A laser toner refill guide

A laser toner refill normally involves a refill kit that includes bottled toner which is injected into an existing laser toner cartridge that is empty. Bottled toner is plain toner in a plastic bottle. It is primarily used with photocopiers and is poured into a toner cartridge within the machine.

The other kind of laser toner refill involves replacing the toner cartridge. A toner cartridge consists of toner and an imaging drum. Normally laser printers and fax machines use a toner cartridge. Inexpensive copiers also use a toner cartridge. Toner cartridges cost more than bottle toner and are easier to find.

Use a compatible generic laser toner refill

When using a generic laser toner refill care needs to be taken to ensure compatibility with your machine. Laser toner may all look the same to the eye but they do differ significantly in their actual chemical properties. Using incompatible toner results in inferior image quality which can be easily corrected by using compatible toner for your particular machine. 

Always ask for a guarantee with your laser toner refill. Most reputable suppliers will have a money-back guarantee in the event that the toner quality is sub par. Recycled cartridges may also be a viable alternative for your laser toner refill needs. Cost savings could be $30 or more per cartridge. Look for recycled cartridges that are guaranteed to meet OEM (original equipment manufacturer) specifications.
