Explanation
Laser printers use a powdered toner cartridge as their consumable. The laser draws an electrostatic image on a drum, toner is attracted to the charged areas, and a fuser bonds it to the paper with heat. Inkjet printers use liquid ink cartridges. Thermal printers use heat-sensitive paper and require no ink or toner. Impact printers (e.g., dot matrix) use an ink ribbon, not toner.
