So what is toner? Essentially, toner is the more modern version of printer ink. Before you had printer cartridges, then you had the sophisticated CISS (continuous ink systems) systems and now in some laser printers and copy machines, you have toner. Toner is a special type of ink that comes in powder form, rather than the liquid (that gets everywhere) that we're used to! This powder ink comes in a cartridge which you can insert into the printer. When your toner cartridge is empty you can simply replace it or have it refilled - but that shouldn't happen too often! 

Why is it so important? Because it's the ink, silly! You'll struggle to do any printing without it!
