Laser printer cartridge selection and maintenance

Printing supplies are also called consumables. Consumables, as their name implies, are components that are prone to wear. It is actually one of the printer spare parts. Some manufacturers simply refer to wearing parts as spare parts. The most critical part of the laser printer cartridge. Because it not only determines the quality of the print, but also determines the cost of printing. This is because in the laser printer, more than 70% of the imaging components are concentrated in the cartridge, and the print quality is actually determined to a large extent by the cartridge. The cartridge is also a consumable product in the printer. After a certain period of time and a certain number of sheets have been used, it needs to be replaced. Therefore, choosing a toner cartridge suitable for a laser printer has a lot of knowledge.

Laser printer cartridge selection

Cartridges are also known as photoconductor drums by professionals. It is the most critical and important part of a laser printer. Its quality directly affects the print quality of documents. Since about 70% of the key technologies in the entire printing process are concentrated on the cartridges, the technical content of the cartridges plays a decisive role in ensuring a stable printout quality. Currently, there are several types of toner cartridges for users to replace on the market: original cartridges, universal cartridges (also known as compatible cartridges), and cartridges for refilling cartridges. However, when you buy, you can find that the three toner cartridges are sold by different vendors. All of them are desperately bragging about the advantages of this type of product, so many friends can't start choosing.

Print quality is definitely the first factor that customers need to consider. It goes without saying that the original cartridge is obviously the best choice. The original toner cartridge has carefully considered the integration with other parts of the printer during the design process, and is compatible with the manufacturing process of the cartridge. Therefore, it can create an ideal printing effect and is much better than other compatible products. Only the original is too expensive, and the quality of the domestic toner cartridges is also very good and cheap. Users need to purchase toner cartridges. First, they must locate their own real application requirements. Users who do not have high quality requirements or who do not have a large number of prints can consider non-genuine products. Here, everyone is welcome to try out the universal toner cartridges produced by Zhuhai Hainan, and experience whether the quality of domestic toner cartridges has drawn a great distance with the world.

Cartridge maintenance method

1. Regular cleaning: Usually, the toner cartridge will be contaminated more or less after being used for a period of time. The characters and images output will be blurred, the bottom ash will be aggravated, and the characters will become longer. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the cartridge regularly. . Before cleaning, carefully remove the components of the cartridge, then use a skim cotton or advanced photographic lens paper to wipe off dust particles on the drum surface, but be careful not to use too much force to scratch the surface. Then use the same cotton or high-grade photographic lens paper, wipe the surface of the photoconductor drum cleaning agent to wipe the surface, wipe the direction should be taken in a spiral way to gently wipe, clean immediately after polishing with cotton cotton Wipe clean. Finally, a layer of talcum powder was gently applied to the surface of the drum with gauze containing talcum powder, and it was put back into use. The entire cleaning process was finally completed.

2, timely removal of waste powder: After a period of time with the powder plus powder, waste powder collected in the warehouse will continue to accumulate, which will affect the print output effect, a serious cause of the occurrence of powder leakage. (The so-called leakage of powder is because the waste powder has accumulated too much, so that the regenerated waste powder cannot enter the waste toner bin, and the waste powder in the waste toner bin will continue to “squeeze out” and cause the waste powder to overflow.) This phenomenon will directly lead to irregular black spots and black blocks on the output manuscript. If the waste powder is not removed and used continuously, the waste powder will accumulate and the friction pressure with the photosensitive drum will become tighter and tighter. Finally, the photosensitive drum coating on the surface of the photosensitive drum will be worn off, damaging the entire cartridge. The method of clearing is very simple. Simply open the collection bin and use a cotton swab or paper towel to remove the waste powder and remove it.

3, Do not let the cartridge work overload: There is a limit to the work load of any thing. The cartridge is a silicone photoconductor and there is also the problem of work fatigue. If you use it for a long period of time, it will affect the print output, and if you do, you will announce a strike. Therefore, the user must remember to give the cartridge a proper rest period. In general, if it is a continuous work with a large amount of output, it is recommended that you take a break in 8-12 hours, and if you use it for many years, it is best to use it for a period of time after being idle for a week or more. But this will certainly affect the user's work, so I suggest you buy more than two cartridges used interchangeably, so you can avoid the cartridge's fatigue and will not affect the work.
