With increased use of advanced gadgets, such as computers, printers etc., there are many choices of what is required to make the system run more efficiently. One particular option that modern users have is either to choose ink or toner cartridges for their printer. Toner cartridges can be expensive, and sometimes it exceeds the initial cost of the printer itself. However, users can turn to generic brand laser toners that are produced by third party manufacturing companies other than the original printer manufacturer. These alternative printer supplies are widely available at a fraction of cost of the original replacement. Additionally, there are also toner refill kits that could be used to refill an empty cartridge.

Generally, toner composition varies according to the manufacturer. Particular size of toner impacts the resolution and output. For example, when the toner particle is smaller, the resolution will be much better. In addition, toner particles with more similar sizes and shapes bring about better color of the image and more impressive result. High quality, longer period of printing life, speed, efficiency and precision of laser-imaged applications are few big reasons why people prefer toner cartridges. The Inkjet Cartridges are also quite large and include a substantial amount of toner that can typically print more than 5,000 pages. However, the toner cartridge is expensive than an inkjet cartridge, but it ensures a much longer printing life. You will spend a bit initially, but the cost per page will be low. So, if you print a lot of documents, then toner cartridges are a better choice.
