[1] Canon supplies both mechanisms and cartridges for most HP laser printers; some larger A3 models use Samsung print engines. [2][3] These printers (and later on all-in-one ...
e. Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process. It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder called a "drum" to define a differentially charged image. [1] The drum then selectively collects electrically charged ...
