LED printer

The LED bar pulse-flashes across the entire page width and produces the image on the print drum or belt as it moves past.

[1] LEDs are more efficient and reliable than conventional laser printers, since they have fewer moving parts, allowing for less mechanical wear.

The LED immediately prints and dries the full color image onto a velum-like material, which is then heat-pressed to an adhesive sheet for application.

[citation needed] In 2024, Canon developed a printing technology named "D2 Exposure" that uses OLEDs instead of regular LEDs to expose the image on the drum.

It provides a resolution of up to 4800×2400 DPI, and was introduced with the imageFORCE C7165 office color multifunction printer in late 2024.
