HP Color LaserJet toner cartridge technology

Your customers are actively looking for solutions that will make in-house colour printing commercially viable and the development of a number of new HP Color LaserJet series is doing just that. Building on this momentum, and playing a key role in driving customer migration from mono to colour printing, are our HP Color LaserJet print cartridges.

Like mono HP LaserJet print cartridges, they are purpose-designed to interact with HP printers and media to deliver high quality results with maximum reliability, and they feature the latest HP Smart Print technologies to provide accurate supplies monitoring and consistency of print quality.

However, the technology behind colour printing is clearly more complex: how do four basic toner colours create millions of other colours? In the case of HP Color LaserJet printers, a technology called ImageREt precisely places tiny dots of toner in adjacent or overlapping positions while varying the size of nearby colour dots. This combination of four colours – in extremely tiny patterns and sizes – represents consistent colour images to the human eye.

Individual toner particles must be uniform in size to ensure colour accuracy is true to the eye. The particles must also be placed very accurately on the page. And since most printed areas are a combination of colours, the correct amount and placement of toner is critical to accurate colour reproduction.

Ultraprecise spherical colour toners

Most toner is mechanically grown, which produces an irregular toner particle.

Our chemically grown colour toners are spherical in shape, with highly consistent colour. The particles are very small in size, allowing for very precise placement to create colours that are more accurate and consistent.
