Do You Know the Classification of Printer Consumables?

Have you seen the classification of printing consumables? If you use the printer frequently, it is necessary to understand this knowledge. There are different classification methods depending on the equipment, the use and the type of consumables, etc. The following are classified according to the type of consumables.
Toner Cartridge: For laser printers, copiers, and laser all-in-ones, each machine has a different toner cartridge. The toner cartridges also have different brands for printers, such as HP, brothers, etc. Here is an example of a HP toner cartridge. The cf226x toner cartridge and cf226a toner cartridge are suitable for the same type of printer. But do you know the difference between them? The cf226x toner cartridge can print more paper, which is the difference between them.
Powder bin is used in laser printers, copiers, and laser all-in-ones. It is actually a part of the toner cartridge. It only contains toner, no photosensitive component, and is the powder part of the toner separation printer.
Ink cartridge: for inkjet printers, inkjet fax machines, all-in-one
Ink: The liquid portion of the cartridge can be purchased for filling into the cartridge itself.
Ribbon frame and ribbon: for dot matrix printers
Paper: A device-independent, consumable medium that can be divided into many types:
Printing paper: the plain paper generally called
Inkjet paper: paper dedicated to inkjet printers
High-gloss photo paper: special paper for printing photo effects on a printer
Sulfuric acid paper: because the paper is transparent. It can be used for tracing or transparent printing.
Toner: The toner in the toner cartridge or powder bin can be purchased separately for adding powder to the toner cartridge or the powder bin. The powder corresponding to each cartridge may be different. For example, the cf226x toner we mentioned above. When buying a toner-filled cartridge, I recommend that you buy good quality toner to get the best print results.
