Cheap doesn’t necessarily mean low-quality. If you go for a well-known brand like Canon and, if you know a few things about buying toners and making the most of them, you will be able to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Here are some tips to help you get the most value for your money with an inexpensive toner:
* You begin by getting a decent printer. Because, really, there is only so much toners can do with truly lousy, inferior printers. There are many kinds and models of printers to choose from. Canon printers, one of the most popular brands, would be one of them. Check out the printer’s resolution which is stated in dots per inch. Compare prices and resolution.
* Toners are chemicals that bond with paper to form the text or pictures that make up the printed image. There are toners for inkjet printers and laser printers.
* The price of the toner may run up your printing cost over time. This is one of the most frequently used devices in the print system and will thus need to be replaced constantly. So check the toner price. If you’re going for, say, a Canon toner, consider a cheap Canon toner which can help you save money in the long run.
* Find out if your printer can use separate color cartridges. There are printers that pack all the color cartridges in one cartridge and this means that once even just one of the colors run out, you will need to purchase all the other colors because you have no choice but to use an entire set of cartridges. That is bad for your budget.
* Again, thinking ahead, you have to find out if getting a replacement toner would turn out to be such a hassle. Is the particular Canon toner you are eyeing available at most office stores or online vendors? Also, check if the warranty of your printer requires you to buy a toner of the same brand. In some cases, using a third party toner or ink nullifies the warranty for the printer.
* Get the right toner by checking the specific brand and model of printer. In most cases, there is a cartridge number or a code for the toner. Check the printer manual. You can also check the printer box or the toner cartridge box.
* When you shop for a toner online, read customer reviews particularly from known review sites. Also, make sure you find out the shipping cut-off time so you know exactly when your toner will arrive at your doorstep.
* Always find out about the terms of warranty (including how many days are covered and the like) and the return policy.
