Is transparency film safe to use in laser printers?
I have some REALLY old transparency film that's labeled as being for "plain paper copiers using dry toner". I'm wondering if they're safe to use in a laser printer but just so old that laser printers weren't around when they were made.

Laser printers work the same way as copiers. In either case there's a metal drum with an electrical charge. Light then knocks the charge off certain portions. In a copier it's light reflected from the original page, in a laser printer it's laser light controlled by a computer. The toner is fused by a completely different mechanism that has nothing to do with the laser.
