Uses a laser beam that is focused on a rotating mirror, which deflects the light through a focusing lens. The printer uses a high-powered, single concentrated light source that is directed onto a photosensitive material located on a drum. Dots are created and placed in succession as the light beam scans the rotating drum on a horizontal path.
Laser printing is commonly used to create personalized letters or forms, often with variable data inserted into specific areas of the document. The letters or forms can be set up so that when folded, the name and address show through a window envelope. Alternatively, a matching closed-face envelope can be produced. Back
Also known as electrophotographic printing, a process where light, generated from either a laser or diode, creates a static charge on a photographically-sensitive cylinder. The charged cylinder attracts toner, which is subsequently transferred to a printable surface, creating an image.
Similar to a photocopy machine, except a laser beam is used to 'etch' an image onto a photoelectric drum.
Uses a combination of toner and laser heat to fix images to paper.
The main method of imprinting onto metallic surfaces. Your logo/artwork is digitized and a high intensity laser beam carves the design on the surface of the item. This imprinting method is permanent and highly recommended over screen-printing on metal surfaces, since screen printed metallic items will eventually wear and fade.
The laser is a light source utilized within the electrophotographic process that selectively discharges the drum thereby forming the latent image. Toner is attached to the charged surface of the drum and then applied, through heat and pressure, to the paper.
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Electrophotographic technology used in many industries for its speed, quality, and precision.
A text formatting term: Printers which use a toner based laser system for printing. Laser printers use a laser to scan an image onto a photosensitive drum or belt and then transfer the image to the paper. Some typesetters also use laser technology in conjunction with their photochemical processing, but these are usually referred to as phototypesetters rather than as laser printers. See also xerographic printing engine.
(see Heat Transfer Printing)
Similar to a photocopy machine, the laser printer uses a laser beam, toner and fuser to "etch" the image onto a photoelectric drum.
Xerographic printing where a modulated laser ray is projected on to a photoconductive cylinder or belt by a rotating mirror. The laser serves to produce the electrostatic latent image, which is developed with toners.
Applying variable data onto a page, using laser print technology.
An electronic method of printing which utilises a laser beam to place images onto a substrate.
Laser printing is a process that produces very high quality text and graphics, both monochrome and color, at fast speeds. A laser is used to scan an image onto a metal drum, thus charging the drum electrostatically. Powdered ink is then attracted to the charge and transferred to paper using heat and pressure. This process is used in laser printers, photocopiers and fax machines.
A non-impact electrophotographic process utilizing a laser beam to scan the surface of the drum creating a latent image which attracts toner. The toner is then transfer fused into the print surface.
Mostly used in office equipment, laser printing uses toner adhesion in a heat process to apply "ink" to the sheet. Dry toner is attracted to the charged area and is fused to paper with heat and/or pressure. Symbol in the paper industry designating 1,000. Usually used to designate 1,000 sheets or two reams of fine paper.
A method of printing which utilises a laser beam to put images onto a substrate. Usually the surface of the substrate must have specific characteristics to accept laser printing. Common desk-top laser printers actually transfer the image to a toner roller which then fuses the toner to the paper using heat and/or a laser beam. Check manuals from machines to see if they are true lasers before producing labels. Most machines have paper specifications in their manuals, and also refer to Labelstock.
