    Probably China :)
    Look, there is no such thing as "polymerize" toner and thats it.
    Just because it is CMYK powder, it's absolutely does not mean all toners are the same. The matter of fact furmulations can be different and unique not only from brand to brand, but between models as well. Magnetic properties and melting temp vary between toners for different brands/models.
    Most of the canon printers use carrierless development process and toner just being applied on magnetic roller in developer unit. In Toshiba printers, as far as know, developer (iron powder) is being used that toner mixes in to and being carried to magnetic roller and released on to drum. The difference in properties of toner for both these techlogies are huge and if cross mixed toner will likely to just spill out all over the machine.
    You have to buy make/model specific toner. With that being said, your question should be:
    Where can I buy toner for
    Canon such and such model
    Toshiba such and such model
    Now, keep in mind that usually, aftermarket toners are being developed for printers that use cartridges, i.e. cartridge that has developing unit and image unit built in.
    If your canon/toshiba devices use toner cartridge that is just a tube/box with toner it is very very unlikely that anyone refills it but possible that you can buy those cartridges aftermarket if model is popular enough.

    Thank you very much for your answer and suggestions.
    My business is rent a copiers and most are various model of Canon and Toshiba and are all secondhand machine.
    I think if I change to use better refill toner it can reduce the expenses and maintenance.

    English is not my native language as well, so we are good as far as that goes :)
    Look, what I am trying to say that "refills" i.e. bulk toner loads that you can refill empty toner bottles/cartridges may not exist for all/some of the machines you have in your inventory. More viable option could be good quality generic/aftermarket toner cartridges.
    I have done copier rentals in the past and what worked out best was NOT having bunch of different brands/models but rather as little as possible. We choosed a HP LaserJet 4345 MFP as a main machine and where customer had really high volume we offered Canon IR6075 style units, thats it! Having a variety of brands/models will force you to maintain huge stock of different parts, maintenance items and supplies for bunch of different machines and will tie up funds and cut in to profits.
    Just my opinion/experience.
