Ink jet printers operate by spraying tiny amounts of ink directly to the paper as ink cartridges are passed repeatedly from one side of the platen to the other.

In Laser printers, powdered "toner" is collected on special drums using controlled static electricity. The toner is then transferred directly to the paper where heat is used to permanently fuse the toner to the paper.

In general, most laser printers will be faster and quieter than ink jets as well as much cheaper to operate for black and white text.

Ink jet printers may be initially cheaper, but the cartridges are quite expensive and although a toner cartridge for a laser printer costs more than an ink cartridge, note that the toner will print many times more pages than an ink cartridge.

Color laser printers are still quite expensive to operate and purchase.

Who do you bend the beam of a laser with sound?

You can bend the beam of a laser with sound using a technique called acousto-optic modulation. This involves passing the laser beam through a medium that is being vibrated at the frequency of the sound wave. The sound wave changes the refractive index of the medium, causing the laser beam to bend.
