If we didn’t have #climateChange, laser printers are favorable for most non-photographic use cases. But I hate to say it: laser printers are substantially less energy efficient than #inkjet printers.
My solution: own no printer. Use a print shop or library. A lot of the energy waste is in powering on and charging up the drum. If you have to stand in line to use a #laserPrinter, that’s a good thing energy wise because high volumes is more efficient per page (but AFAIK still never as effecient as an inkjet… but perhaps reasonable enough).
You know that famous “Best #printer 2023: just buy this #Brother#LaserPrinter everyone has, it’s fine” article in #TheVerge that says, “It does not feel like the CEO of Inkjet Supply and Hostage Situations Incorporated is waiting to mug me or enable #DRM at the slightest provocation”?*
