The differences between color and monochrome (black and white) laser printer toner and drum in the mechanisms. These printers use a laser to create a model of electric charge on the drum. This is then used to collect the toner on the paper and roll. If a black and white printer, this is a color laser printer, this is done once for each color on the page and placed in several different places interpolated color toner to print variousShades and nuances.

Most of the additional cost of color laser printers has come from the extra wear and tear on the drums in the drum mechanism used for a typical laser printer good for a desktop printerapproximately 20,000 impressions before the point where they would not release toner (which is why they tend to strip drums worn slightly to one side or the center, leaving a sheet of paper) to get worn.
Advances in technology have increased the printer's drum top end - now have so many drums that are good for half a million pages or more ... but to do with the color laser printer with a separate pass for each color set, the general rule isa color drum which will last for about one quarter the number of pages as a drum would be in black and white print.
What is my progress in these drum life of the color laser printers are significantly less expensive is to purchase, and have become generally more economical to operate, as the number of suppliers has increased color toner, prices fall.

That said, many of them are now at the point where the cost of printing a color page with a modest amount of coverage (about 15% to 20% of the surface in colors), only two to three times more costly Press one side of a black and white printer. Even a reasonably complete coverage may be available with some of the higher-end models.
