Recently got a the Brother L2460DW and that thing was not expensive yet works so well. I got rid of a Canon Inkjet that no longer has supported print drivers. The Canon did fine with third party ink but it was from like 2009 and lasted to 2026 so I figured it did its duty with honor.
Photo printing is about the only thing I say I haven’t seen laser do, but the people in my family that appreciated printed photos over screens we would just order them printed to their local Walgreens instead of trying to mail them prints anyway. Don’t do that anymore either as they passed away some years back.
Laser does well for photos, but you gotta remember to get laser specific photo paper. The fuser can get hot enough to damage the gloss, or even melt it and smear it around in the printer.
Other than that, crisp photos, no bleed from the ink spread. Holds up well to light and moisture too.

Nice, that one seems really similar. How do you like Laser compared to Inkjet?
Better in almost every single respect.
