The Two Types of Printer Cartridges

A printer cartridge can be any one of two things: an ink cartridge or a toner cartridge. The first one is used for inkjet printers. The second is designed for laser printers.

By definition, an ink or inkjet cartridge, is a consumable component of an inkjet printer that holds the ink and print nozzles. A toner cartridge, by comparison, is the replaceable part of a laser printer where the powdery ink or toner is found. The toner cartridge is otherwise known as a laser toner.

Regardless of the type of cartridge that you use, the ink on it would dry up or be used up some time in the future. In other words, you would need to replace your cartridge sooner or later so that it can continue satisfying your printing requirements. Take note, however, that not all printers would alert their users whenever their cartridges are already in need of replacement.

Then again, in case your printer has given out a warning that it's running out of ink, don't rush into securing a replacement just yet. Most of the time, there's still ink left, which will suffice to produce printouts of more than a couple more pages. Disregard the notification until such time that no more ink is transferred onto the paper at all.
