inkjet photo paper on laser printer Solved

Question

Hello,
Most matte or satin photo papers are designated for inkjet printers. What is the problem if they are used on a laser printer or with a photocopier?
The suppliers don't seem to know... Thank you for your help.

If this can prevent others from making the mistake, I wrecked my color laser printer with inkjet photo paper. I had used a different type before without any issues, but this time it was fatal for the rollers with melted plastic inside, etc...

Logically, you shouldn't have any major issues with inkjet paper under laser because the specific feature of this paper is to absorb the ink so that when it comes out, the ink doesn't smudge if you touch it (explained simply but effectively ^^)

So you can test it safely in my opinion.

I came across this post somewhat by chance: I thought that photo paper for "inkjet" couldn't withstand the heat of a laser printer and that there were serious risks of damaging the printer. So, that wouldn't be the case?

Hello
Photo paper is generally treated: "Glossy" = covered with gloss, in fact a varnish that makes the paper shiny
There are other treatments, baryta, colored and aged appearance...... these, as well as any inkjet paper
are NOT INTENDED TO BE LASER BURNED, otherwise the gloss..... and other treatments will burn!!!!!
The photo itself will probably not look nice...
I don't know more, you need to ask an expert on a site dedicated to photography!!!!

For a laser printer, you need to use paper for laser printers!  The temperature in a laser printer is much higher!   But is the opposite possible?
