What is the difference among a dot matrix ink jet and a laser printer?

Laser printer photo paper vs. inkjet photo paper.

Laser printer photo paper and inkjet photo paper are two very different products. Laser printer technology is different from inkjet technology; it requires a paper able to withstand the high heat that literally melts the ink onto the paper. Regular inkjet photo paper melts in laser printers, as the finish is not designed to endure the high heat process of laser photo printing. Because of the different technologies involved, more manufacturers offer inkjet photo paper and it tends to be less expensive than laser printer photo paper.
