By Adriana Noton

Persons producing a large number of prints daily, such as home schooling parents, find that laser printers offer a faster and less costly way to make those prints that does an ink jet printer. The initial cost of your printer as well as of the toner cartridges may be more, however prints are less expensive. Each printer manufacturer produces their own brand of toner cartridge that is to be used in their machine. Thus Lexmark printers use Lexmark printer toner. In addition, there may be several different models of toner cartridges and your machine may need a specific one.

When producing your own school curriculum it it often necessary to print volumes of papers every day. Using an ink jet printer, the ink may run out in as little as two weeks. Then it is off to the store to buy more ink to print more worksheets, research or reading materials. With the cost of ink, this is not an efficient way to produce all those prints.

In addition to cost, you will find that a laser printer is a quicker way to make the prints that are needed. Even an inexpensive laser printer is faster that a very expensive laser printer.

If cost is a concern, many of the black and white laser printers have dropped in cost so that the initial investment is about the same as a color ink jet printer. You might consider purchase of one of these printers while keeping the jet printer for color prints.

One quality of the laser printer that you will appreciate is that the heat fused toner does not run when wet like ink from an ink jet printer does. This means that you can use the coloring pages that you printed for water coloring. If cooking is a part of your curriculum, then your students can use recipes that have been printed without worry of the print running from little spills. You can even use these prints as iron on transfers for t-shirts that the students color in using permanent or laundry markers for a craft project. Printer toner may be expensive, but can print a lot.

When using toner cartridges, you can also teach environmental responsibility. Most toner manufacturers offer recycling programs. Lexmark toner cartridges may be recycled. Address labels can be printed from the Lexmark website and the cartridges shipped back to the manufacturer for recycling.

If at a later date your child begins to attend public or private school or enrolls in online courses they will appreciate the quality quick prints that are available using the printer. Once again, their water proof character makes them an excellent choice for smudge free papers that can take the moisture of a sudden downpour when waiting for bus or walking to school.

At the college level, the printer offers speed. No matter what the student is printing, there will not be a lot of waiting around for prints to shoot out of the printer. They are always high quality so that term paper will look great when turned into the professor.

Always keep spare Lexmark printer toner on hand to avoid having to interrupt your project to get more toner. - 30529
