Buy Toner Cartridges in Bulk and Save Money

Not everyone gets a printer brand new from the store. Thus, it is not always obvious from the get-go which units to purchase for your machine: ink or toner. You need to be sure before you buy cartridges in bulk. These are not interchangeable between printers and can be a huge expense if you purchase the wrong product. Not all stores accept returns or exchanges. Keep that in mind before making a large purchase.

Ink or Toner Cartridges

Either cartridge is good to use for printing colour or black and white documents and images, but they do not both work in the same type of printers. Ink cartridges are for inkjet printers whereas toner units are for laser printers.

Identifying which type of printer you have is the first step towards figuring out whether to buy toner or ink cartridges in bulk.

If you have your printer connected to your computer or laptop, it is easy enough to get the model name, number, and type by viewing the printing options in any program where you can print. Otherwise, it is possible to identify the type of printer by opening up the cartridge area and looking at the current cartridges inserted in the machine.

This brings us to the second difference between the two types of inserts.

A toner unit is filled with a polyester powder that is used to transfer images to the paper, whereas ink is a pigmented liquid. Therefore, an inkjet machine has nozzles, which allow minute drops of the coloured liquid to move through at a time. This means that printed pages usually require a moment to dry before you can touch them. Certain inks are faster than others in this regard to reduce smudging.

With the laser printer, the powder is transferred onto the page when the laser beam has created enough static electricity to bind the paper with the coloured powder. This process creates the smudge-proof image on the print surface.

Due to the superior quality in clear and vibrant prints, these machines and their consumables can cost quite a bit more than ink units. Thus, it is important to find a reliable supplier where you can buy toner cartridges in bulk at cheaper prices.

However, just because toner cartridges are more expensive to buy, it does not mean they cost more in the long run. Laser machines can often print far more from one cartridge than the inkjet types, and their products also have a longer shelf-life.

What Brand of Cartridge to Buy

Whether you are shopping for ink or toner cartridges in bulk, there are several sizes and names to choose from. To ensure the units you purchase always fit your machine perfectly and do not void any warranty you may have on your equipment, buy OEM consumables. The acronym stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which means you will buy products specifically made for your machine from the same brand as your printing equipment.

If you have an HP printer, look for HP products; for a Samsung machine, use Samsung consumables, etc. You can view all our toner units or all ink units online on our website. The user-friendly search function makes it easy to find specific items.
Although OEM products are best, it does not mean you cannot use other brands of consumables in your machine. You can always purchase generic units, which are cheaper than the OEM types. But only do so if you are certain about the sizing, and you know and trust the supplier.

The risk with unknown generic products from unfamiliar sources is that the quality can be poor and can cause damage to your machine. Speak to a representative of the store to help you decide on a generic set if you decide to go this route. A reputable supplier will know their products well enough to explain the pros and cons and types of printers that can work with generic products.

If you plan to purchase toner cartridges in bulk, shop around to find the best prices, but also check the legitimacy of a store before paying for a bargain. Browse our current specials to see what a real good buy looks like.
