A toner cartridge is intended only for printers which use a method that requires powder (toner) to place images on a page. On the other hand, an ink or inkjet cartridge contains liquid ink and should only be used with printers who use liquid ink to place images on a page. Be sure to use the one that corresponds with your printer. Otherwise, you may end up ruining your machine!
