laser printers
Office document producers
Laser printers are machines that produce printed documents by using a laser beam to transfer toner onto paper.
Unlike inkjet printers, which spray liquid ink, laser printers fuse powdered toner to the page with heat, producing sharp text and fast output.
They dominate office environments where volume and speed matter: We need a laser printer that can handle five hundred pages a day.
