Refilling methods

Toner refilling commonly occurs several ways:

Refilling and reuse by the end user. This is normally done by use of a DIY laser toner refill kit that includes a supply of compatible toner, reset chips where required, and instructions for the process of refilling. There are various types of toner powder, and many DIY toner refill products are available either online from ecommerce suppliers or through specialist retail stores.; Refilling and resale by the original manufacturer. It is common for toner cartridges to be sold with reply paid labels enabling them to be returned to the manufacturer for recycling and reuse.; Refilling and resale by a third party. Many independent companies who sell toner cartridges refill and reuse the original manufacturer's cartridges which they typically obtain from recycling companies. This is generally considered legitimate provided that the original manufacturer's branding is removed from the recycled product.; Refilling as a service. Many independent companies exist who offer a refilling service where customers can bring empty cartridges to be refilled. Toner refill franchises have sprung up over the last few years. Such refill chains offer services for customers to bring their empty toner cartridge and have it refilled on site or exchanges with a ready filled toner cartridge.;

Toner cartridges can not be refilled indefinitely. Cartridges include mechanical parts (such as drums and rollers) which eventually wear out and an electro-optical device (the drum) that can become depleted or scratched. Organizations refilling cartridges for resale generally clean and test each cartridge to ensure that it is fit for reuse and resale. While several sources offer empty inkjet cartridges to be filled with your choice of ink it is difficult to find brand new empty OEM laser cartridges. A further complication is that some models of laser print engines, like most inkjet printers, communicate with \"chips\" or fuses inside the toner cartridge which indicate that the cartridge is exhausted, whether or not it's actually functional. Some research is usually required to determine the feasibility of refilling any given cartridge.

In general, DIY refilling requires opening the cartridge (which was designed to prevent such activity), refilling the toner and capping the opening that was made to gain access. Some cartridges can be disassembled (carefully, lest you dump the toner contents all over yourself). Others require a hole to be drilled; vendors sell a soldering-iron-based device that melts a ~15mm hole in the plastic housing which is later closed with a plastic cap, or tape. There are only a couple of critical things to be aware of: all toner is not the same formula (it's not just a matter of quality), and in some cases there may be separate additions of toner and \"developer.\" If you buy a complete kit from a toner refill outfit for your model of device, it will generally include instructions for your particular printer or copier.
