When it comes to printing, one of the most common sources of confusion is understanding the difference between toner and ink. If you've ever wondered why your office printer uses one over the other or which option might be better for your needs, you’re not alone. Knowing the key differences between toner and ink is crucial, whether you're trying to manage costs, improve print quality, or choose the type of printer best for you.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve spent nearly 40 years helping businesses and individuals navigate the maze of printing solutions. Specializing in laser printers, we understand the strengths and weaknesses of both toner and ink. We've seen firsthand how choosing the right printing technology can make or break productivity in an office.

Brand competition is like a never-ending game that shapes our daily choices. From picking out a soda to choosing our dream car, the battle of the brands is always on display.

However, brand comparisons may seem less relevant when it comes to a more unfamiliar industry, like printers.    

“Does it really matter which brand of printer I purchase? I mean, it’s just a printer?”    

This reasoning is faulty. As a local print vendor for nearly 40 years, we have partnered with Xerox and have seen printers' technological advancements firsthand. Choosing the right brand to fulfill your office equipment needs can be the difference between a wise investment and a costly mistake.
