Refilling toner and ink cartridges is one of the easiest ways to lower the running cost of a printer – provided the cartridge is in good condition and the job is done with quality materials.
Signs your cartridge needs a refill
- Prints look faded or have light streaks.
- The printer shows a low toner or low ink warning.
- Text is patchy even after shaking the cartridge.
When refilling works best
- The cartridge body, drum and rollers are not damaged.
- Your volume of printing is regular, so cartridges are used up often.
- The refill is done by a technician who cleans and tests the cartridge.
When to replace instead
- The drum is scratched or worn, causing black lines or spots.
- The cartridge leaks or the chip no longer works.
- Print quality does not recover after a refill.
