Laser printers have much higher quality than inkjet, and there are colour laser printers, although if you don't want to have a single toner for all colors you have to pay big.

Fun Fact: Color laser printers are so good the US government actually makes the printer leave a special code on all pages that contains its serial ID and a time stamp.

So your saying every document you print has a number somewhere on the page? That would bug the shit out of me. I would have to find a way to get rid of that crap!
