A little bit about Laser Printers first…

A laser printer focuses light and/or a beam to transfer images and text onto paper. Most of these printers print in monochrome. Laser printers use the laser beam which draws the document. This is then sent to the printer on a selenium-coated drum using its electrical charges. You do not necessarily need Ink for laser printers but it will most likely use toner cartridges and a heated fuser. The toner cartridge sticks to the paper and melts onto the paper using a hot fusing wire. This is through an electrical charge. The fuser heats at 400 degrees Fahrenheit

Here are the Facts!

In 1985, IBM was the first brand to create the first laser printer, the IBM 3800.180 sheets of paper were printed per minute.

Most parts of a laser printer are recyclable and each printer represents approx. one gallon of oil.

The Inkjet printer used to be much cheaper than the laser printer. However, the cost of a toner cartridge and paper was very cheap.

Laser printers use up 3 times more energy than a desktop printer. Meanwhile the idle desktop printer, which will use 5 times more energy.

In 2009, the fastest colour Laser Printer was designed for office use. It was able to print 37 double-sided sheets per minute and could print up to 48 single sided sheets per minute.

Toner is made up of microscopic plastic spheres that are specifically tuned to the electromagnetic charges of the printer it is made for.
