Laser paper is designed to be as flat as possible, the better to burn quickly and efficiently in a localized manner when struck with a laser.
Not that it affects your point at all, but laser printers don't work that way (by burning paper). It's still ink-on-paper, the laser beam just tells the ink where to go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printer
- chc 15y agoHe probably meant "heat up." Laser printers use heat to make the dust they print with work like ink.

The charged drum then picks up the toner particles - essentially styrene and carbon black - the paper is pressed against the drum transferring the toner particles. Finally, a pair of heated rollers melt toner and fuse it to the paper. It is correct that laser paper is smooth but that's so the toner not scattered by the rough paper and can be fused fully.
