Most printer issues can be resolved through repairs. Whether it involves replacing a specific component or addressing other problems, the majority of printer repairs are relatively straightforward.

Toner cartridges contain a powder that bonds to paper to create images, while ink cartridges use liquid ink that is sprayed onto the paper surface.

There are two primary types of ink: pigment-based and dye-based. Dye-based ink provides superior color quality and results, while pigment-based ink offers greater stability and longevity.

Ink generally has a shelf life of one to two years. If you print infrequently, it's possible for your ink to expire before it's fully consumed.

Toner cartridges usually have a unique number printed on them. You can locate this number by removing the cartridge from the printer. Alternatively, you can search for your printer model or cartridge type online to identify the correct cartridge number.

Toner replacement frequency varies depending on printer usage and print density, but typically occurs every 6 to 12 months.
