Just as inkjets are predominately found in homes, laser and LED printers can be found in home offices and small, medium and large businesses.

What makes laser and LED printers so attractive to business owners? Many things, including: low cost of ownership, fast print speeds, reliable quality documents, standard networking, large monthly duty cycles, the list goes on and on. While the holiday season usually finds businesses cutting back, we’ve included several low cost laser and LED printers in our list for even the tightest of office budgets.
