CH Africa: Your No-1 Online Toner and Ink Shop
Here at CH Africa, our motto is simple: pay less and print more. We believe in always offering our clients top-quality toner and ink cartridges at an affordable rate. Our online shop offers customers a quick and easy way to purchase all their printing consumables and has the added bonus of saving clientele when it comes to time and fuel costs. One thing that the Covid-19 global pandemic has taught us is the power of the Internet in aiding us with day to day tasks.
Many offices have allowed their staff to work remotely in order to curb the spread of the virus, and many consumers are choosing to do their shopping online. Other than the economic savings, this enables individuals to flatten the curve and limit their contact with possible asymptomatic carriers of the virus. As an online cartridge shop, we aim to deliver superior products in a timely fashion. Whether you are in need of a bulk order for an office or governmental department, or a smaller delivery for your at-home office, we have a range of products and services available for your unique printing needs.
We have both ink and toner cartridges available, and both of these options can be bought online. We sell original equipment manufacturer (OEM) items and superior value generic models. When opting for generic toner and ink cartridges, it is imperative to ensure that you purchase them from a supplier that you trust.
Subpar quality toner and ink cartridges can cause extensive damage to printers, and what saves you initially in the short-term can end up costing you a lot more when you need to replace your entire printer. Thus, you need to choose a company like ours that has been in the printing industry for a long time and who pride themselves on providing outstanding service and quality.

The Basics: Ink Vs Toner
The fundamental difference between these two cartridges is the material that they are made from. Ink cartridges are made from a liquid substance that is either pigment-based or dye-based. On the other hand, toner cartridges are made from a fine powder. Ink cartridges work for inkjet printers and toner cartridges for their laser printer counterparts. Let us look at some of their key differences, pros, and cons below. We also discuss what printers work best for particular industries and uses.
Ink Cartridges
As already noted above, these can either be pigment-based or dye-based. However, most inkjet printers utilise dye-based cartridges. These are cheaper than pigment-based ones and are also well renowned for being able to produce vibrant colour images. However, dye-based ink is not waterproof, and the likelihood of smudging is high if documents are not given adequate time to dry.
Pigment-based ink cartridges offer a quicker drying time than dye-based cartridges and are known for their ability to produce crisp images. While dye-based ink can fade within about 25 years, the pigment-based dye can remain intact for up to 200 years.
It is also able to withstand water and UV rays far better than dye-based ink. Thus, using pigment-based ink might be a better option if you are printing important text-heavy documents that need to stand the test of time. While this ink is more costly, it might benefit you in the long run. Nonetheless, if you are looking for vibrancy and brilliant pops of colour, dye-based ink is certainly the way to go.
Who Should Use Them: Inkjet printers are a brilliant choice for those with small at-home offices or those who have children who need to print colourful documents for school. Many inkjet printers are all-in-one devices and are thus also able to scan and fax when needed. This type of printer and cartridge solution will enable you to print decent quality photos and is well-suited for those who need to print regularly but not in great volumes.

Pros:
- Much cheaper than laser printers (both in terms of the printer itself and the cartridges).
- Easier cartridge replacement.
- More vivid colour images and better suited to printing on cardboard.
- A lower printing yield than laser printers (thus not suited for industries where mass printing is needed).
- Cartridges can become clogged more easily.
Toner Cartridges
Toner cartridges, on the other hands, are made with a dry powder and are thus a better choice for anyone who is worried about ink stains. A drum is utilised to fuse the toner powder to the printing paper and laser printers either print in monochrome or colour. Some drums are already built into the toner cartridge itself while others are sold separately. The built-in ones are oftentimes more costly than those sold without a drum. However, they have the added convenience of users not having to manually change the drum.
Who Should Use Them: Toner printers and cartridges are best for those who need a higher printing yield. Print-heavy industries, such as academic institutions, governmental departments, law firms, and accounting agencies will often use laser printers. Since toner printers can print documents much faster, they also suit fast-paced industries. Some can print up to 100 pages per minute and thus, bulk printing is the order of the day when it comes to toner printers.
Pros:
Thus, there are a number of differences between toner and ink printers and the choice is largely dependent on what printing jobs need to be completed. As a rule of thumb, ink cartridges are better to use for vibrant colour images and at-home use, and toner cartridges are better for bulk printing and text-heavy documents. If you feel lost as to which option would work best for your needs, we are always available to be a sounding board and to offer our expert advice.
