Introduction

A toner cartridge, also known as a laser toner, is commonly used in laser printers. The cartridge contains toner powder which is a mixture of color agents and plastic particles that last longer than ink cartridges.

A leaking toner cartridge can leak inside the printer. The leaked toner can be cleaned using a dry, lint free cloth after taking out the cartridge from the printer. Although printer toner is not toxic, it can be harmful to sensitive organs such as the eyes. If printer toner gets on the body, wash it off with soap and water. If the toner gets into the eyes, flush the eyes with clean water.

Before using this guide, make sure that the problem is the toner cartridge and not any other external issues.
