How your Laser Printer works!

How Does Your Laser Printer Work?

I remember some years ago when a new guy started at Glen's who no longer works with us asked (while in front of a customer)  "What's a toner"?

So what is toner?  Simply put its a powder based printing medium that is sprinkled onto your paper during the printing process. It then passes through a fuser unit that heats the toner onto the paper. That is why your paper is warm when it comes out of the laser jet printer.

Watch the following short video to show you how your laser printer works.

What is the difference between original and compatible?

The simple answer to the question is a compatible is an alternative brand which is designed to work with your printer.  The advantage of a compatible is the difference in cost.  The biggest disadvantage is that compatibles are generally refurbished parts.  However, if you purchase a re-manufactured/compatible toner from a reputable supplier like ourselves your compatible cartridge will be fully guaranteed and will be offered a free of charge replacement.

The con of the on-line auction site.

If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.  Some toners may have been drilled and refilled, incorrect images against the product or wording could  mislead into thinking you have purchased an original cartridge. So be careful when you buy on-line from a company or web-site you have never heard of.

Keep Yourself Safe!

It will never happen to me!  How many times have you heard someone say that.  Maybe you have said it to yourself on a number of occasions.  The question is How many have said those words before it did happened to them?  One of the easiest ways to have your identity stolen is by you.   When you receive letters with your details on, how do you destroy them? Do you just throw the letter in the bin or do you safely destroy it? 

We have a wide range of shredders to choose from, from stripped cut to cross cut which is more confidential.  Contact us for further details and we will provide the right shredder for your needs.

What about company security and identity theft?  Companies and businesses can be fined up to £500,000 for breach of the data protection act.  Do you have all waste paper securely shredded?  Do you receive a certificate of destruction when you have your waste paper destroyed?  Did you know that if you do not receive a certificate of destruction, you are still liable of breach of data protection act even if the sensitive/confidential data has left your building?  Sobering thought!

We have now partnered up with the Shred Centre to offer you total secure shredding.  Let us quote you and take the worries away from waste paper destruction.
