Why is a laser printer printing all gray?

Why does color printing complicate a laser printer?

  • Need the answer for my Computer Engineering Tech class, help please!

  • Answer:

    You need 4 toners - thus 4 times the complexity of printing. Some printers use one drum, and 4 passes of the paper/laser, some use 4 drums, one pass, etc... More mechanical stuff too...

The question does make a lot of sense, but If you have a Laser jet that just prints in Black you only have to purchase a Black toner cartridge, For a Color you have to purchase a Black and 3 other toner cartridges, for most HP Laser printers the Black toner cost about $72 and each color toner cartridge cost about $90 ea, so it cost a lot more to operate a color laser printer.
