Quality

Quality is one of the huge differences between toner and ink. Ink provides high quality images and best print results in comparison to toner. Remember here the print quality does not depend on the ink itself but it is depends on your printer also. In addition, toner print quality is dependent on the size of the particles of the toner. If the particle size is small than you can get good prints results but if the particle size is large then you can only expect middling results.

 

Price

Price is also different for toner and ink. Ink price is quite low when compared to the prices of a toner. It has many reasons firstly its speed is slow and it is easily depleted. The life of the ink cartridge is very short.  Besides, the price of the toner is quite high because it allows you more pages printed as compared to ink.


Toners print faster comparison ink print

Ink cartridge speed is quite slow as compared to a toner because through the toner you can print up to 5,000 pages. That is why; if you want to print a lot of document then toner cartridge is always best option for printing.


Toner uses laser for printing while ink applies pressure for printing

When you are using wet ink it is applied to paper via a print head through pressure, it will print by shooting bubbles of ink and jet control into the paper therefore the name inkjet. Ink will time to warm up. In addition, toner is applied to the paper through a statically-charged drum and melted by a fuser, then baked onto the paper. This is why a toner printer can get very hot and the paper feels warm when it comes out of the printer.

Here we can see the difference between toner and ink. Nowadays every person is using printer at home and office. It is important for everybody to know the difference between toner and ink. These differences will help you to choose ink and toner for your printer so that the printer works properly and it gives best print results.

PPEMasters is the best company I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. The customer service from Sam is above and beyond any service I’ve had anywhere! I’m floored that this level of customer care still exists. The choice for same day shipping is a saviour and Sam is always contactable. The prices are the most competitive in the market, and even if they weren’t I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Cheers

I was in a desperate situation and logged multiple calls. When it was answered the next day, the service (and knowledge to assess my problem) was 10 out of ten

Wasn't sure after seeing ratings here. But then it was mostly for Covid products where I was interested in printing parts replacement. The web ordering looked so easy and there was 'in stock' showing. However I rang to make sure and expected to be in long waiting queue. Wrong! Phone was picked up within few rings. He corroborated the stock level. So I ordered using my PO address. Got email straight back saying it was too big for PO box. I emailed back a physical address. Got immediate emailed 'thank you'. The package arrived the following day in Blue Mountains NSW! It was a genuine, brand new OKI printer part that instantly worked. I'm pretty hard on poor service from online vendors these days and Idon't bother with reviews. But I couldn't fault this experience and had to write about it. Well done guys!!!
