To all of you saying that you are trying to refill your toner with ink...what??!! LOL. Laser printer cartridges do NOT use liquid ink. They use toner, a very fine powder. So saying you're trying to refill your toner with ink doesn't make any sense. Inkjet printers use liquid ink but laser printers are a whole other technology and the cartridges never run dry because toner powder is already dry. I've used various methods from refilling to buying cheaper aftermarket cartridges and the best thing for me is to purchase similar cartridges for older model printers and just swap out the parts that are different and put in a compatible chip. For example, I own an HP Color LaserJet M476dn that uses cartridges that look nearly identical to the ones used for an older HP Color LaserJet printer I own, a CM2320dn. The only difference between the two sets of cartridges is the plates on either side holding the cartridge together. I place a rubber band around each end so that they don't fall apart and remove the two screws on each side and transfer the end plates of my spent M476dn cartridges over to the body of the CM2320dn cartridges, replace the chip and viola, I got a much cheaper, yet still genuine set of carts for my M476dn. It's obviously a hassle and some people would rather pay more than go through all that but that method works well for me and sure beats paying the ridiculous (almost criminal, imho) $300+ I would have had to pay for new cartridges. Buying the older carts costs me a little over $100 for all four, sometimes cheaper depending on what's being sold on ebay. Refilling isn't for me...not only is it not true that it's very simple like this video claims but it's ALWAYS very messy and you really shouldn't be breathing in that ultra fine toner powder. It's so fine, it often behaves like liquid inside the container and imagine how much of that stuff that you can't see is in the air and going into your lungs. I got dizzy spells and sometimes felt as if I were going to pass out after refilling and that was with wearing a mask. It's a huge gassle and sealing the holes that you must make is surprisingly difficult. Tape does NOT cut it. You need to weld a piece of plastic over the hole to get a good seal. Tape simply won't work. It's like trying to keep water from spilling with tape. It will get all over the inside of your expensive printer and will discolor your prints. I would stay far away from refilling unless you can find a reputable place like Costco or Office Depot to do it for you.
What will you do with the dust in the waste dust container? The most efficient one is to completely remove the toner first, clean the waste dust container and the blades, then close it and fill it.
Calling it ink instead of toner is confusing some....just for future reference. Still, so very helpful!!! I've always heard toner replacement was so difficult, so was both surprised and pleased and will definitely try it! Helps the planet too. Thanks so much!
@@dabridalcenter264 its been a year so you probably don’t need any help with it but what you are describing is ink jet printers. This video is for laser printers. They use different types of ink
@@gjergji15 can i ask, i currently use inkjet. But interest to buy used laser jet and rather than buying the catridge i more like to refill like this to cut down cost. I know most printer especially inkjet has counter even those refillable printer also has counter on their head. If the inkjet use catridge ink then the catridge have counter even if you refill it you still wont able to print unless you reset the counter which is usually need third party apps. Does laser catridge toner have counter on them, like i refill it few times and then the counter will block the printer? Can it be reset or not?
corgLLC suppose my color powder is of bad quality, will it efect my whole printer or only cartridge (as i am going to experimanent by filling a food color powder into regular toner)
yes, you need to remove the shavings. The toner cartridge plastic is not brittle, so the shaving is a spiral string type of material, not hard to be removed.
@@GeniusAsian This printer is excellent and affordable. But does this printer have chip on the cartridge that records the number of prints there for preventing anymore on it? This printer is based toner (Black Only)
@@GeniusAsian Thanks! Just ordered a kit. It doesn't come with the computer chips but said in the write up they will tell me why in the instructions. Im just glad to save $350
Depending on the design, some design has a waste chamber (it is not easy to clean it), others would transfer waste back to the toner chamber by a roller during printing to blend unused toner with waste toner. Since you can't refill the toner unlimited times before tossing them out, and since breathing the power into your lungs is harmful, I can't recommend some complicated operations, or at least don't clean it every time your refill. My opinion.
yes but what about the chip do i need to change it too?
Thank you for the instructions and demo. You made it professional video. I liked your upload.

I can't find one for my printer in black I have HP HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 Series. Is 123inkjets a good alternative even if a bit more?
Very nicely explained

Thanks. Can you refill Kyocera laser printers?
God bless.
you may refill, but you need to deal with the chip
@@GeniusAsian Thanks how about a Brother HL-1210W is that easy to refill w/ 3rd party toners? Is there a chip reset app for both Brother and Kyocera?
Thank you so much for this!
Glad to help.

yes, clean it
What would be a good brand to use on a Lexmark laser printer?
I want to buy black powder toner PANTUM M7100DW TL-410X Can you tell me which vendor or website I can buy from

Oh and folding up the funnel= genius!
@@wormwood8191 yes, the disposable funnel solves the problem of cleaning. Cleaning is very important in this kind of operation.

How to recognize which type of ink do I need for a specific toner? There are so many brands. And where do I get the ink from? Thank you:)
when you buy ink/toner, you should enter your printer make and model to get the correct type.
Does this method work for an 83A cartridge. Recently I tried to refill the cartridge but it refused to print afterwards.

For getting color print from a regular black toner, can i refill my toner with color powder.. Will it work
the color is generated by mixing three prime color toners. If you only have one toner, then you will have a single color.
corgLLC suppose my color powder is of bad quality, will it efect my whole printer or only cartridge (as i am going to experimanent by filling a food color powder into regular toner)
not a good idea to use food color
lol
won't drilling cause plastic shaving to enter the cartridge and mess it up?
yes, you need to remove the shavings. The toner cartridge plastic is not brittle, so the shaving is a spiral string type of material, not hard to be removed.
Don't drill hole: ruclips.net/video/qtd41khfobQ/видео.html
Are laser toner generally the same for many brands of cartridges?
as long as it is compatible
thanks for the video!!!!

Does the ink from library works with any printer? (pantum P2000 series)
you need to match the ink with the printer you have. Different printers may require different type of ink.
@@GeniusAsian This printer is excellent and affordable. But does this printer have chip on the cartridge that records the number of prints there for preventing anymore on it? This printer is based toner (Black Only)
@@Lil0Kevin14 the printer shown in this video does not have a chip.
@@GeniusAsian Ok. So how exactly do you bypass or modify the chip controller for the print cycle if it did have one?
Thanks for the info.
thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
How do you check which toner will be compatible with your printer?
the toner manufacturer would determine the compatible toner, just input your printer's make and model number.
@@GeniusAsian Where is a reputable place to buy refills? Places like Staples only offer full cartridges.
@@milkywayandbeyond For Samsung laser printer, you may try this toner: amzn.to/2DaU0la
For Brother printer, you may try this toner: amzn.to/2WXpzpV
THANK YOU!!
What a savings! Xiexie pengyou!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
what the hell was the soldering iron and the drill used for?
some toners are sealed, you need to drill a hole or use soldering iron to melt a hole so that you can pour ink powder into the toner.

I thought you were supposed to empty the old stuff out before you put the new toner in???
yes, correct empty the old stuff. Thank you for taking the time to contribute, it will help other viewers
don`t you need to empty the waste ink chamber?
Depending on the design, some design has a waste chamber (it is not easy to clean it), others would transfer waste back to the toner chamber by a roller during printing to blend unused toner with waste toner.
