It pays to be the crazy old man living with cats in the burnt out building.Earlier this evening I was down in the basement installing a light in my storage room and noticed a laser printer in the salvage pile. I just hooked it up and lo! It works. It's a couple years obsolete and a tad sooty, but, shit, it's a free laser printer! r0x0r!

Date: 2002-12-06 11:41 am (UTC)A laser printer is a printer that uses a mechanism somewhat like a photocopier where powdered toner is fused to the paper with heat. Unlike a photocopier, however, the elecrostatic charge that sticks the powder to the roller that applies it to the paper isn't generated with reflected light, but by very small mutant sea-bass with laser beams mounted on their foreheads.
They are superior for line-art and text since the lines and curves are "drawn" on with a laser beam they are very crisp with none of the "jaggies" you get with inkjet printers (which squirt little dots of ink at the paper). They also tend to be considerably faster than inkjet printers when you are just printing text. Great for invoices, letters, printing off code I'm debugging and that sort of thing. I am pleased.
All they Ill-tempered sea bass?
