Toner cartridges, also known as laser toners, are the consumable parts of laser printers. The toner cartridge contains toner, a small, dry plastic granule, a mixture of carbon and black or other colorant that forms the actual image on the paper. The toner is transferred onto the paper by a static-charged drum unit, and the paper is melted onto the paper by a heating roller during printing.
