How Can You Differentiate Ink And Toner Cartridges?

By Bradd Alan


Whether it is an original equipment manufacturer, or a recycled toner cartridges, the life of the cartridges is very short. It doesn't matter if you are regularly using the printer or it is left out. The cartridge of the laser toner will be thrown out within a span of 2 years from the time you purchase it. There must be a reason behind the spoilage of the cartridge. Before knowing the reason behind the spoilage of the toner cartridge it is important to know the usage of a toner. The toner cartridge is a device that is used in a printer to print thing on the paper.

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.

There is a big environmental benefit for recycling the cartridges. Recycling saves lot of natural resources. Almost all the raw materials used in the manufacturing of new products are used while refurbishing the printer cartridge. The condition of the printer decides how many time can it be refilled. Though the cartridge can be refilled for maximum of 6 times the remanufacturers recycle the cartridge for ones to maintain its quality.

The plastic particles help the toner to produce particles in higher resolution too. Even after so many additions you can find the toner cartridges getting worn out. To understand the reasons behind this you need to see the package in which the cartridge is delivered. The package is especially prepared for the transport of cartridge; this prevents it from coming into contact with the moisture and light, to a certain extent it also protects it from heat.

For you information the toner cartridges are very sensitive so it is mandatory that special care should be taken for its storage. If by any means it gets exposed to the moisture, sunlight or heat, the cartridge might adversely get affected by it. Exposure to moisture softens the cartridge which makes it difficult to print. Sunlight is also a major concern direct sunlight is also very harmful for the toner cartridges.

The recycled cartridges are not only cost you less but you also get quality printing. The recycled cartridge reduces most of the printing costs. It also holds more ink compared to the traditional cartridges. Moreover the quality of printing you get is the same as you find from the regular printers. With the increased importance given to the recycling of cartridges, companies also offer to give money in turn of your used cartridges. The more used cartridges you send to the remanufacturers the more money you get from them, some of it is also donated to certain charities.

You can purchase toner cartridges in bulk quantity that can help you to get discounts on purchase. Simply store the cartridges at proper places with proper and suitable conditions, in proper storage containers and you can use the toner cartridge 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.
