HP toner cartridges, Lexmark and Other laser Printer Toner Supplies: How do they work?
Did you know that the HP laser printers are actually made by Canon? HP laser printer marketing has captured the majority of the printer copier market. However, their laser printer and all in one toner based machine are actually made by Canon Corporation. Of top major laser printer copier manufacturers Brother and Lexmark make their own printers, copiers sand all in one machines. Dell laser printers are either Lexmark or Samsung printers.
Now you know who makes them so let see how the digital laser printer copier cartridges work in simple terms.
When the laser printer copier received the information from your computer is builds image in its memory. Once the image is completely compiled in the copier printer memory, the controller starts to lay the magnetic image (latent image) on the drum unit using a laser light. The laser light puts a charge on the toner cartridge drum where it wants to attract toner of the copier laser printer.
If you have a HP laser printer or Lexmark then the drum is part of the printer’s toner cartridge. Brother MFC, Okidata laser printers, Sharp, Ricoh and Gestetner have separate toners and drum units.
In the laser printer and digital copier, as the drum rotates the toner it attracted toner to the magnetic image on the drum. The toner is hold in the cartridge toner reservoir. At the same time the paper is subject to a high voltage to produce a magnetic charge on the laser printer copiers’ paper. The paper passes below the drum and attracts the toner on the drum thus “transferring the image” to the paper.
As the drum continues around the drum blade wipes off the excess toner and discharges the magnetic latent image. Now what the difference between compatible and OEM cartridges?
First, what’s OEM? It means “Original equipment manufacturer”. In other words, HP printers are a Canon cartridge that is relabeled and sold as an HP toner cartridge. All toner cartridge, whether compatible or one work the same way. The trick is to find a company who does a fantastic job in making compatible toner cartridges for laser printers copiers.

There have been lots of issues in regards to the transfer rate of the yellow cartridge with users reporting a much shorter lifespan of the remanufactured cartridge. Printers and their communications with the toner cartridges are becoming more complex and simply refilling a cartridge will not provide a comparable product to the Original product. It is best to source these toners from a remanufacturer with detailed technical expertise.
