Printer toners are powder refills for laser printers and copiers. Like inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges are available in several designs. If you are not sure how toner packs differ and whether to choose original or alternative toners, you can read on to find out.
Printer toner is black or coloured powder kept in a cartridge. A laser printer then transfers the toner powder to the paper using an optical roller. One of the most significant advantages that printer toners hold over printer ink is that toner powder does not smudge.
How Does Laser Printer Toner Work?
How is printer toner, which is basically a dry coloured powder, printed on paper? The principle of laser printers is to illuminate a conductive photoconductor. The whole process can be summarised in a few steps:
An array of lasers continually irradiates the printing cylinder, creating negatively charged areas that exactly match the pattern which will be printed on the paper.
The photoconductor loses its static charge in the affected areas, causing the toner to stick to them.
The toner is then pressed onto the paper by rotating the photocolour roller and burned off using the ignition roller.

Printer Toner in Colour?
You can choose from several printer toner colours. The basis is the black toner that comes with every laser printer. However, there are also cyan, magenta and yellow toners. Why these specific colours? A printer uses the CMYK colour system for printing, which combines these four to create all the colours.

You can buy printer toner cartridges individually or in multipacks. This applies to both black toner and colour variants.
What to Look for When Choosing Printer Toners
Printer Toners and toner cartridges are available in many designs. If you're faced with a choice, make sure you know what model printer you have and what colour options you need.
How Do I Make Sure the Printer Toner is Compatible with the Printer?
If you are choosing a printer toner, first find out the exact name and type of your printer. Original and compatible toner manufacturers always indicate their compatibility with specific printer models.
All toners have a list of compatible printers in the description.
If you do not know the type of your printer, look at the toner itself and write down the code on it.
How Many Pages can You Print with Your Printer Toner?
Toner yield is a figure measured in accordance with ISO standards, indicating the number of pages you print with the toner cartridge. It is usually based on 5% coverage of A4 paper.
Original Printer Toners or Compatible Alternative Toners?
Genuine toners are manufactured directly by the manufacturer of the printer. However, you can also choose alternative options, i.e. toners made by other manufacturers. What are the differences between original and alternative toner cartridges?
Genuine Printer Toners - A Sure Thing for Today's Models
Genuine toners from printer manufacturers offer maximum quality and compatibility. However, you will pay extra for branded printer toners. You may have trouble finding the original printer toner cartridge if you have an older model laser printer.
What Does Cheap Printer Toner from Alternative Manufacturers Give You?
Alternative low-cost printer toners are often compatible with older printers for which original cartridges are no longer manufactured. Another advantage is the comparable print quality. These alternative printer toners are thus quality toners at an affordable price.
Keep in mind that toner cartridges are for laser printers only. For refills of other types, visit the Printer Ink or Printer Accessories category.
