Toner Zen

Many people are faced with the decision of what type of printer to buy. When they browse through any office supply store’s inventory, they will find that there are essentially three choices, which are inkjet, laser and toner. There are advantages and disadvantages to each depending on what the person is going to use their printer for. In general, Xerox ink printers are not as efficient as traditional toner printers for a few reasons.

One reason that toner printers are better is because they use powder to transfer text and pictures to the page instead of having ink pressed into the page. While the toner printers may not produce the same quality of results, they are substantially faster. A lot of toner printers can easily print 30 pages per minute or more, while Xerox printers typically only print around 17 to 20 pages per minute. Another advantage to using traditional toning is that it will always produce a clean result. While it is not an everyday occurrence, if an ink printer’s head becomes dirty, the ink can smear all over the paper, which will require the user to stop the process and make the necessary repairs. The only advantage the Xerox ink printers have over traditional toner printers is that the cartridges are not as expensive to replace.

Even though Xerox ink printers are a little cheaper, both for the printer and cartridges, than toner printers, the toner printers are still a lot more efficient. Most people will discover that laser printers produce high enough quality levels to satisfy their needs, so they will not be able to tell a difference unless they are printing a lot of photographs. One thing they will want to keep in mind is that toner printer cartridges can become messy when changing, so they may want to use an old newspaper or cloth to perform the task.
