Why Does Ink Toner Cost So Much For Laser Printers By: Ink toner for laser printers isn't cheap! In fact,
Ink toner for laser printers isn't cheap! In fact, you can easily lay out well over $100 for an ink toner cartridge, which seems like a lot of money compared to $20 or so for an inkjet ink cartridge. So why does ink toner for laser printers cost so much?
There are a few answers to this dilemma. The first- and most likely most accurate reason ink toner manufacturers charge so much for ink toner- is because they can! If you're going to print with a laser printer, you NEED ink toner- and if you need it, you're going to pay for it. The greater your need, the greater the suppliers ability to charge you more money for it. That being said, there are several other reasons why ink toner costs more than ink cartridges cost.
Ink toner is actually a very fine, dry powder made of polymers and carbon. It is heated by the drum on laser printers and then it actually fuses to the paper. Ink toner is actually much cheaper than the liquid ink found in inkjet cartridges. One reason the toner costs more is the quantity per purchase. The average inkjet cartridge costs $15- $30 and prints 200-400 pages. Ink toner comes in a wide variety of quantities and can run anywhere from $75 to $300 or more per purchase, but the print yield runs from 2500 pages ot 30,000 pages. When you break it down, toner is actually much cheaper than liquid ink.
Another reason ink toner can be expensive has to do with the type of ink toner cartridge you purchase. Ink toner works with the heat of the printer drum to fuse it to the paper. Some ink toner cartridges have the drum head built into the ink toner rather than the laser printer. This makes the laser printers much easier to purchase, but it will greatly increase the cost of the ink toner. Manufacturers will market this type of ink toner by saying you get the best quality print from a fresh drum head with each ink toner cartridge, but this can be very misleading. Yes, you do need to replace the ink drum occasionally, but probably not every time you replace your toner. This results in a higher cost per ink toner cartridge than you actually need to pay. The ink toner will run out far sooner than the ink drum actually needs replacing.(read entire article)(posted on: 2010-06-18)
