Whenrepparttar drum, with it's latent image, rotates torepparttar 107191 toner area, it attracts toner torepparttar 107192 drum only whererepparttar 107193 latent electrical image is. In other wordsrepparttar 107194 toner is attracted torepparttar 107195 electricity that's left onrepparttar 107196 drum inrepparttar 107197 form ofrepparttar 107198 latent image I just discussed. At this point there is a visible image onrepparttar 107199 drum made up of toner. Whenrepparttar 107200 drum rotates furtherrepparttar 107201 toner is transferred torepparttar 107202 paper that is now passing throughrepparttar 107203 printer. The toner is pulled offrepparttar 107204 drum by another corona strip or wire that has a higher voltage thanrepparttar 107205 drum thus releasingrepparttar 107206 toner ontorepparttar 107207 paper. This corona is belowrepparttar 107208 paper sorepparttar 107209 paper is passing betweenrepparttar 107210 corona andrepparttar 107211 drum. If you removedrepparttar 107212 paper fromrepparttar 107213 printer at this point you would be able to seerepparttar 107214 image onrepparttar 107215 paper, but don't sneeze because you could blowrepparttar 107216 image right offrepparttar 107217 paper. Afterrepparttar 107218 image is transferred torepparttar 107219 paper it must then pass throughrepparttar 107220 fixing or fuser rollers where a combination of heat and pressure permanently bondsrepparttar 107221 toner ontorepparttar 107222 paper.

Sometimes toner gets onrepparttar 107223 coronas which can cause black or white streaks. Some laser cartridges come equipped with corona cleaners. Other parts that can go bad arerepparttar 107224 cleaning blade that cleansrepparttar 107225 drum orrepparttar 107226 drum itself can wear out. Replacing these parts goes way beyond this article.

Mostly, laser cartridges just run out of toner andrepparttar 107227 other parts are fine. The prices of some laser cartridges can go well over $100.00 so a few refills can really save you a bundle of money.

Recycling Inkjet Cartridges

Written by Barry Shultz


Continued from page 1

Now keep in mind that they do not buy just any cartridge. They are mostly interested in those cartridges that contain print heads, like HP, Lexmark, Dell, Some Canon, Apple, Some Brother, Sharp and older Xerox cartridges.

The reason is because cartridges that are just ink tanks, i.e.repparttar print head is permanently mounted inrepparttar 107190 printer, are cheap forrepparttar 107191 generic market to reproduce. So there is no profit in commercially refilling them.

Also, in order to keeprepparttar 107192 highest quality, they are mostly interested in virgin cartridges, those that have never been refilled. You may find some companies buying once refilled cartridges but at a substantially lower price. Many will just tell you up front that they must be virgin cartridges.

These empty cartridge buyers are easy to find. Just do a Google search something like this, "we buy empty inkjet cartridges". I got over 95,000 results with that search.
