Laser Paper in Digital Printers:

• The paper for laser printers must be manufactured to a very smooth finish to enable the sheet to handle even the finest graphic detail. Since laser imaging involves heat and electrical charges, paper must contain a lower moisture content than offset papers to transfer and bind the toner to the sheet. This produces the high-resolution image expected when using digital technology.
