| 519464 | 2007-01-26 21:54:00 | Hi, Anyone here have a good source of paper (glossy and normal) for laser printers? I'm having a hard time finding anything suitable. It all seems to be for inkjets. Regards |

Some rely on being absorbed "enough" by the paper. If the paper is too absorbent, you get spreading and a blurred effect. "Laser" printers are much less fussy, because the toner is "ironed" on with a heated roller. It is actually melted so that it sticks to the paper. The only paper which won't work very well is a textured one. The roller can't melt toner in the depressions. ;) Plastic (transparencies) are very critical. The inkjet and "laser" types are very different. Inkjet transparencies might melt in a laser printer. This could destroy the printer. Inkjet ink might not stick to laser transparencies. |
