Current business practice requires that all tech savvy and easy to work with companies use fax, scan, and print machines. Companies must not only be able to easily accept the information which their customers send, they must also be able to keep quick and clean records of what happens in their business. Any kind of printing machine will work on either wet ink or through laser printing with dry ink in toner cartridges. Laser printers output materials very quickly and so are often preferred over basic ink printers in spaces where much material needs to be printed.
Electrostatic attraction interacts with photoconductivity to make dry ink stick in laser printers. To begin the imprinting process, a laser projects part of the image of the material to be printed onto a mechanical piece, called a drum, that has been coated with chemical or organic semiconductors. Photoconductivity makes it so that the areas that are hit with the laser's light do not have an atomic charge and so do not attract particles or ink. The areas that are still charged are then left to pick up tiny physical material from the collection of dry ink called 'toner' that is also located in the printer.
Toners can, and usually are, full of a combination of various materials. At first toners were full of basic powdered carbon. Carbon powders began to be mixed with plastic compounds called polymers to make the printed material more pleasing. Carbon powder, waxes, resins, and small plastic compounds might all be found inside of today's toner cartridges.
Better quality toners have smaller particles that create more collected and pleasing prints. Some companies ever 'grow' materials that are smaller than organically occurring elements.
These materials stick to the areas that have not had the laser shined on them through a naturally occurring charge within the particles. For the powdered 'ink' to stick to the desired piece of paper, heat is applied within the printer.
When laser printers were first used in the 1980's people had to refill their toner ink cartridges manually through a messy and time consuming process. Now it is most often seen that toner ink is replaced along with its container. It is not healthy for the Earth's environment to keep depositing the plastic contained in both the printer's ink and the actual plastic containers onto it. Some not-so-modern printers have a system that requires that the drum be replaced along with the ink containers. It is lucky that society is moving away from such practices. The next step in improving toner ink quality will be in making the material and packaging more eco-friendly.
