Types of toner
There are two basic kinds of toner: magnetic and non-magnetic. If your laser printer has a Cannon 'engine' it most likely uses magnetic. NEVER use the wrong type. The imaging process is extremely delicate and specific toners are important. Use of toner that is slightly different could result in all black or all white copies.
Choosing the right paper, setting resolution, making "test-strip" prints, adjusting color and tonal range and even
finding creative ways to display prints are all nicely covered. A nice section on creating panoramic prints, too.
