How does a coloured printer work?

A colour laser printer prints through laser printing also called electrophotography. Colour laser printers work by using a laser to produce an electrostatic image on a photosensitive drum. This is a more detailed step by step:
  1. Sending the data or image: Using your computer or phone send the document or picture you wish to print to your colour laser printer. The printer will receive it and will throughout the following steps process it to paper.

  2. Getting ready: Laser printers clean before each print job. This is essential to ensure residue from previous prints are removed. After cleaning, ‘conditioning’ which is where the static charge is applied to the paper happens. In preparation for the print job the drum inside the printer gets charged with electricity. The drum is then charged negatively.

  3. Drawing the image: A laser beam inside the printer shines on the drum, removing the electrical charge in specific spots. It creates a pattern that represents the image to be printed.

  4. Applying the colour: Each colour toner prints cyan, magenta, yellow and black. This is achieved by the drum rotating the four toners.

  5. Putting it all together: The spots on the drum where the laser has removed the charge attract the toner particles. The toner sticks to these spots, forming the image you want to print. A piece of paper is rolled through the printer and passes close to the drum. The toner on the drum is transferred onto the paper.

  6. Making it stick: The toner now needs to be fused to the paper. As it passes through the heated rollers, the heat melts the particles and fuses the print to paper permanently.

  7. Output: The finished print is now ready to be used.

Colour laser printers use a mixture of electricity, light and particles of colour to work together to create your documents or images. Prints from colour laser printers are highly resistant to accidental spills due to the nature of the toner used in the printing process. Colour laser printers stand out from inkjet printers as they use toner which are tiny coloured powders used to print instead of ink. This powder composition prevents colours smudging or bleeding when exposed to spills, ensuring prints remain entact. Whether it's a small water droplet or splash of coffee, prints from colour laser printers are resilient maintaining their quality when faced with accidental spills.
