Tone Your Toner!

Toners are one of the most frequently used products in the world today. No! We are not talking about skin toner’s that are a part of many men and women’s skin care routines, but we are talking about ink toners like 7833A001AA toner, 2617B001AA toner and such.

Toners are basically electrically charged dry inks. In their earlier days, these were simply carbon powders, but eventually, to improve the quality of the print, a polymer was added. The modern toner is in the form of a very fine electrically charged powder which is generally filled into toner cartridge. These cartridges are mostly used by laser printers (Example: Canon 2617B001AA, Canon 7833A001AA), photocopiers and some fax machines.

While printing with a toner cartridge, the image is generally changed into bitmapped charges of the opposite polarity of the toner, on the drum. The toner gets attracted onto the charged areas and then this is fused onto paper by the fuser and then dried out by heat.

Many laser printers like HP LaserJet’s and Cannon laser have cartridges similar to the 7833A001AA toner, 2617B001AA toner. Most of these are complete cartridges, that include the toner and the drum in one cartridge. These also seem to be very popular with customers because replace one cartridge means replacing the drum too, which although expensive, gives a long lasting print impression again and again and again and each cartridge can print upto a 1000 pages on a minimum basis, of course depending upon cartridge itself also.

Many of these toner cartridges can be refilled with toner as well but the end result neither trustable nor even close to the original. Market compatible and company refurbished cartridges are available and are a common choice for those who cannot afford to buy the original stuff, although the market compatible cartridges are almost as good as the new ones.
