A good quality printer is an expensive computer accessory whether it be a laser or an inkjet printer. So are the replacement toner cartridges that you need after your starter cartridges (one that comes with your printer) get exhausted. However, buying brand new toner cartridges is an expensive proposition. Often people tend to buy low quality printer toner cartridges to get easy on the cost aspect of these cartridges.

There are basically four types of toner cartridges available in the market. The first one are the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) toner cartridges that are manufactured by brands like HP, Epson, Dell and Canon. The second category of toner cartridges is the compatible or generic cartridges which are similar to OEM cartridges in quality but much low in terms of price. Remanufactured or refurbished toner cartridges comprises the third category of these cartridges which are recycled from the original ones. The fourth category is that of the refill toner cartridges that can be refilled with toner ink and used again and again till they are worn out.

In order to get quality printing work, it is very important to use high quality toner cartridges. If you use low quality toner cartridges in your printer then, it can potentially harm your printer. Low quality toner ink cartridges might be low on cost but in the long run they can cost you much higher. These printer cartridges can destroy your printer with their poor quality ink and can have several other bad effects for your printer. Paper jams and early worn out rollers can be the other potential harms. Apart from this, the more aggravated effects can be the leaking toner cartridges and bleeding ink prints in the printed sheets.

So, using a good quality printer toner cartridge is a far better option for all your quality printing work and cost effective benefits, as the high downtime cost caused by low quality toner cartridges would ultimately mean huge loss in terms of your money and investment.
