The fax machine has become the ubiquitous part of the office stationery for the last few years. It combines the facility of the phone and printing message anywhere across the world. Till emails became popular fax machines were the best option to receive information without the trouble of courier and hard copies. The fax copy is as good as original and is a good substitute. It works with the same formula as the printer does. The fax machine works o similar lines where a black toner cartridge is the main mechanism with which the print out is taken out. A fax roll is a special paper that is able to print the message or series of sheets. One can use the ink cartridge, fax ribbon or refill as the ink dries up.

There are many companies that are producing good quality fax toner cartridges and also refills for regular use. Since cost wise the refills are cheaper, they are in frequent use after the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) toner needs refilling. Bottled toner kits are available in the market at lower rates. Normally they are used to bring down the cost. Just as one time ink and ball point pens were refilled so do the fax machine toners can be refilled. The process is more advanced and the quality of printing is also better. One can also get remanufactured copier toners that also do a great job. These refilled toners are also environmentally friendly when they have to be disposed.
