Determining if Your Printer Uses Toner Cartridges
Toner cartridges are used by laser printers, copiers, and some fax machines. Laser printer toner cartridges are generally about 9 to 12 inches wide. This is much larger than a typical inkjet cartridge. In addition, the laser printing process uses a fuser to melt the laser toner to the page. As a result, the paper that comes out of laser printers is usually warm. Most laser printer cartridges come in black. While colored toner is available, color laser printers are generally much more expensive. If your printer does not meet the requirements listed above, then it probably uses inkjet cartridges.
What is Laser Toner?
Unlike ink, toner is a dry powdery substance. During the laser printing process it is electrically charged so that it is attracted to the printer drum. The toner is then transferred to the paper. The fuser is responsible for melting the laser toner to create a permanent image on the paper.

Toner Cartridge Advantages
Laser printers that use toner cartridges offer several advantages over inkjet printers. First, laser printer cartridges are able to print thousands of pages and are usually cheaper per page than inkjet cartridges. They also print much more quickly than inkjet cartridges, and laser toner works on almost any paper type. The only downside to laser toner cartridges is that they cost more initially. However, in the long run they are usually more economical if you will be doing a lot of printing.
