Electrostatic Printing

This method of printing is very similar to photocopying and it is what lead to the digital printing technology. It uses the method of attaching color to a drum and is blended with the paper with heat. It is also very cost effective in production. It is a process of printing without real contact. The paper is coated with a very thin layer of zinc oxide, which makes it an insulator while in the dark and a conductor of electricity when exposed to light. This paper is given a negative electrical charge in the dark.
