Don't refill your laser toners

Don't refill your laser toner...just don't.

Yea, be sure to use HOT water to wash the toner off of your hands!

Obviously this is because little animated red bricks will fall down on your yellow face and that would be embarrassing to attend your next meeting with red brick all over your face.

Unless of course if you worked remotely and they couldn't see your face. Well then, you could even make gurning faces at the speaker phone and no one would know, would they?

Think about it.

Its just a silly process.

The drum is light sensitive? And scratches? Now I have lines going across my printed pages.

Then there is the toner itself. You make sure you're extra careful to get it in and don't spill a single bit. Put the plug back on and its such a fine powder that is leaks around the plug! So then you try all sorts of things all the while a little fine toner powder spills out. Finally you end up super gluing the plug in.

Now I have a toner that is full and a drum that I guess got scratched. Wiping it with a soft cotton made it better but the drum probably needs replaced nonetheless.

I refill, no problems. Put drum in sink and pour the toner slowly through funnel. Mess small and easily washed away.

Anything leak out around the plug? Perhaps I damaged the seal on the plug?

Ok guys, I bought a big plastic container (2 kg worth) of toner a couple of years ago and could not figure out where to put the stuff.

Anyone have a link on a link on "refilling toner cartridges for dummies" that you could pass along? Its for an HP 4050 unit.

Also, don't drop and break a cannister of laser toner in a public place. People FREAK out. They think it's anthrax or something. I guess people have seen too many episodes of 24.

Maybe it is time to simply buy another printer with the toner pre-installed...

Just sayin'

Don't refill your laser toner with MOX fuel pellets.

They do NOT stick well to the paper.

Ash from the Fasariak tree cultured for 3 years. Needles from the red-nosed siberian mountain porcipine. Microscope. Disipline.

Who needs printers?
