what is the difference in between an ink cartridge and an ink drum. They both look the same and i know that a drum holds more ink and therefore i can print more pages, but do they both do the same thing, and go in the same place in my printer. plz HelpI have a laser printer and i am in need of a new ink cartridge but i don't know what to buy?
In a laser printer the drum is what the image gets written on. It is metal that conducts a charge when lit by light, The charge repels the toner (ink) which is ferric oxide (rust) encapsulated in plastic. A toner cartridge is the ';ink'; a drum is the device the image is written on to transfer to the paper. HP printers combine both in the single cartridge, Brother and some of the other manufacturers make them as 2 separate items.
If the output is still good a drum is not needed, just buy toner.I have a laser printer and i am in need of a new ink cartridge but i don't know what to buy?
A drum isn't the same thing as a cartridge. Refer to the manual for directions or call the manufacturer's Helpline.
