As a result of this, I was told by my mother who used to transcribe
court documents for court reporters, you cannot submit laser printed

stuck together, compressed in a file for decades. The documents must
be printed on an inkjet device or offset printed.
I have many 3-ring binders with the first page glued down by its own ink
because people didn't put in a blank protective page. :-(

The answer is quite simple to arrive at: a printed
book. Alas, too
many books have been printed on acidic paper... of course, the
solution is rather simple, a good photocopy on acid-free paper. :-)
Plastic-carbon toners aren't archival, be they from a copier
or a laser printer. They re-melt, re-flow or otherwise become
adhesive under heat or pressure, and they'll interact with
solvents such as outgassing plastics like the vinyl from a
new three-ring binder.
