Laser printers more accurately "bake paper so that number powder sticks to it"

There are two common types of laser printers. Those that have special paper that react to heat, such as receipt printers, would fit the description.

The other laser printers.. Hm, I don't think your description is accurate either. It's more that the laser electrically charges ink particles so that they jump on to a separate roller that gets rolled on to the paper.

I'm no expert though.

I like the chemical paper because I can write on it with a hot stick.

Yeah, it's fun but the temperature needs to be correct. With rising temperature, the paper goes black, light gray, brown and then glowing orange.

"Watch as I turn this ordinary paper into pure energy!"
