INK & TONER CARTRIDGES - WHAT ARE THEY?

Printer cartridges come in different shapes & sizes, but all have a common purpose.
And that purpose is to store a substance (ink or toner powder), which is supplies on demand to the computer with which the cartridge is coupled. Think of a baby (printer) & a mother (cartridge), supplying milk (ink, toner) on demand.


INK CARTRIDGES


Inkjet (Ink) cartridges vary in size & shape, from the size of a matchbox to a DVD cover.
They can vary in what quantity they contain from 2.5ml for the Canon BCI11BK Black cartridge to 330ml for the Canon  BCI1431BK Wide Format cartridge, although the majority are in the 14 to 18 ml range.


TONER CARTRIDGES
Toner (laser) cartridges are more usually expressed in pages of yield and vary between say a minimum of 1,000 pages for the Dell 592-11451 cyan cartridge to a massive 47,000 pages for the Canon TG29, GPR19 copier cartridge.


The toner printer cartridges normally have greater capacity than the Inkjet cartridges and are more office accentuated while the latter is more often for home usage.
Many offices though do use Ink cartridges, especially smaller businesses.
