Color Laser Printer Image Formation
The color laser printer image formation follows very similar processes to that of monochrome laser printers. With the
color laser printer however, there are a few differences;
•3 color Toner Cartridges are used along with black for CMYK printing
• Each color of the image is transferred to the OPC Drum in a separate operation. The transfer stage now
consists of both a Primary Transfer (OPC Drum to Transfer Belt) and Secondary Transfer (Transfer Belt
to Media).
