  • inkjet, laser jet, and ink tank are these three kinds of printers that are used, and all have some advantages and disadvantages, first let us know some introduction to the laser jet, inkjet, and ink tank.

    Inkjet printer- 

    This is a low-cost all-in-one printer which is also known as a desk printer. it is a two-cartridge-based (one black, one RGB) color printer that is suitable for small offices where few pages are required to print.

    It comes to under 3000 thousand to 8000 thousand rupees which is less than an ink tank and laser jet but in the future, running inkjet seems to be costly because the cost of printing one page is much higher than an ink tank. both cartridges are connected to its head and to refill for a cost of 1600-2000 rupees, it can print 450 black and 150 color pages.

    so we can say it may be cheaper in buy but costly  in running almost 6 rupees/page so no one recommended buying this

     

    Ink Tank Printer: 

    this is also an all-in-one color printer that is replacing inkjet in the market but here instead of a cartridge, a four-color  (cyan, magenta, yellow,  and black) based ink tank is connected to the printing nozzle with the tube. ink tank is located side of the printer, which is easy to refill it by just opening the color hatch.

    price of an ink tank printer starts from 10,000 rupees.  a good ink tank printer like Canon ink tank 310 or Epson EcoTank L3211 is available for 13,000 rupees. 

     

     

    Laserjet Printer: 

     it is a toner cartridge-based black & white printer which is widely used in offices and academic institutions. in laserjet, a powder-filled toner cartridge is used for printing the page. the laser beam is used for creates the image of the document on the light-sensitive material-coated drum that's why we call this printer a laserjet. in one refill cost of 300 rupees around 5,000 to 6,0000 pages can print, so if we are looking for the cost of printing one page ie 6 paisa/page which is very very less than inkjet and ink tank.

     

    So, these are fundamental detail about inkjet ink tank and laser jet lets know the differences
