xerography
Toner-based duplication
Xerography is a dry photocopying process that uses electrostatic charges and heat to transfer toner onto paper.
The technology underlies most office copiers and laser printers.
Unlike earlier methods requiring wet chemicals, xerographic copies are produced instantly and remain stable: The xerography machine jammed again.
