Laser Printers Explained

A laser printer uses a laser to print text and images onto paper using static electricity and toner powder which is released onto the area that the laser has passed over. When you print with a laser printer, it is toner that is on the surface of your page. Toner is a dry powdered substance that comes in cartridges, which differs from ink cartridges which have ink inside. 

Ink cartridges need to be replaced regularly, and tend to be more pricey than toner cartridges. Laser printers tend to be used by those who are printing high-volumes of text, such as in businesses and office spaces. So how do you figure out which kind of toner cartridges you need for your laser printer?

Toner Cartridges Explained

When it comes to choosing a toner cartridge for a laser printer, your first step is to pick between black or colour toner cartridges. If you are printing in black and white, go for black but if you need to print in full colour then we recommend colour cartridges. Then you will need to know the make or model of your printer, so that you can find the right toner cartridge to suit your laser printer's exact requirements. The next step is to choose between original toner cartridges, compatible toner cartridges, and remanufactured toner cartridges. Original toner cartridges will be of the highest quality, and provide you with the best prints possible. Now you can get printing.
