They allow the user to produce low cost, quality prints. Color laser printers are good for volume output for large work groups or LANs. Color laser printers such as the HP Color LaserJet or the Tektronix Phaser have the capability of directly connecting to the network. This allows the administrator to change printer settings, check on status of print jobs or control printed output via a network node or remotely via the Internet. HP offers its JetDirect manager for directly connected color printers.
Laser printers are quieter than solid ink printers and print documents faster.
Typically, high resolution printed documents take a little time to dry, so try not to place your hands on a printed sheet as soon as it comes out of the printer. Solid ink and wax printers melt a colored solution on to the page, which at times may be scratched off or smeared. Color laser printers are tougher, since the color output is a dry toner-based product. Check for printers that provide a matte finish. If the printed documents are going to have very little handling or the user can wait a few moments to let the paper dry, the other technologies which provide bright colors can be used.
