Page "Printer (computing)" Paragraph 38

Liquid ink electrostatic printer use a chemical coated paper, which is charged by the print head according to the image of the document.

The paper is passed near a pool of liquid ink with the opposite charge.

The charged areas of the paper attract the ink and thus form the image.

This process was developed from the process of electrostatic copying.

Color reproduction is very accurate, and because there is no heating the scale distortion is less than ± 0. 1 %.

( All laser printers have an accuracy of ± 1 %).
