Black Laser Toner • Color Laser Toner
Toner is a carbon polymer powder that is used in laser printers and
copiers and is fused on paper to form printed text and images.
The fine powder actually consists of tiny thermoplastic beads with carbon
black or color particles attached to them. Inside a laser printer,
these negatively charged toner beads are first attracted by the positive
charge of the printer drum, and then by the paper's stronger positive
charge. The toner beads melt and fuse to the paper when heated by
the fuser rollers, bonding the toner to the paper surface. Color
laser printers use four toner colors — black, cyan, magenta, and
yellow — to create full-color images. There are several
different grades of printer toner; as a rule, higher resolution printing
requires smaller toner bead sizes.
Printer toner, which comes in both black and color, is normally sold in
disposable cartridges designed for your printer make and model.
You can buy these disposable cartridges at office supply stores, online,
or sometimes directly from your printer manufacturer. Another option
is to use generic printer toner cartridges. These cartridges are
made by companies other than the company that manufactured your printer
but are designed to be compatible, nonetheless. These compatible
printer toner cartridges are often significantly less expensive than
brand-name toner cartridges. However, many printer users still
prefer to use the printer supplies offered by their computer printer or
copier supplier. If you need specialized color toner for your
color laser printer, you
may need to buy the toner cartridges offered by your printer manufacturer.
In recent years, third-party toner suppliers have figured out how to reuse
and refill spent printer toner cartridges. Not only does this reduce
the potentially enormous amount of waste generated by so many used
cartridges, it also provides printer users with an inexpensive source
for printer toner.

Toner Cartridge Recycling
Some toner cartridge manufacturers encourage their customers to return used cartridges for recycling. When the toner in your cartridge runs out and you purchase a new cartridge, these manufacturers let you use the box from the new cartridge to ship the empty cartridge back to them. For convenience, they usually enclose step-by-step shipping instructions and a mailing label in the box with each new cartridge. Certain manufacturers will even pay the cost for returning your used cartridges!
Upon their return, toner cartridge manufacturers disassemble the old cartridges, recondition certain parts for reuse, and recycle much of the remaining material. Recycling toner cartridges is a cost-effective way to conserve valuable materials and keep them out of landfills.
