Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I see that you have a tool to make a hole in the toner cartridge. Is that the way you remanufacture them when I purchase remanufactured toner cartridges from you?

A. No, the remanufactured toner cartridges that we offer are remanufactured by disassembling the toner cartridge, cleaning and replacing the parts that are worn out. The reason for this is because remanufacturing with the tool and plug is suitable when you don't need to ship the toner cartridge, and where you are familiar with the starting condition of the toner cartridge to be remanufactured. However, there are some toner cartridges that have pre-existing OEM toner hopper plugs, and there are also some that can't be remanufactured without making a hole to reach the toner hopper.

Q. Why are some of your toner bottles filled to different weights than those I have found on other websites?

A. Different toners have different densities. For example, a finer toner will have a lower density than a toner made up of larger particles. Because of this lower density, the weight of the amount of toner you will need to fill a toner cartridge will be less than if the toner was less dense (i.e. coarser). The amount of toner that we include in a bottle is in accordance with how much of our formulation of toner you would need to refill the cartridge and get a full page yield out of it. The density of the toner also affects how much toner will need to be picked up by the PCR during the printing cycle; if your toner is finer, you will tend to need less of it weight-wise to obtain an even coverage over the printed area.
