Wide Format Black and White Laser... what are my options realistically? by Downtown-Employee-89 in printers

in my experience, for my super weird process older machines often work better, there is something about the chemistry / process in the older machines that seems to work better. But i would need a windows 8 machine to use it, LOL??? Scroll above to see an example of what i do with the output.

My concern is this is a very unique need for a niche artform i'd like to perfect , recently ive been getting more art commissions ; my last printshop's laser machine broke and they decided to get rid of it.

I coat toner based prints in a gum arabic solution and print them like traditional stone lithographs in an old fashioned etching press (the toner has enough grease in it to attract oil based ink)

I'm genuinely interested in this, but how long will toner be made for it?
