Which uses more toner ink? recycled paper or regular?

They use the same amount of toner if the settings are the same for each paper. The amount of toner is determined by the imaging system not by the type of paper. The quality of the image formed is probably effected by the type of paper and so if the printer can be set to different settings for different types of paper it will certainly used different amounts of ink because of the different settings.





Generally the image quality will be affected by the whiteness, smoothness, and the absorption characteristics of the paper. Recycled paper is not as white and has more variability in fiber sizes than paper made from virgin fibers. Therefore it is harder to make recycled paper of with equal imaging quality. However, recycled paper can offer good mid-range quality. The highest quality photo paper would have very low recycled content though.Which uses more toner ink? recycled paper or regular?

Your printer has a setting that regulates the amount of ink it uses during a print job. It will use the same amount whether you print on regular paper, recycled paper, sponge, or a paper bag.





Hope this helps.
I would think that recycled paper would use more toner ink because it is probably more porous than ';new'; paper. Like an old washed towel absorbs more water than a new unwashed towel would....just my guess though.
I don't know, but if you want to use less ink when you print and it is just for text, put your printer on a ';draft'; output and if you don't require colour use the ';greyscale'; button. This way you use less ink and I don't find that it effects the look of what I am printing much.
