Explanation

Thermal printers use heat to activate a chemical reaction on specially coated thermal paper, producing an image without any ink or toner. Because no ink or toner is consumed, there are no cartridges to refill. Common examples include receipt printers and label printers. Dot matrix printers use an inked ribbon cartridge. Laser printers require toner cartridges. Inkjet printers require ink cartridges. All three of those must be periodically replaced or refilled.
