Laser printer photo paper vs. inkjet photo paper.
Laser printer photo paper and inkjet photo paper are two very different products. Laser printer technology is different from inkjet technology; it requires a paper able to withstand the high heat that literally melts the ink onto the paper. Regular inkjet photo paper melts in laser printers, as the finish is not designed to endure the high heat process of laser photo printing. Because of the different technologies involved, more manufacturers offer inkjet photo paper and it tends to be less expensive than laser printer photo paper.

∙ 15y agoI don't think that's a good idea.
Many photo papers have a coating that causes the sprayed-on ink to look more vibrant. That coating could stick to the drum or other heated surface inside a laser printer. It could be a costly mistake, depending on the paper coating.

∙ 15y agoA dot matrix printer uses uses a pin to touch a ribbon with ink on it to a piece of paper, which in turn leaves a dot on the page. The cheaper dot matrix printers have 9 pins and these pins are close together and the combination of dots forms the picture.
A laser printer uses a special ink called toner, which is coated onto the page in the form of whatever you are printing. The page with ink then moves over a very hot metal roller which burns the ink to the page.

Which type of printer is faster laser inkjet dot matrix?
Laser is the fastest printer.
Difference between laser printer and dot matrix printer?
The difference is the technology used in the printing. The dot matrix printer uses a matrix of needles that press through an inked ribbon to leave marks on the paper. The laser printer uses a roller system to leave charged area on the paper which attracts toner (fine particles of pigment) to stick to the paper. The dot matrix printer is largely obsolete nowadays; it has been replaced by laser/ink jet and thermal systems which are much quieter - making them more suitable for office and home use.
Which printer is good in working laser or ink-jet or dot matrix?
Laser printer is the best printer on all these three categories.
What is the the most expensive printer to buy ink jet printers laser printer or dot matrix printer?
It is laser printers a famous scientist told me
Print out from which printer has long life?
Laser printer, then inkjet, then dot matrix, then thermal printers.
Does the dot matrix printer produce images with toner?
No, a dot matrix printer has small pins that hit a ribbon of ink. A laser printer uses toner type ink.
Does a printer cause static charge?
Depend on type of Printer. A laser, LED or electrostatic printer, YES. Dot matrix or Thermal Printer, No.
What is the another name of laser printer?
Another name for a laser printer is an LED Printer. LED stands for Light Emitted Display. Laser Printers are more common in business than in the home, but they can work in either.
What are the 3 different types of printer?
dot matrix, ink jet, laser
Is dot matrix a printer?
Yes, "dot matrix" is an older type of printer that you don't see much now, because inkjet and laser printers have become standard.
What is the difference between a laser printer and and a ink printer?
An ink jet printer simply prints. A color laser copier COPIES. This is the significant difference between the two.
Is a laser printer the same as a dot matrix printer?
"Depending on the amount of dots used in the picture, dot matrixes can be very clear. How ever, most people and businesses prefer to use injet printers, because images are not created by groups of dots, and can be printed on regular 8 1/2x11 paper."
