Toner Cartridges
How Laser Printing Works
Laser printing method is taken from copy machines, which appeared long before. In such devices a paper sheet is powdered with black or color toner. Toner sticks to paper in places where the sheet is electrified. Then toner is to be fixed reliably, and for this purpose the sheet is heated, and toner fuses as if being weld to paper. And in the result we get the image we need. Laser printing technology impose certain restrictions on paper type, as laser printers do not like enameled paper and embossed paper with different textures (toner do not stick properly to such paper, thus causing a cartridge clog and premature breakdown). Standard office paper is the main material for a laser printer, non-glossy letter and label printing being also acceptable. Unlike ink cartridges, the laser ones have more complicated structure comprising Toner, OPC (Organic Photo Conductor), Primary Charge Roller, Wiper Blade (cleaning blade for toner remainder removal), Mag Roller, Mag Roller Sealing Blade, Toner Reservoir, etc. Besides, toner cartridges are bigger and much heavier than ink ones. Toner cartridges are sensitive to sunlight, so you should keep them away from insolation. Cartridges are to be stored at room temperature. You should not try to open a toner cartridge on your own, as it may result in its components break. If you want to have the cartridge refilled, we sincerely advise you to refer to professionals.
