Nah, laser is for quick printing in offices. A good inkjet will always offer better print quality.

I had some laser prints that came out much darker and brighter looking than inkjet BUT maybe it was because of a difference in the paper quality used. Also, I was using a cheap 3rd party brand of ink for refills on the inkjet until I heard that the cheap ink is bad for quality and the printer so I'll probably switch back to the 1st party stuff. Hopefully, damage isn't already done.

Yup, this.
Why do you think fine art prints are done using inkjet under the guise of "Giclée"? ;)
shenske:
Quality teeters between the two in my opinion. Yes, when you get to higher end printers the inkjet printers are generally nicer.
Cheap inkjets generally suck but cheap laser printers aren't too bad.
Low Budget: Laser vs. Inkjet -> Laser Wins
High Budget: Laser vs. Inkjet -> Inkjet wins

Still don't agree. Low end laser is absolute crap IMO, and low end inkjet can still a decent job with good paper in my experience. Not to mention the entry price difference. Low end color laser is a lot pricier than low end inkjet.
