Discount Toner - Simple Tips

By Kwan Lo


Discount toner is also known as compatible toner cartridge or remanufactured toner cartridge. You can save a lot of money using discount toner and still enjoy high quality image and text outputs.

Toner cartridges are used in both photocopiers and laser printers. They were filled with carbon powder in the beginning but later on, the toner powder was replaced by a mixture of carbon powder and a polymer to improve print quality. When the printer starts to print, a fuser keeps on melting the toner particles on the paper making the images and text.

It is easy to find discount toner on the market these days. These toners are available at brick and mortar shops as well as online shops. Before purchasing a toner, it is better to visit two or three shops where such toner cartridges are available. It will help you to compare the prices and the quality of the toner cartridges, and the services provided by these retailers. Before placing the order, you need to know the brand and the model of the printer or photocopier and choose the cartridge specific for that model. It is also better to get the toners from retailers that offer warranty.

Before the final order is made, you should check the shipping method of the cartridge. Some shipping methods take two weeks while others are quicker. Do order in advance before a new cartridge is needed so your work won't be delayed because of low toner.

Once you have chosen the right cartridge for purchase, the final step is to provide your address and mode of payment at the seller's site. You may want to double check the brand of the cartridge, model number, its page yield and other specifications at this point.

Some re-manufacturers not only sell toners but also buy the old ones. You may trade in an old toner for a new one. The word discount does not mean that the toner will have a poor quality. Some remanufactured cartridges and compatible cartridges are manufactured using the same specifications of OEM cartridges. They produce high quality output just like their OEM counterparts.

If you find a good quality replacement cartridge, you may want to buy in bulk. Online shops usually provide better discount on bulk purchase. It also helps you save the shipping cost if you purchase several cartridges at one time.

Finally, you should only choose reliable companies to place your order. These companies usually offer a long warranty period and 100% satisfaction guarantee. If in doubt, contact their customer support to see if you will get a prompt reply.
