"I don‘t understand why people keep buying these inkjet scam printers. It‘s been like this for almost 2 decades."

Genuinely interested to know your thoughts on the danger of toner particles - either during normal operation or potential leaks/spills in changing cartridges.

We wanted out of the inkjet scam and I initially leaned towards a solid laser printer but then decided I didn't want to worry about toner in the air or potential toner spills.

I got the b&w brother printer (inkjet) that everyone loves and we've been perfectly happy with it...

Not the same person but I'm not aware of any health risks with laser toner
