Hey there, colouring enthusiasts and members of the Blueberry Co Colouring Club! 🎨
Today, we’re diving into the age-old debate of home laser printers vs. home inkjet printers. We’ll sprinkle some humour on this ink-tastic journey while keeping you informed about why a laser printer might just be your colouring BFF!
Ink Wars: Laser vs. Inkjet 💥
Picture this: You’re about to print out the latest intricate coloring sheet from the Colouring Club, and you’ve got two trusty warriors at your service – Laser and Inkjet.
🖨️ Round 1: Ink Quality
In the left corner, wearing the laser-tight suit, we have the Laser Printer. This champ uses toner, which is like the Hulk of ink. It’s not water-based, so it won’t run when you unleash your inner Picasso with watercolours or water based markers.
And in the right corner, we have the Inkjet Printer, with its water-based ink that might decide to do the Macarena when faced with anything water based. Oops! On the plus side, if you love colouring with alcohol based inks (eg. Copics or sharpies) you may get away with minimal smudging.
🥊 Round 2: Price Tag
Let’s talk dough. Laser printers often come with a slightly higher upfront cost compared to their inkjet pals. But here’s the plot twist: Laser toner cartridges can go the distance, printing more pages than inkjet cartridges. So, over time, you’ll save those precious pennies.
💰 Round 3: Cost Per Print
Now, let’s calculate the cost of colouring up a storm. Laser printers tend to have a lower cost per page, thanks to their efficient toner usage. Inkjet printers, on the other hand, might gulp down ink like its candy at a kids’ party.
So, with laser, you can print more colouring sheets without worrying about refilling your ink reservoir faster than you can say “Blueberry!”
🎉 Round 4: The Winner
And the winner by a toner-powered knockout is… drumroll… the Laser Printer! 🏆
Laser printers are like the seasoned artists of the printing world, ready to bring your colouring pages to life without the fear of smudges or watercolour disasters. They might have a bit of a sassy price tag, but they’re in it for the long haul, making them your trusty colouring companions.
**Hot Tip** Grab a B/W only laser printer! That’s the most cost effective way to get your print at home colouring sheets printed just the way you link them.
