TLDR: Laser printer, no AC, high humidity.
I live in Singapore, the environment here is hot, humid, pretty much all the time.
I’m lucky to live in a house with a good breeze, so I tend to keep the windows open and all the rooms, and rarely turn air conditioning on. When I do it’s only for the room I’m in.
My servers and printer, are in a room with no air conditioning usually, this hasn’t been a problem historically. But I just got a brother laser printer, and one of those unpacking it I noticed it had a massive desiccation packet packed inside the printable area.
I wonder if people have had any issues in high humidity environments, with either their electronics, or a laser printer?
When I used to live in an area with a heavy ocean sea breeze, I had electronics that rusted from the inside from the high salt content. So I do wonder.
I have noticed paper I leave in a high humidity environment tends to become less rigid over time.
I have had issues with the paper not feeding well and jamming as a result of high humidity in a copier/printer - but this was a cool/cold high-humidity site in the UK.
That was resolved by fitting an optional heated paper drawer.
Thats a new one in deed
Yes. I had no idea they existed until we had the problem and looked into it.
I never thought of that!

Googling for, and seeing the 3D printer enclosures, that could work for a normal laser printer. It’d be much cheaper than air conditioning the entire room!
You can probably even omit any heating and just use those desiccant sacks. They can be reused.
