Re: laser toner



Quoting Herbert H Gottlieb <herbgottlieb@JUNO.COM>:

Is there any difference in
the various brands that are sold for different laser
printers?

Yes.

I believer that laser toner is essentially
fine grains of carbon.

It's not.

It's a mixture. The ingredients are highly engineered.
Particle size. Electrostatic properties. Magnetic properties.
Melting points. Yada yada. For a very basic introduction, see
http://www.refilltoner.com/tonerExplained.html

Don't play with it without taking proper precautions. Like all
fine powders, you don't want to get it in your lungs. Also, it
makes a mess.
