Laser printers have traditionally been used for business applications because they offer higher speeds and crisper print. They tend to be more expensive than inkjet printers, although prices have dropped considerably -- you can buy a home monochrome laser printer starting at about $100. There are color laser printers as well, but they are priced above the budget of most home and small business users
More sophisticated (and costly) laser printers can include some fancy and useful add-ons, such as the ability to add more paper drawers, or to sort your documents.
