Choosing Between a Powder Toner and a Liquid Toner
 
As mentioned above, there are advantages and disadvantages for each type of laser toner. Basically, when you use a liquid laser toner you will not have to wait for your printer to warm-up first before you can print.
 
The texts and images are also more attached to your paper. 
 
On the other hand, with a powder laser toner, you don’t have to wait for your printed material to dry before you can touch it. Liquid toners usually smudge or smear on paper when you touch your printed material directly from the printer. 
 
The colors also appear more vivid when you use a laser toner in powder form. With a powder laser toner however, you have to know the size of the powder particles in order to see how finely-printed your materials will appear.
 
The smaller the particles, the better the resolution so always check this first before buying your powder laser toner.
