Who doesn’t want to save money? With today’s economy, everybody wants to save as much money as possible. In order to do so, you have to be smart and interested in understanding how to repair certain things. Whenever you have any technical problems in your home or office, you should see if it looks like a simple task, and if it does, you should fix it yourself to save some money instead of paying someone else to do it. Sometimes the problem can be fixed right then and there without any expertise and instead you end up paying between 50-100 dollars just to get someone out to your location to look at your machine. Printers need to maintained or need the cartridges to be replaced or refill in order for them to keep working properly. Instead going to places that do toner cartridge refill, you can keep the same toner cartridge and refill it yourself and money. How do you refill a cartridge? Below are some steps involved in refilling cartridges.
Steps to Refill
1) The first thing you need to do is to find a good toner refill kit. You can search online on many different websites to find a decent kit at a reasonable price.
2) Now that you have the kit, get your toner cartridge and clean it before filling it. You have to get the developer roller cleaned before you proceed to feed the toner. Completely wipe it with a dry, clean cotton cloth to remove all the traces of the previous matter.
3) Next you’ll fill hopper with the toner. Align it right so that it doesn’t spread everywhere or fall out. Gently pour the toner in to the cartridge and then seal it properly to avoid any trouble while printing documents. That’s it! It is done as simple as that
Some important things to keep in mind are that you can use the same toner cartridge only up to three times; if you use it longer than that, you will notice the prints will be getting lighter and not as clear. If you notice the decrease in quality before or half way through the third cycle of your toner, then it is time for it to be repalced.
When you are ready to dispose of an old toner cartridge, don’t just throw in the trash, get it recycled instead. There are many companies that recycle old cartridges; some even give you store credit or cash for your old empty cartridges.
Benefits of going for self refilling
1) The major benefit of refilling your own cartridges is that you save a lot of money that would have otherwise been invested in buying new toner cartridge.
2) You are able to extract the maximum from the product you initially paid for.
3) By doing it yourself, you also saved on the cost of getting it refilled by expert technician.
4) After using the cartridge, you can sell it to companies that are in the recycling business.
These were some of the tips and benefits of how to refill your toner cartridge on your own. Hope it helped you.
