A Buyer’s Guide to Brother Laser Printer Toner

Most common printers are either an inkjet or laser, and depending on what you have, it will determine if you require a Brother printer toner or ink cartridge. Inkjet printers are ideal for home or small business offices and spray ink droplets onto the paper via small nozzles.

Laser printers are usually bigger and more economical for printing larger volumes at a faster rate than an inkjet. Rather than using ink, laser printers work using toner powder which is attracted to the paper by an electrostatic charge.

What Are the Most Common Printer Types?

If you’re unsure what type of printer you have, there are several ways you can find out, so you know whether to buy ink or toner. You can access your printer property settings on the computer and search under maintenance or options. If you have print head alignment, print head clean, or nozzle check option, then you have an inkjet printer that is not compatible with Brother ink toner. If you open your printer and see a single, long cartridge then you have a laser printer that uses toner. You can also look for a label on the side of your printer or read the user manual, which may indicate the printer type. Alternatively, you can also search for the model number online to discover if you require Brother ink toner cartridges.

Should I Buy a Brother Toner Cartridge or Ink?

Once you determine you have a Brother laser printer that uses toner cartridges, the next step is to find what size it requires.
