[QUOTE="firefighter4443, post: 195525, member: 1494"] Antiviruskey, Toner is usually found in Laser Printers. Toner iteself refers to the very fine colored (cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) plastic particles. The way a laser printer operates is by depositing the toner onto what is called an image transfer belt, which then deposits the toner onto the paper. The Paper then rus through the Fuser, which melts the tiny colored plastic particles (toner) to the paper. The fuser operates at something like 400 degrees F, give or take a few degrees, which is why a new print job from most copy machies comes out warm. Ink, on the other hand, is a pigmented liquid that "soaks" into the fibers of the paper. An inkjet printer has some kind of head that sprays the ink onto the proper places on the paper in very small amounts. As far as I know, toner is only and always used with Laser Printers, and Ink is only and always used with Inkjet printers. The only time you get away from liquid ink, or toner, is with the Solid Ink that Xerox has developed. Xerox has a printer that takes square blocks of solid ink, heats it up, applies it to the paper, and lets it cool again. Hope this makes it clear for you. [/QUOTE]
