A toner cartridge is a replaceable component in laser printers and photocopiers that contains fine toner powder used to create images and text on paper. When the printer receives a print command, the toner is transferred onto the paper through a process involving heat and pressure, producing sharp, high-quality prints. Toner cartridges are essential for the functioning of laser printers and are available in various sizes and types to match different printer models.

An original printer cartridge is manufactured by the printer's original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and is designed specifically for that brand and model, ensuring optimal performance, print quality, and reliability. In contrast, a compatible cartridge is produced by third-party manufacturers and is designed to work with the same printer models but is often sold at a lower price; while generally offering good quality, it may vary in performance and longevity compared to OEM cartridges.

Toner cartridges and ink cartridges are both used in printers but serve different functions; toner cartridges are used in laser printers and contain powdered toner made of fine plastic particles, which is fused onto paper using heat and pressure, providing sharp, crisp text and images suitable for high-volume printing. In contrast, ink cartridges are used in inkjet printers and hold liquid ink that is sprayed onto paper through nozzles, allowing for vibrant color printing and photo quality but typically at a slower pace and with less durability for text documents.
