What is the Difference Between Ink & Toner Cartridges?

It is easy to need clarification on ink and toner cartridges, especially for those with little knowledge of printers. Listed here is the difference between the two:

An ink cartridge is one that makes use of liquid ink in a single-unit container. There can be multiple containers for different color ink. This type of ink is refillable once it is empty instead of having to replace the entire cartridge.
A toner cartridge uses powder or dust and can also be refilled. It uses laser technology to melt the toner powder dust onto the page to create an image. '
Although the cost of the toner and the ink largely depends on the quality and type of cartridge, the ink cartridge always tends to be the more expensive one.
Inkjet printers use ink cartridges, which are usually cheaper than laser printers which use toner cartridges. On the other hand, a replacement ink cartridge will cost more than a toner replacement.
Printers that use ink are less likely to smudge the page. At the same time, it will dry out faster if not in use for a long time. It also tends to clog and needs you to clean the printer head frequently.
Ink cartridges tend to have a lower page yield than toner cartridges.
The laser printers that use toners are usually faster, have a high page yield, and will not dry out fast. They are efficient printers that are highly convenient to use.
A toner printer is ideal for high-volume printing and printing many pages fast.
The ink printers are more suited for high-quality photos, the added advantage being the inkjet printer is low investment.

Which Is the Best Cartridge to Buy?

The best type of cartridge for you depends on several factors, some of which are explained in this article. A laser printer using a toner cartridge is ideal for those who need to print many reports and need it fast. There are several other benefits of opting for the toner cartridge, one of them being it costs less. The ink cartridge costs more but is ideal for high-quality photo printing. However, by opting for the remanufactured cartridges from Houseofinks.com, it is possible to save a great deal of money. These is a good quality compatible ink or toner cartridge that cost a fraction of the OEM ones.

Summary

Both the ink and toner cartridges have their benefits; however, the one that is best for you depends largely on your printing needs. Opting for remanufactured cartridges makes it possible to save a substantial amount on the replacement printer cartridge.
