Building a new desk and I'll have so much more room. Figure it's time to get my own printer

Looking for something cheap, don't need a $500 printer

Maybe $100 or less?

Anyone have any recommendations?

Might be a dumb question

what is the main difference between laser and inkjet? I know literally nothing about printers.

For the better printers, laser is more expensive up front. Laser prints faster too. Inkjet is more versatile (can print on practically anything)
Found that laser printer toner cartridges tend to last longer than inkjet ink cartridges.

Also laser is better for non colour, inkjet is better for colour.

Ink jets dry out after time once opened, ink can be expensive based on cartridge types.
Other uses dry ink that lasts much longer and is cheaper in the long run usually.

I went with low end work horse style just monochrome.
