A blank page is all you can expect from a print job if you are trying to print without ink or toner in the system. Many people seem to think that ink and toner are the exact same thing; this is a very popular misconception, since they actually have a few differences.
When looking at the differences and similarities between each type of cartridge, you'll soon see that aside from function and general design, they are actually quite different. Those who would only look at the design and construction of the cartridges might have a hard time telling the two types of cartridge apart.
Regardless of what type of printer you have, you will place full cartridges into the printer; in general, a printer will take two cartridges at a time. There will be one black cartridge and one cartridge that prints in color. Whether you are using toner cartridges or ink cartridges, you'll find that this is the case.
This is where the two types of cartridge differ, since ink cartridges are full of liquid ink, while toner cartridges are filled with a dry powder. Whether liquid or powder, the printing substances will be used to print images, text, and other features onto a piece of paper. The environment responds equally well to either type of print cartridge.
You'll probably have noticed by now that the names of the types of cartridge belie their style. Ink cartridges are only used in inkjet printers; toner cartridges can be found in laser printers. You may assume by now that you are not able to use one kind of print cartridge in a printer of another type (imagine a toner cartridge in an inkjet printer). You simply cannot mix the two; any attempt to print with the wrong kind of cartridge will be met with failure.
If you are worried about money, be sure to remember the fact that you don't have to replace your old cartridges when they go empty; simply take them to a shop to be refilled.
We now reach the point in our consideration where you must decide what type of printer to buy. Both laser printers and their cartridges will cost you more money up front than an inkjet printer and cartridge. However, you will find that laser printers produce documents of higher quality and in less time; additionally, your toner cartridge will last you much longer than an ink cartridge.
For the most part, inkjet printers sell more units to the home printing crowd than laser printers, so this is something else to consider. Regardless of your choice, you'll be pleased.
