Laser printer
A printer that uses a laser beam to project characters and graphics onto a drum, which then electrographically transfers the image, using toner, onto paper.
Laser printers have long been dominant in enterprise environments but not the go-to pick for home users with color printing needs.

Laser printer photo drums are made with a doped silicon diode sandwich structure with a hydrogen doped silicon light chargeable layer, a boron nitride rectifying (diode causing) layer that minimizes current leakage, ...
Laser print: A laser printer works in a fashion similar to a copying machine. It uses a laser to write an image on an electrostatically charged drum. Wherever the laser strikes the drum an electrostatic charge is created.
In the case of dot-matrix and laser printers, the resolution indicates the number of dots per inch. For example, a 300-dpi (dots per inch) printer is one that is capable of printing 300 distinct dots in a line 1 inch long.
Note that most output devices, including dot-matrix printers, laser printers, and display monitors, are raster devices (plotters are the notable exception).
One process uses a Canon 900 laser printer and CMYK ceramic toners to print water slide decals at 300 ppi up to 11 x 17 inches in size.
Electrophotographic Printing: The technology used in copy machines and laser printers. An electrically charged drum is hit with small beams of light Wherever the light hits, the drum loses its electrical charge.
For regularly printing large quantities of images a color laser printer would be a better choice. They are quieter in operation and generally produce higher quality images.
The negatives are stored on the Kodak Picture CD as JPEGs, suitable for sending via e-mail, creating computer slide shows, making screensavers or wallpaper for the computer, or printing via a color laser printer.
For example, most laser printers have a resolution of 300 dpi, most monitors 72dpi, most PostScript imagesetters 1200 to 2450 dpi.

Number of dots a printer or device (like a monitor) can display per linear inch. For example, most laser printers have a resolution of 300 dpi, most monitors 72 dpi, most PostScript image setters 1200 to 2450 dpi.
diffuse dither
a method for printing continuous-tone images on laser printers in which the grayscale information is represented by randomly located printer dots.
PostScript level 3 emulation - A popular language from Adobe Systems for printing documents on laser printers. Level 3 supports many fonts and improves graphics quality as well as print speeds.

Short for dots per inch; a measurement based on the dot density of either a printer's resolution or a video monitor image. For example, most laser printers have a resolution of 300 dpi, and most video monitors are set at about 72 dpi.

Although this kind of large-format printing has been the exclusive preserve of commercial print shops, the speed and quality of today's ink-jet and color laser printers make it possible to print wall- or mural-sized images from a standard photograph.
secret space-based nuclear-pumped LASER which can direct the full force of nuclear blasts from space to any precise target — or targets — on Earth in an instant, there'd be no ring-LASER gyro inertial navigation systems, no LASER printers, ...
Using a source space that is a little lighter reduces the quantization when you correct for press gain. (few people know that Xerox PARC and Apple used 1.8 as a source space because of the natural dot gain of toner based laser printers.) ...
