A method for performing laser-ablation printing may include (i) determining an image to be printed on a printing substrate; (ii) ablating a printing material to expel a plurality of ablated printing material particles from a surface of the printing material; (iii) electrically charging the ablated printing material particles; and (iv) accelerating the electrically charged ablated printing material particles toward the printing substrate so that the accelerated particles are deposited on the printing substrate in a pattern that corresponds to the determined image.
