The main difference between these two types is a method of color application on paper. In particular, an inkjet spreads inks over the paper surface through the tiny droplets that come from the cartridge. Usually, the ink tends to smudge right after the cycle, so the user should wait a minute to let liquid pigments dry. However, it does provide a distinguishing result of color rendering.
The laser device has another way of application: it spreads colored powder that is then baked. As a result, the project has fewer errors and remains unchanged. This advantage is important for producing a large number of printings, and it’s perfect for grayscale media.
