They can. I would recommend checking out the cost of cartridges before buying any laser printer -- or ink jet printer, for that matter. Also, check to see what other costs there are -- some designs (maybe all??) require periodic replacement of other parts in addition to the toner cartridges.
One other point to consider -- laser color does not do nearly as good a job on pictures (photos) as inkjet. If you are wanting to print photos, stick with the ink jet. OTOH, if you are wanting to jazz up brochures, letter head, etc., or to get color coding on schematics, a laser would be great.
