The Best Toner Cartridge You Could Ever Own

Speaking of the cost performance of new and good quality printer supplies, we must talk about a professional term "single page output costs", which is, every page (generally refers to the A4 format) cost of supplies and it can reflect the cost of printer supplies.

How to pick the best toner cartridge? The ways are not that hard. The first thing you should do is look at the packaging. Printings of V4ink cartridges packaging appear exquisite with bright colors, while counterfeit products with bad quality seem rough with blurred images and colors look dark. Packaging of counterfeit products has a strong imitation of the traces, and words and description inside and outside don’t match.

The second step you should follow is look at the connection. The old drums have already been filled so there must be some traces of the connection when they are sold and are pretended to be new ones. If there are "red" signs or screws blue layer (that is the black heat treatment layer) and they destroyed, they are likely to be recycled drums.

The third step is to scan the surface of drums. After self-filling the drum, the core surface becomes rough, and there are obvious scratches. Since the amount of scratches are directly proportional to the frequency of uses of drums. Therefore the original new drum is not possible to have any scratches.

You can test it on the spot as well when printing. When images are printed out, the text is not only delicate and clear, but also the toner adhesion is particularly good and prints on paper make you feel prominent if you carefully observe them when using new original printer toner cartridge. In the contrast, the counterfeit cartridges or self-filling toner cartridges print differently and don’t guarantee the quality.  When some low-quality toners print on paper, you can even erase the words with your fingers and some toner particles are coarse, thus the scratched drums won’t become sensitive, so they only form blank papers.

So what are the supplies of the printer? Laser printer supplies are mainly toner cartridges and toners. The general low-end laser printer (hundreds to a thousand dollars) are using the drum one model, and they can only print no more than two thousand pages, then its single page output cost is probably more than 2 cents.

Some toner cartridges of high-end laser printers will be separated from the drums, and the output costs are lower. Basically the output costs and equipment prices are in contrast proportion: the mid-range laser printer's single-page output costs is several cents, while the high-end ones single page output costs can be as low as 7 cents. Of course, the equipment is not cheap as well, priced at around hundreds. Above that we talk about the black and white laser printer, because the colored laser printer supplies costs are much higher.
