Contrast that with the cost of printing an 8x10 photo on a color laser printer. The Konica Minolta DL2430 works out to be about half as much per color photo as an inkjet, at 45¢ per page. Laser printers are also faster than inkjets. They really shine when it comes to black-and-white printing. The fastest inkjet printer can crank out 10 pages per minute in low-quality mode. Compare that to the DL2430 which doubles that with a rated speed of 20ppm, and at 1200 x 600dpi resolution to boot. Black-and-white printing with the DL2430 is a bit cheaper too, with a 3¢ per page cost (the inkjets range from 3.0¢ to 7.5¢, with most of them in the 4.5-6.0¢ range)..
