The old thermal printers did not require ink or toner.
The disadvantage was that it required special paper. And eventually the thermal printed paper would brown and the print would fade, making it a poor choice for any type of permanent record. Laser printers use heat to 'set' the ink into place. If the thermal portion is not working properly, the ink smears right off the page.

∙ 12y agoThere are a lot of advantages to using a laser printer, such as:
1. Prints are done quickly
2. Another benefit of using a laser printer is that it is more precise then other types of printers, but especially inkjet and impact style printers. This is because the laser beam transfers the image to be replicated very precisely on to the paper, which saves the spilling of any extra ink.
3. Yet another convenience when it comes to using laser printers is that they are less messy to deal with this. You can easily refill or replace the toner cartridges that are filled with a fine powder. This fine powder is much easier to clean up then ink that can be spilled everywhere as you attempt to fill the cartridge from an ink jet printer.
