Definition:
Xerography is the method behind many photocopiers, using static electricity and toner instead of liquid ink. The process leaves images with a distinctive texture—crisp, slightly grainy, and immediately familiar. Xerographic copies can feel archival or eerie, like duplicated shadows of the original. The word suggests replication made mechanical and dry. It captures the craft of making many from one without using wet ink.
