Re: [Emc-users] OT: printer toner
Thank You, guys, for advice! 2013/3/25 Steve Blackmore st...@pilotltd.net: On average you will get 2 or three refills before the drum is shot anyway and you need a new cartridge.

[Emc-users] OT: printer toner
Hello! Here comes an cnc-unrelated question: is there any difference in all the different laser printer toners that are available on ebay? I hacked up our laser printer so that it allows diy refillling and won't lock up after certain number of pages and I have started to look around for the toner itself. The thing is that sellers on ebay specify that some particular package is meant for some particular printer models. The thing is that I would like to purchase some larger bottles of the toner, which is not supposed to be used for my printer. For example, I found this seller: http://stores.ebay.com/aaatonercalifornia The question is - are there any differences with the toners (like fraction size of the powder etc) or is that just a marketing BS and I can safely use whatever I can find there? Thanks in advance! -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Yes - there are differences. Universal toner can be purchased and may work well with your printer, then again it may screw up the fuser or drum. On average you will get 2 or three refills before the drum is shot anyway and you need a new cartridge. Steve Blackmore -- -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Higher resolution printers generally require finer toner particle size. Using too fine a toner for your printer can result in a mess with toner getting into places it's not supposed to. Some toners are actually metal coated with plastic. There's a magnetic roller which picks up toner from the cartridge. Some of those use a low power transmitting antenna buried in the toner as a level sensor. When the toner level drops and unshields the antenna, the printer senses the toner is low/out. Always wear a good dust mask when refilling toner. Inhalation is a risk, can lead to lung diseases similar what coal miners get. -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Re: [Emc-users] OT: printer toner
I have been refilling cartridges for years and yes there is a difference. Find a good toner supplier and stick with them. I can get about 2-3 refills and then the cartridge is shot - at least that is true for the Sharp cartridges I refill. Dave On 3/24/2013 4:06 PM, Viesturs Lācis wrote: Hello!
