If you need high-quality printing in a snap, a laser printer can produce clean, sharp prints in as little as a few seconds. But, after three weeks of testing each device, not all laser printers have the same print quality and reliability. My pick for the best laser printer overall, the Canon Color ImageClass MF656CDW, can output 21 pages per minute (ppm) in color or black and white, which can make short work of flyers, handouts or any other printing task.
