Let us begin with a few definitions. What is an ink toner cartridge? And how does it work? An ink toner cartridge is that container that contains powdered ink (toner) used in the laser printing system. The Wikipedia encyclopedia further defines an ink toner as follows...

"Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers to form the printed text and images on the paper, in general with a toner cartridge. In its early form it was a mix of carbon powder and iron oxide. Then, to improve the quality of the printout, the carbon was melt-mixed with a polymer.[clarification needed] Toner particles are melted by the heat of the fuser, and are thus bonded to the paper."

Similarly, a laser printer is a printing machine that uses ink toner to create printed text and images on surfaces such as paper. Some special printers can also print on plastic, fabric and other surfaces. Taking into consideration the functionality of a laser printer, it can further be defined as:  An ink toner printer that uses a laser beam to produce an image on a drum. The beam produced by the laser ink toner printer changes the electrical charge on the drum.     

At that moment the drum rolls through a reservoir of ink toner, picked up by the charged portions of the drum, and finally the ink toner is transferred to the paper through measured combination of heat and pressure. The heat will melt the ink toner powder as it is transferred to the paper.
