How Can You Differentiate Ink And Toner Cartridges?

By Bradd Alan


It doesn't matter if you buy the originally made equipment or the recycled toner cartridges, both of it have a small life span. Whether you use the printers regularly or it is kept ideal for a long time. The cartridge of the laser toner will get worn out and become a waste within 2 years of purchase. There is a reason behind the spoilage of the cartridges. Practically you can only understand the reason behind the spoilage of the cartridge if you understand how the cartridge is used. The toner cartridge is a device that is used to print the document using the printer.

The work of a toner is the same as a printer ink that is put in the ink cartridge. Both the regular cartridge and the toner cartridge are made to do the same thing but there are a lot of differences in them. A toner cartridge is prepared using carbon and the plastic as the main constituents. The working of the toner cartridge is pretty simple. When the heating drum of the printer crosses over the toner the constituent of the cartridge combine together, melts down and gets imprinted on the paper.

The printer toner makes the printing look simple but it has gone several development procedures to become perfect. The toner cartridges became possible only because of the modern technology. The usage of plastic was made along with the carbon particles to allow it to make smaller particle size.

In the preparation of a single cartridge lots of fossil fuels are used, which results in the emission of lots of greenhouse gases. Recycling does not involve the processes involved in the production of new cartridges. So it prevents the production of greenhouse gases. Other benefits of recycling cartridges are it conserves other resources i.e. timber, aluminium and other resources used while manufacturing of the cartridge.

The toner cartridge is very sensitive, when it is exposed to any of the following i.e. sunlight, moisture or heat, it gets affected by it and gets destroyed. For example when the toner is exposed to moisture it gets soft and wet which is not good for printing. Another major reason that affects the toner cartridges is the direct exposure to the sunlight.

You also need to keep the toner cartridge away from any kind of heat source. As heat might melt the cartridge and it might get stuck in the printer. You should have complete knowledge about the sensitivity of the cartridge and the effects of exposing it to the natural environment. So that you can make suitable arrangements for the storage of the cartridges, so that it can last for a long time.

If you buy the toner cartridges in a bulk quantity, it can help you to fetch discounts. The storage is the main concern so you need to have proper arrangements or its storage. Get proper containers so that the toner cartridge can last forever.

If you put them on proper storage facilities and use them one after another, the toner cartridge will work the same. In fact the toner cartridge works perfectly even with the cheap inks. Just a caution if you use cheap ink then make sure you clean the cartridge frequently this will help you to extend the life of the toner cartridge.
