Moving along with our analysis,repparttar next in terms of difficulty, or ease, depending on how you want to read this article, is Epson. Epson's are generally not that hard to refill but still there are tricks that will help you succeed. The biggest problem I see with Epson cartridges, aside fromrepparttar 107192 chips, is it's easy to inject air which causes micro bubbles which results in spotty printing. Advanced Epson refillers know to extractrepparttar 107193 foamy air from an Epson cartridge before refilling it.

Last but not least isrepparttar 107194 easiest cartridge inrepparttar 107195 world to refill. Have you guessed yet? Repeat after me.... CANON BCI-3e and BCI-6. Canon does not use any technology on these cartridges which immediately gives them a leg up over Epson. These two cartridges are identical in physical form so from now on I will address them inrepparttar 107196 singular. The only problem with refilling this cartridge (actually more accurately a ink tank) is that if you don't get a good airtight seal overrepparttar 107197 refill hole it WILL leak. The best thing you can use is a hot glue gun. It sealsrepparttar 107198 hole very well andrepparttar 107199 bubble of glue is easily removed with your fingernail when It's ready forrepparttar 107200 next refill. We can't put a hot glue gun in a refill kit sorepparttar 107201 next best thing is a 4 x 3/8 stainless steel screw if you use a 1/16" drill bit to makerepparttar 107202 refill hole.

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.
