Energy Industry Analysis and Market Trends

Electrophotographic printing is one of the oldest printing technologies. It is also known as xerography or laser printing. It utilizes electrophotographic papers that are capable to withstand heat and toner formulations used in the electrophotographic printing process. The type of paper used depends on the type of electrophotographic printing such as laser printing. The electrophotographic paper used in laser printing needs to withstand high heat involved in the printing process and is required to possess anti-jamming and anti-curling properties. The paper performance is also affected by the paper path of the printing equipment. The papers undergo surface treatment for better printing, low color mottle, and reduced feathering. The surface treatment process reduces the drop penetration depth in the printing paper and brightens its colors. Electrophotographic printing papers can be coated or uncoated. Uncoated papers are used widely as desktop or office printing papers. T...
