I am fed up with my inkjet printed photos fading away after some time
so I want to change to a colour laser printer. Does anybody knows a bi
about these?
Thank you

From side by side comparisons I would say wait. Also Google Henry
Wilhelm, he has done tests on print longevity of major printer brands
and the results are surprising.

printer using pigment inks)
the site features pdf files of HW's articles and so on, useful info but
the organization is a bit unstructured.

I have an HP color Laser printer. It does a nice job of making prints. I
would say that the appearence is similar to that of a color photo in the
Sunday newspaper magazine section. I don't consider it to be photo-quality,
but for snapshots it's reasonable.
As for fading/permanence, I can't say. But it's nice that the colors don't
run when the paper gets wet. Also, with a good quality paper, it was a
similar look to a matte or luster surface photo.
