An ink printer works by manually applying the ink to the paper. A laser printer, however, uses toner, which contains ferromagnetic nanoparticles. Toner droplets are magnetically aligned on the page, creating the text. This allows for much faster printing. As for the actual documents, there isn't much noticeable difference, although laser-printed paper is often used for DIY circuit board etching.
