    So no it doesn't use a laser, it uses a small heater that warms the paper that's specially treated to react to heat. If it used a laser it would havr to be marked as such.

      Oh wow I didn’t know such a thing was possible that’s honestly more impressive than it being a laser! Now I’ve gotta tear one apart so I can look at the print head. Which should I sacrifice?

      Hey​@@ChadsCustomCreations I was just wondering the difference between the "All in one" version and the "split" version? The link you provide in this thread is the all in one version but the one you use in the video is the split version. Btw both are 300dpi now so you should probably update your link for the printer used in the video since it's only the 203dpi and at the same price point as the newer version 300dpi. Thank you btw for all the info!
