f price is an issue (not just the purchase price but the consumables as well - about the cheapest you can make an 8x10 dye sub print is $1.82), inkjets work well

Finally, someone addresses the issue of price.

Inkjet printers are *fantastically* expensive to run compared to laser printers, so much so that the price you pay for the printer itself is completely irrelevant, assuming that you are going to print in any reasonable volume.

I have a color laser printer at work that costs me about 11 cents a page for a 5% coverage full-color 8x10 print. A comparable inkjet print would be about 55 cents (the last time I looked, which admittedly is some time ago).

I can buy a decent ink-jet printer for $300. I can buy my color laser printer for about $1300. The $1300 printer is less expensive at the end of the year if I print more than 2300 pages, and every year after that I save $1000 a year.

I have yet to see an ink-jet print which matches the color quality of my laser printer in terms of brightness and saturation.
