Reliability: Single-Pass Lasers versus Single-Pass LEDS

Hi. Which technology would offer the better reliabilty? Would one of
the approaches be superior when duplexing? Is one approach to printing
quieter than the other? Thanks for any replies.

LEDs *might* be more reliable than lasers in the long term but I doubt
there's much if any difference.

As to the rest of your points, the method of getting the image on the drum
is *only* thing different between LED and Laser printers. The rest of the
process is down the engine and could be the same or different depedant on
the manufacture. eg duplexing is a mechanical operation independant of
the laser/LED choice.
