Unused inkjet printers dry up. Turning it on regularly can help clean the heads and waste a little bit of ink to keep everything working, but whatever brand of inkjet cartridges you buy, you’ll run into this problem. There are ways to clean cartridges, but if you don’t print enough going laser printer is the only solution.
Make sure you actually listen to the manual and put those in a well-ventilated room, though. Those things spew so much heavy metals and other toxic compounds that I’m surprised there hasn’t been a massive health and safety law about just laser printers.

And it uses dry toner, do it’ll never clog because you didn’t use it!

Exactly. We’ve had our color laser for about 14 years, and it still runs on the original toner cartridges!
