This guide will offer definitions and tips on saving money on Xerox copier toner, Sharp copier toner, or Canon copier toner:

First, here are some definitions to keep in mind as there are four main types of copier toner cartridges:
* Original Equipment Manucturer (OEM) Toner Cartridges - These toner cartridges are made by the manufacturer that made your
copier. These are typically the most reliable type of cartridges but are also costlier.
* Generic Toner Cartridges - Generic cartridges are made by after-market manufacturers. These cartridges are designed similarly to your OEM cartridges,
but are generally cheaper
* Remanufactured Toner Cartridges – These copier toner cartridges are taken apart, cleaned, and then refilled with new ink.
These toner cartridges are generally tested for quality and often offer similar printing results as either OEM or generic cartridges.
* Toner Refill Kits - Refill kits save you the cost of purchasing a new cartridge each time you run out. However, these are
not alwasy easy to use and quality not be consistent.

Some specific copier toner tips:
-If you are looking to save money on copier toner, I recommend that you check the internet first. eBay usually has great deals on new
unopened toner that you can use for your copier.
-Additionally, you may want to look into buying remanufactured toner cartridges. Often times they come with a guarantee on
quality. Even if you don't buy remanufactured cartridges you may be able to make money by selling your empty toner cartridges
to these remanufacturers.
-Lastly, before you dispose of your toner, shake the copier toner cartridge. You may have some extra toner in there before you throw it away.
