If only lasers were always better

The problem I have with lasers is if you print thicker paper, especially cardstock, the paper curls so badly you have to waste all sorts of time bending them back the other way to make them flat, and you can never get them perfectly flat. The only thing I haven't tried is ironing them.

Inkjets don't have the heat of the fuser, so they don't suffer this problem. There are some that have a pretty reasonable cost per page compared with laser, especially if you aren't printing thousands of pages a month.
