Laser Printers

Every workplace needs an office printer. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality printing solution, a laser printer, or multifunction laser printer are hard to beat - but how do they work?

Laser printers use a laser to electrostatically charge an image onto a drum inside the printer, this charge then attracts the toner particles which are then fused to the paper using heat to create the final print. The result is crisp text and vivid images, whether you're using an A4 colour printer or an A3 black & white printer.  

Laser printers work with toner rather than ink. CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and key/black) toners allow laser printers to create both black & white and colour prints: they are used in colour laser multifunction printers or any other laser-based device that produces full-colour documents. An A3 or A4 black & white printer will only have one toner: black.  

Your company data is precious. That’s why the best all-in-one printers offer advanced security features to protect your multifunction printer and the data on it.  

Did you know that that an unprotected device can be hacked? Modern all-in-one printers are computers – they have a processor, memory and storage which can contain the data of all your prints, scans and copies. However, this storage can be compromised by hackers.  

That’s why the best devices feature multiple security measures designed to protect your sensitive data. Look out for features that encrypt all stored data, that only grant access to applications and firmware on approved whitelists and that back up settings to aid recovery in the event of an attack.
