Laser printer -- mono or color?

2009-04-22 by Steve

Hi all,

I have an ink jet printer which is old and sometimes works and often 
does not. It needs to be replaced. Its successor will be used in my home 
office (business) as well as for making PCB's (hobby).

With respect to the PCB application, are there occasions when color 
printing would be useful or perhaps necessary? I realize that the toner 
transfer method needs only black on white and that a monocolor printer 
would suffice for that activity, but do you find times when color 
printing of other whatever makes life easier? Just looking for some 
thoughts from those of you with experience I have not yet acquired.

I ask from the perspective that while my home office printing needs are 
predominantly monocolor, color printing would be useful once in a while. 
If the same is true for making PCB's, I will consider spending the extra 
dollars for a color laser printer.

Thoughts or advice?
