👉 Toner consists of light-sensitive particles that are crucial for the functioning of inkjet printers, particularly those using dye-based or pigment-based toners. These particles are typically composed of microscopic, spherical or irregularly shaped components made from polymers and dyes or pigments. When an electric charge is applied to a printhead, these particles are attracted to the charged drum surface, where they are electrostatically drawn to specific areas based on the pattern of the printed image. After deposition, the toner particles dry rapidly, forming a solid layer that adheres to the paper. This process ensures high-quality, permanent prints by precisely controlling the distribution and density of the toner particles, which can vary in size and composition depending on the printer model and intended use.
