Re: Favorite Lilypond-Score Printer?

[Arlin]

Laser vs. inkjet:

Laser printers are more expensive to buy but less expensive to use. 

Laser printers make cleaner text, and inkjet printers do better graphics.
(Lilypond symbols are treated as text.)

Laser output is more water-resistant then inkjet.

Laser toner cartridges are expensive but last a long time.

Most inkjet printers print in color, while basic laser printers are black
only.

Large format laser printers (for tabloid-size paper) tend to be large and
heavy.

Some of the great workhorse laser printers of the past may be available used
at reasonable prices, but beware shipping cost.

Card stock is more prone to jamming than paper, particularly so in an older
printer.

The HP 5000 series are very good printers that have been around for a long
time, so many are available used.  Although I'm not certain of this, I
believe the rollers are user-changeable.  Worn-out rollers cause jams.  If
they have to be changed by a technician that gets expensive.

If you're just printing for your personal use and not producing significant
quantity, go inkjet, but if you're selling or generating lots of music, go
laser.

I hope that helps.
