Laserjet Printer

Laserjet printers

A printing technology that was created by Xerox in the 1970s, at PARC, their research facility.

A faster kind of printing technology, Laserjets are preferred by offices for this reason. It is also an efficient kind of system as all the moving parts are inside the cartridge, so each time one swaps it all the parts that take wear and tear are renewed.

Another advantage of a Laserjet is that if it is not used for extended periods it does not clog up like Inkjets do, this is due to the powder form of ink. In comparison to an Inkjet though a Laserjet is not as good at printing images.

A laserjet printer's drum should not be exposed to light as it messes with the charge that actualises the printing.
