printing out documents, even just periodically, I'd say laserjets are going to be easier to use than an inkjet.

You can get laser printers pretty cheap these days - but the colour ones can still cost a bit.

Depends on what you're planning to use it for, and what you'll actually need.
