Conclusion
Although both laser and inkjet printing achieved good results, the laser printing examples are slightly sharper with more well-defined text. While laser printing is a more desirable method, we think that most people will be happy with the results of inkjet printing as well, especially if that inkjet printer is of high quality.

Paper & Printing Suggestions
If you are going to print at home, before deciding on a specialty paper purchase, we always recommend that you review your printer specs to see what paper types and paper weights your printer will accept. Secondly, we always recommend ordering samples and testing the sheets that you’re interested in.
