In the past, laser printers have had the reputation of providing excellent text quality, but below average color quality. Printing photos on a laser printer often resulted in prints of much worse quality than those of inkjet printers. Modern color laser printers have improved significantly over those available a few years ago, and many modern laser printers rival the color quality of most inkjet printers.
Color toner is usually made up of a blend of toner powder and polymer material that has been dyed to a specific color. The standard color configuration of a color laser printer is four cartridges in what is known as CMYK toner configuration. This stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. By combining the four cartridges at different ratios, it is possible for the printer to produce the entire spectrum of colors with only four cartridges. InkTechnologies.com has a wide array of color
toners for many popular brands, and offers Free UPS Ground shipping for orders over $75.
Print quality is generally very good, and compares well to other technologies. While inkjet ink cartridges often provide better photo quality, they are much more expensive on a per-page basis, and don't have the higher capacities of color toners. Inkjet prints are often affected by paper type, whereas color toner looks very sharp even on plain paper. Color
ink toner laser prints also tend to be sharper when printing color graphics. Solid ink technology is similar to laser printing, but uses solid sticks of ink instead of color toner cartridges. The result is less waste and often faster speeds, but prints can have a glossy appearance compared to laser toner, which some users find distracting.
The major factor for choosing color toner over other technologies is often price. Color toner cartridges generally offer the lowest cost per page of any color printing option, making them the most economical choice. This is due mainly to the high capacities of laser toner cartridges, which greatly exceed the capacities of inkjet cartridges, especially when using high-yield color toner cartridges. InkTechnologies.com clearly lists the page yield of each toner cartridge, making it easy to compare costs.
Using compatible color toners instead of the OEM branded toners is the best way to get a low cost per page. This represents the most economical color printing option possible, without sacrificing print quality. Compatible cartridges are often less than half the cost of those made by the manufacturer, making it easy to save money over the lifetime of the printer.
