Toner nikintu nyamukuru gikoreshwa mugukoresha kopi ya electrostatike no gucapa laser. Igizwe na resin, pigment, inyongeramusaruro nibindi bice, kandi kuyitunganya no kuyitegura birimo gutunganya neza cyane, gutunganya imiti, ibikoresho bikomatanya nibindi bice. Nibicuruzwa byubuhanga buhanitse bizwi kwisi. Usibye ibintu by'ibanze biranga toner yumukara nko kugena ubushyuhe, gutembera, no gutera imbere biranga, toner yamabara nayo ikubiyemo guhitamo pigment no kwihuta kwumucyo, kandi nibicuruzwa bigezweho. Toner yamabara ikoreshwa cyane mugucapisha no gukoporora laser, hamwe niterambere ryikoranabuhanga ryamakuru, ikoranabuhanga ryurusobe hamwe no kuvugurura ibyuma byo mu biro ndetse no gukundwa cyane kwicapiro rya laser, kopi ya laser digitale na kamera ya digitale. Kandi mu cyerekezo cyo gusiga amabara no gukoresha digitale, isoko ryamabara ya toner iragutse cyane.

Nk’uko bigaragara mu mwaka wa 2022, ubushakashatsi bwakozwe ku isoko ry’ibara ry’Ubushinwa hamwe na raporo y’iterambere ry’iterambere ryashyizwe ahagaragara n’urusobe rw’ubushakashatsi mu nganda, isoko rya polymer toner ryerekana uburyo bwihariye. Kubera inzitizi zikomeye za tekiniki, umusaruro nubuhanga bwumwimerere kandi uhuza amabara ya polymer toner ahanini biri mumaboko yamasosiyete make mubuyapani. Gusa Ubuyapani bwo mu bwoko bwa Mitsubishi Chemical, Fleston ya Ningbo, isosiyete hamwe n’andi masosiyete bifite ubushobozi bwo gukora amabara ya polymer toner ihuza ibara, kandi ibyinshi mu bikoresho byamabara ya polymerized yagurishijwe ku isoko ryimbere mu gihugu bikozwe na Mitsubishi Chemical.
Hamwe nubwiyongere bwibisabwa buri mwaka hamwe nabantu bafite fotokopi na printer ya laser, toner, nkibikoresho byingenzi bikoreshwa na fotokopi na printer ya laser, nabyo biriyongera uko umwaka utashye. Mu isoko ryicapiro ryabashinwa, abakoresha printer ya inkjet batangiye guhinduranya buhoro buhoro printer ya laser. Hamwe nogutezimbere imikoreshereze yabantu bakurikirana amabara kandi bakungukirwa no kwiyongera kwamamara ryamacapiro yamabara, icyifuzo cya toner yamabara kigenda cyiyongera cyane kurenza icya toner yumukara Ubushinwa bwateje imbere laser printer ya toner ubwoko bwa moderi na moderi ni mbarwa, gusa ibigo byihariye birashobora. umusaruro-mwinshi-wohejuru wamabara ya laser printer toner, burimwaka ifu yamabara yo murugo ahanini ishingiye kubitumizwa hanze, isoko rinini ryamabara ya toner ryigaruriwe nibirango byumwimerere hamwe nibicuruzwa byo hanze byapakiye mubihugu, tekinoroji yumusaruro nisoko byihariwe namasosiyete yamahanga kandi ibirango. Igiciro cya tonier yumwimerere gikomeje kuba kinini, abaguzi ntibashobora kwihanganira ikiguzi kinini cyo gukoporora, gucapa, kubwibyo, isoko ryimbere mu gihugu risaba ko habaho ubwishingizi bufite ireme, hamwe n’ibiciro by’ibicuruzwa biva mu bicuruzwa bya toner, ibigo bifitanye isano n’ibigo by’ubushakashatsi mu bya siyansi bakeneye byihutirwa kwiga tekinoroji yo gutegura ifu yamabara yo murwego rwohejuru, ikemure ikibazo cyinyuma cyiterambere ryibikoresho byimbere mu gihugu, no guca monopole yibirango nibicuruzwa byo hanze.

Hamwe nogukenera gukenera gucapa amabara ya laser hamwe na kopi, icyifuzo cya toner yamabara nkibikoreshwa byingenzi byimashini zamabara ziragenda ziyongera, kandi igipimo cyacyo mugiciro kigenda cyiyongera kandi kinini, ndetse gishobora no kurenga ikiguzi cyimashini ubwayo, bityo ibara rya toner ryahindutse irushanwa rishyushye mumasoko y'ibicuruzwa byo mu biro, kandi isoko ryagutse cyane.
