Laser printers from Canon

Laser printers might be the right choice for your printing needs if you require high-end documents or need to print in mass quantities.

What is a laser printer?

Laser printers are one of the most common types of computer printers, along with inkjet printers. Laser printers differ from inkjet printers because they employ a printing process similar to that of a photocopier. The end result is an extremely high-quality image, both for graphics and text.

Laser printers work much differently than inkjet printers. As the name implies, these printers actually use a laser beam to create an image on a drum. Wherever the laser hits the drum, an electrical charge is created. When the drum is rolled through toner, the toner “sticks” to the electrically charged areas of the drum. Heat and pressure combine to transfer the toner from the drum onto the paper.

Benefits of a laser printer

Laser printers combine speed with accuracy and are ideal for people or businesses that print a high volume of documents. The pages are produced quickly, yet the resulting image is crisp and precise.

Laser printers are designed to withstand extensive daily use. Businesses in particular like laser printers because the image quality is also high enough for creating marketing materials such as sales brochures. Laser printers accommodate a wide range of paper stock, including heavier weights of paper.

Where can I buy laser printers?

Laser printers can be purchased at office supply and consumer electronics stores which also sell all of the ink and accessories you need to keep your laser printer up and running. Most mass merchandisers also sell laser printers, but the selection is likely to be limited. Computer stores are another place to shop for laser printers.

When purchasing a printer, always start by considering your needs. For high volume printing, a laser printer will be your best bet. The unique technology employed by laser printers results in sharp images produced at a quick rate.
