This is a list of every printer brand for which we have toner cartridges available. If you can't find the cartridges you're looking for, please contact us for assistance (if you have an inkjet printer please see ink cartridges).

What is a toner cartridge?

Printer cartridges are easily classified as either toner or ink, but as a consumer it's not always obvious what type of printer you have.

Laser printers use toner, or fine powder, which, in the simplest terms is transferred to a sheet of paper using static electricity and then quickly heated to fix the particles in place.

Laser toner cartridges are typically slightly wider than a sheet of A4 paper (210mm), although they can be smaller depending on the print system used by the laser printer. They are also usually quite heavy (from several hundred grams to over one kilo).

The immediate printout from a laser printer will always be dry to the touch (because the toner is effectively "dry ink"), and during long print jobs the paper could get very warm as the printing process involves heating the toner to fix it in place.

About laser printers

It was traditionally only business or office printers that used laser toner, but in recent years the price and footprint (size) of some laser printers has been sufficiently reduced to make them affordable and practical for home users.

Colour laser printers are also very common and work in the same way as mono laser printers but require a separate cartridge for each colour toner (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).

Laser printers are usually larger than inkjet printers and are more commonly used for printing documents rather than photographs.
