What happens to a laser printer when you use photo paper? -

I did it to mine and the company said I have to get it professionally repaired. Did I screw up?

It will come put very nice... but it ll bends the paper. This happens because when the paper it taken into the printer, the printer circles it like 2 times, which that causes it to bend when coming out.

I thinkin like wicked witch of the west im melting!!!!

hide it from the cops, with lasers

Sorry to tell you this, but yes you did screw up. Typical photo paper you buy in IT shops are meant for inkjet. They will usually state that on the packaging too, that it is meant for inkjet printers. These papers have a special layer of chemical coatings to absorb ink so that the inkjet inks can be mixed to give you that brilliant hue. This is also why inkjet printers produce more realistic photo colors than lasers. The laser printer uses toner, which is then pressed and melted in the last step of the printing process. That is why the paper comes out warm. When you put photo paper into the laser printer, the fuser probably melted the chemical coating on the photo paper and glued itself all over. Depending on which type of laser printer you have, the fuser may be replaceable or the whole thing may have to be changed. Depending on what they are charging you, it might be better to buy a new printer altogether. Next time, you should look out specifically for laserjet paper (they have different types of good quality paper for lasers). Usually, they are thicker, brochure type materials... but generally not inkjet photo paper.
