laser printer
Central laser printing is used on a rapidly growing scale.
The on-demand printing process, which doesn't involve traditional printing plates, and uses toner instead of ink, is similar to laser printing , in which the digital data is directly imaged to the page.
The breakthrough relied on understanding how the technology that guides the precision of laser printing could be combined with the image-detecting charge-coupled devices, or C.C.D.’s, used in digital cameras and powerful image processing software.
