If the question is about quality of print a laser jet is generally better.
Ink jets became popular because of low upfront hardware costs and what appeared to be lower consumable costs in addition to being basically disposable when compared to lasers maintenance expenses. For example a fuser drum which is a wear item was more expensive than an entire inkjet.
Modern SOHO lasers are a completely different animal than that monstrosity found in corporate environments.
My HP all in one has only a slightly larger footprint than the average inkjet, prints photo quality, all 4 toner cartridges can be had for $80 total from Amazon, they yelld 2,000 prints and each toner cartridge has an integral independent fuser drum that gets replaced when you swap in a new cartridge meaning no expensive maintenance intervals.
Inkjet can't even compare.
