El tóner es un polvo negro muy fino negativamente cargado, lo que causa que sea atraído hacia los puntos con cargas positivas en la superficie del tambor. Así, después de una rotación completa, la superficie del tambor contiene toda la imagen a imprimirse en la página. [...] El tóner está especialmente diseñado para derretirse muy rápidamente, y un fuser (o fusionador) aplica calor y presión al papel para hacer que el tóner se adhiera permanentemente. 1, record 1, Spanish, - t%C3%B3ner

La Fundación del Español Urgente aclara que el plural en español de la palabra tóner es tóneres. [...] en español, además de ser el nombre del pigmento, también se usa tóner para denominar al cartucho o carcasa de plástico que lo contiene, es decir, se llama tóner tanto al contenido como al continente; de ahí que esa palabra también se use en plural y surjan las dudas: ¿es "los tóner", "los tóners" o "los tóneres"? 3, record 1, Spanish, - t%C3%B3ner

The bodyboard differs from a surfboard in that it is much shorter and made of foam. The board consists of a foam ’core’ encapsulated by a plastic bottom and a softer foam top known as the deck. The core is made up from dow/polyethylene, arcel or, more recently, polypropylene. Each type of foam gives the bodyboard a different amount of flex and control for the rider. 3, record 5, English, - bodyboard
