I do various bits of decal, logo and vinyl printing with laser along with
the odd photo. It's cheaper than inkjet per copy, its more reliable (on
the whole) and the results are waterproof (big deal with decals).

However the toner process means you get some dithering visible close up -
so its not so good for small detail work or photos IMHO, but for things
like business graphics or if you want the output to be the same colour as
the input its a lot easier. I find a lot of inkjet printers are bit too
creative with their colour choices.
