A laser printer is a type of printer that uses a laser beam to produce high-quality text and images on paper. It works by creating an electrostatic image of the document on a rotating drum, which then attracts toner (a fine powder) that is fused onto the paper using heat. This process allows for fast printing speeds and sharp, clear results, making laser printers popular for both home and office use. Unlike inkjet printers, which use liquid ink, laser printers are generally more efficient for high-volume printing. They often have lower cost-per-page rates and can handle larger print jobs without needing frequent ink replacements. This makes them a reliable choice for businesses that require consistent and professional-quality documents.
