At a generic level, Ink cartridges run on inkjet printers and contain a liquid, while Toner cartridges run on laser printers and contain a powder. But it goes a bit further than that too, especially when you factor in the costs between these two.

Ink Cartridge

These cartridges are built with a sponge base on whichever colors are necessary to hold all the liquid ink found in them. They are solely used for inkjet printers, which are the most common type of printers found in a person’s home due to the cheap costs of both the printer and cartridges. Most ink cartridges run around 10-30 dollars each and last for around 200-1000 pages.
