Color lasers are about $300 dollars, do better quality, and have 10x the output per cartridge on a bad day. And they don't dry rot when left without printing for extended periods. Replace the ink on an inkjet more than twice, and a laser is already a better deal.
If you want to print pictures to hang on your wall, ink printers print much better color quality.
If you want flat graphics to print on a document, laser is better.
Just depends on what your use case is.
