There isn't just one type of laser printer, it also depends what quality you want the thing being printed out to be. I have two laser printers and one spits them right out in just a few seconds while the other takes probably 15 seconds just to print one worded page.
Point is: speed varies
A printer that communicates with a device using light waves is a laser printer. Laser printers use a laser beam to create an electrostatic image on a drum, which is then transferred and fused onto paper to produce the final printout.
A thermal printer uses heat to transfer ink onto paper, while a laser printer uses a laser beam to create an image that is transferred onto paper through static electricity and heat. Thermal printers are typically faster and quieter for printing receipts and labels, whereas laser printers are better suited for high-quality text and graphics printing on various paper sizes.
The laser beam in a laser printer is initiated from a laser diode, not a mirror. The laser beam is then directed by a rotating polygon mirror, not an octagonal mirror, which reflects the beam onto the drum surface to create the print image through a process called electrostatic printing.
A laser printer uses static electricity to produce an image on paper. The process involves a laser beam to form an electrostatic image on a photosensitive drum, which attracts toner particles to transfer and fuse onto the paper.
The difference between an inkjet printer and a laser jet printer is that inkjets use liquid ink and laser jets use toner cartridge and heated fusers. Inkjets can print in color and laser jets can't.
Laser printers are meant for offices, documents more than photos, and are generally faster than inkjet printers.
It depends on the printer! How much data is on the page to be printed, etc. Each maker should show these figures on their websites - but I would take them with a pinch of salt! Once the laser has processed the data, printing can be very fast, compared to an inkjet, IMHO!
The laser printer was invented in 1969 by Gary Starkweather at Xerox. The first commercial laser printer, the Xerox 9700, was released in 1977.
My last laser printer was purchased from www.futureshop.com. I would recommend them for their service and fast shipping. Many other stores have color laser printers available on their websites. Staples and BestBuy are just a few.
If you have an HP laser printer, I suggest you buy it directly from HP online store. I find it cheaper to get laser printer cartridges from them for my HP laser printer. If you have a different brand of laser printer, amazon is a good place to start if you're looking for a cheaper laser printer cartridge.
Yes, you can print photos on a laser printer, but the quality is usually not as good as an inkjet printer. Laser printers are best for text and graphics, while inkjet printers are better for high-quality photo printing with smoother colors and finer details.
If the vellum is rated for a laser printer, it shouldn't be a problem. You do NOT want to use inkjet paper in a laser printer, or vice-versa.
RIP.
Laser printers use a drum and toner in the printing process.

If the transfer paper isn't made for laser printers, then the laser printer melts the paper. You can do major damage to your printer.
A laser printer uses a dry toner powder in a sealed cartridge.
