Sorry for the reply, but this shouldn't go unchallenged. Laser quality also depends on the quality of paper. Try printing on rough, (faux) handmade paper. A Lexmark / HP inkjet would give a better output (forget about the EPSON paper optimized Epson inkjets), quite simply because they use liquid ink. Toner (dry ink) would have difficulty fusing on an uneven surface. For making calling cards, an inkjet is the better choice.
