Laser Printers

Laser printers are another common type of printers in the market. The speed of these printers depends on the output that is being processed. It can go print as fast as 200 monochrome pages per minute (ppm).

There are seven steps involved in the laser printing process.

1st - Raster Image Processing
2nd - Charging
3rd - Exposing
4th - Developing
5th - Transferring
6th - Fusing
7th - Cleaning

The most common manufacturers of laser printers are Hewlett-Packard and Brother. As of 2008, 1200 DPI laser printers are already a common.

Also, laser printers mark printouts with an almost invisible dot raster. These dot raster is used for identity purposes. The U.S. government and printer manufacturers use these to identify counterfeiters.
