If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient printer to take on large volumes of work, laser printers are a great option. These devices—which are available in monochrome and color—allow you to quickly print marketing materials, business documents, photographs, and other designs with boardroom-quality results.
But how does a laser printer differ from a traditional ink-jet one? Ink-jet printers scatter small droplets of ink directly on the paper to create a final result. Laser printers, on the other hand, read the electronic data on a computer and use bright light beams to send the data to its drum. The printer then uses static electricity to make the ink particles stick to the drum before fusing the ink into the paper with its hot rollers. This process allows laser printers to print documents faster than... a traditional ink-jet printer—they can print as many as 20 pages a minute, while ink-jet printers typically only produce 6 pages per minute. For that reason alone, many businesses that produce large volumes of printed materials prefer to use laser printers. Laser light also makes it easier for laser printers to depict details and curves, making them superior to ink-jet printers when it comes to printing photographs or jobs that require greater detail.
