Laser toner cartridges are used in laser printers in order to print text or images and play a role in the optimal performance of your printer. Each printer requires specific cartridges that are based on the type of printer in order to operate like it should. Over the life of your printer, you will likely need to replace or refill your cartridges many times, and oftentimes the cost exceeds the amount of money that you have invested in the printer itself. Finding high quality ones can be a challenge, but it is possible.
When possible, you should replace your laser ink carts with original (OEM) ones from the manufacturer of your printer. These types are the most superior in terms of quality, reliability, and the high speed that a laser printer puts out. OEM ink provide brilliant results, especially if you are printing in color and are the best when you are worried about the presentation of your printable material. Most OEM carts are backed by warranties from the manufacturer that protects your purchase from defect in materials and workmanship.
Laser printers and ink carts use four separate colors for printing, and provide the most professional looking documents. OEM toners are the most expensive type of cartridges, but you do get what you pay for when you purchase one - and there are far fewer complaints about this type than cheaper types, other than complaints about the cost.
Re-manufactured printer cartridges cost much less than OEM ones because the components are recycled from old, spent cartridges. They may include a new drum, blades and roller sleeve, but they are less reliable than OEM ink carts. Because there are steps that must be specifically followed in the manufacture of these recycled cartridges, the quality, reliability and performance of the product is sometimes questionable, especially if you buy from an unknown source.
When selecting and purchasing your ink carts, be sure to shop around and do some price comparisons, as retailers can vary greatly in their prices. You can check the output of the ink against the price that is charged for it before your purchase in order to determine a price per page printing cost - which is useful in making a purchasing decision. You should always keep spare toner cartridges on hand so that you do not need to run out and purchase on when your current cart is empty; this is especially true if you want to order online because it can take several days to receive your order.
