The third most used office and home equipment is the printer, with the refrigerator and personal computer before that respectively. This makes the printer an important tool for disseminating information. But what is the use of a printer if you have the wrong toner cartridges?

Think of toner cartridges as the blood of laser printers. It may not be cheap to buy one but you will certainly get the best value for your money if you get the original toner cartridges. The printer brands usually sell their own toner cartridges that are compatible to the machine.

What makes the original toner cartridges stand out is that they are made especially for the printer. There will be less likely any problem with the equipment. Original toner cartridges also have a warranty and guarantee the user of its quality.

Recycled toner cartridges however have an advantage over the price. They are cheap and can do a near exact job as the original. They also help reduce waste. Original toner cartridges are usually discarded and end up in landfills. And since its components are made up of plastic, metal and other chemicals, they can be hazardous to the environment.

Although recycled toner cartridges sounds like a better choice, you must also consider the dangers they pose to your equipment.
