By Bradd Alan


Whether it is an original equipment manufacturer, or a recycled toner cartridges, the life of the cartridges is very short. It doesn't matter if you are regularly using the printer or it is left out. The cartridge of the laser toner will be thrown out within a span of 2 years from the time you purchase it. There must be a reason behind the spoilage of the cartridge. Before knowing the reason behind the spoilage of the toner cartridge it is important to know the usage of a toner. The toner cartridge is a device that is used in a printer to print thing on the paper.

The work of a toner is the same as a printer ink that is put in the ink cartridge. Both the regular cartridge and the toner cartridge are made to do the same thing but there are a lot of differences in them. A toner cartridge is prepared using carbon and the plastic as the main constituents. The working of the toner cartridge is pretty simple. When the heating drum of the printer crosses over the toner the constituent of the cartridge combine together, melts down and gets imprinted on the paper.

There is a big environmental benefit for recycling the cartridges. Recycling saves lot of natural resources. Almost all the raw materials used in the manufacturing of new products are used while refurbishing the printer cartridge. The condition of the printer decides how many time can it be refilled. Though the cartridge can be refilled for maximum of 6 times the remanufacturers recycle the cartridge for ones to maintain its quality.

Though there are so many additions made for the preparation of the toner cartridge, you can still find them getting spoiled. The reason behind them is the improper storage of the cartridges.

The special feature of the package is that it prevents the cartridge to get exposed to the moisture, keeps it away from sunlight and also prevents it from heat.

The toner cartridge is very sensitive, when it is exposed to any of the following i.e. sunlight, moisture or heat, it gets affected by it and gets destroyed. For example when the toner is exposed to moisture it gets soft and wet which is not good for printing. Another major reason that affects the toner cartridges is the direct exposure to the sunlight.

Lastly, you need to keep your toner away from any kind of heat source, as the toner can melt and get stuck in the cartridge. Now when you are completely aware with the sensitivity of the toner cartridges and what are the effects if it is exposed to the environment. You can make suitable arrangement to keep the toner safe and it can last for ever.
