Abstract
Over the last fifteen years, the number of laser printers has exploded into the millions. Demand has been spurred by increased performance and near-typeset print quality at ever decreasing cost. The first desktop publishing was carried out with daisy wheel and dot matrix printers, but nowadays one is far more likely to find a laser printer on a desktop. Laser printers and laser film recorders have also displaced molten lead type and mechanical separations in the graphics art industry, and digital offset presses are beginning to appear.
