The Difference between Inkjet and Toner

Toner cartridges are quite different from the inkjet cartridges, in spite of the fact that both of them are used for the purpose of printing. Using toner is much cost effective than inkjet and these cannot be used in the inkjet printers. Toner costs more but it usually lasts longer and also prints more pages in less money.
 
However, inkjet is mainly used for small office and home use. These printers prove to be useful when you have to print in small amount and cannot afford to spend excessive money on the printer or on the ink.

Selecting Black or Color

The step that comes next in selecting the cartridge for the printer is to decide on the fact whether you want it to be colored or black. Most of the buyers require some colored printing and color packs usually contain the black color. If you plan on doing color printing then you need to purchase color cartridges. However, if you plan to print only in black and white, a black toner cartridge will be enough for you.

The Cartridge Size of the Printer

A majority of the Fujixerox toner cartridges are sized in accordance to the model and making of the printer. Most of the printer has a numerical model number that is printed on the side of it or on the owner’s manual. It is also printed somewhere on the body of the printer. The model number and the manufacturer can be found on the front or side of the printer. Using this number you will be able to look for a compatible toner cartridge. Generally, the same toner cartridge can fit in multiple same brand printers.

Deciding Between Compatible Toner Cartridge and OEM

There are mainly three types of toner cartridge, OEM or original equipment manufacturer, remanufactured, and compatible. There are advantages and disadvantages to each one of them. OEM is expensive toner cartridges. However, these are also compatible and cheaper.

Remanufactured toners are at times labeled as recycled cartridges and are created by the original manufacturers. They are cartridges that have been retooled or labeled. These are cheaper and eco-friendly than original cartridges. However, you need to keep in mind that all the models might not be available.
 
A compatible toner cartridge, on the other hand, is manufactured by companies other than the original manufacturer. It is sold as toner cartridge for model printers, so that you can easily find out the cartridges that you are looking for. However, it is not as good as OEM cartridges.
