They are usually much higher resolution than a laser printer. The colours are also much better (there are many different types you can use for different processes) than a laser and there is a wide choice of medium for printing on. They are also very reliable if used regularly. However, I think most people buy inkjets because when they need to buy a printer they see one for $30 and think that will suffice. And you are buying anything but a good inkjet at that price. I own a colour laser for personal use because I print low tens of sheets a few times a year, and experience has told me that will result in dried up ink cartridges if I had an inkjet. I’m still using the manufacturer supplied laser toners from when I bought the printer 7 years ago
