The printer is the partner of the computer for all printing needs. It is filled with consumables depending on its model and type. The common ones are the inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges, and printer ribbons. Most of the time, printer users would try to differentiate these but somehow there are always similarities that can confuse you. Let’s discuss those likeness and dissimilarities that may somehow give you an overview of these consumables.The Similar Points
There are always two different cartridges made for either the black one or the colored one. These are placed in separated parts found inside the printer. For the inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges, and printer ribbons, this can be observed.
The Different Ideas
The price will always be a factor that will differentiate these three. The most expensive could be the toner cartridge since it is considered as the cartridge with high quality printing at a fair to fast printing speed. The printer ribbon, on the other hand, is the slowest and relatively not that popular anymore, while the ink cartridge can be expensive or cheap depending on the brand. The OEMs can really drain your money while the premium compatible printer cartridges are somehow cheaper but with the same printing performance.
Although you already have an idea on how to compare the three consumables, you still cannot conclude which one is better than the other since each has its own characteristic and unique feature.
