Yes - basic economics probably indicate you should get a laser,
Cheap ones can be obtained for about £/$ 50

( I even spec a laser printer for college/school student PC's, and an inkjet
scanner copier photoprinter - with the suggestion that the student should
have to pay for the ink, even if the parents are paying for the paper and a
reasonable supply of toner - don't need to encourage the budding
entrepreneur into running a printshop for their friends etc.)


Or - consider going for the 2nd tier 'office type - with a large cashback,
or discount
The discount on the second tier machines frequently reduce their price to
near that of the cheapest 'office' rated printers.

But - before buying do a costing on the volume of printing done
Printer + ink/toner + fuser/drum etc for the expected life of the printer
( in pages)
and ... that's how many years service - out of which budgets, and what
depreciation is used for IT equipment write-off
remembering that a laser printer will probably be a capital 'plant' item,
while an inkjet, and the ink will almost certainly be office consumables
