Notes on this view:

This 11x14 photograph was printed on a Canon 300/500 color laser printer with dry toner. Four separate drums - one each for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black - carried static images drawn by lasers that were successively transferred and fused to a single sheet of paper, producing a full-color laser copy (CLC) print. This CLC has relatively high image quality, color saturation, and smooth tonal transitions. Color laser printers were often used to reproduce art and photography during the early stages of the print-on-demand book market before being superseded by digital offset press technology.
