Ink And Toner Cartirdges, How To Tell When They Need Replacing.

Fax machines, copiers and printers use toner for printing. It comes in the form of a ready to use cartridge which is installed straight into the machine, It is not recommended to use anything other than the correct cartridge for the correct machine.

Printers and copiers can have their working lives extended by using the correct toner cartridge, and it's important to know when these need replacing. It's common for the machine to give a warning that the toner is running out before it actually needs replacing. An LED lights up, despite the fact that it is still printing ok.

In instances like this, you know the machine is able to print quite a few more copies before the ink exhausts itself, so you can actually safely print a few hundred more pages before the print quality deteriorates. To get this to go that little bit further you can shake the cartridge. This revives the level of the toner and helps to get a bit more value for money out of it. However if you are printing a big job, it is always best to insert a new cartridge if the low message appears.

Always make sure that you have a replacement cartridge available, that way if the low signal comes on, because there is nothing worse than being caught out without a spare, especially if you have a big print job pending.

I hate that feeling of having to get out 100 packs for an Annual General Meeting, only to find that in the middle of it all, you have 2000 blank copies of ruined paper and a 2 hour deadline, but no cartridge.

Don't remove these ink cartridges unless they have to be replaced - this is important. Toner cartridges are not environmentally friendly, and are a potential health hazard. If you do spill it, you should immediately wash it off your skin and be aware that it is almost impossible to remove from clothing

The expiry date on toner cartridges applies whether they have been opened or not. Find a local recycling centre who can dispose of them for you. Some recycling centres donate some of their proceeds to local charities, so it's worth contacting local charities to see if they can recommend a recycling operation.

No matter how interested you are in finding out how toner cartridges work, do not try and dismantle them as there are always specific local rules as to disposal. They need to be recycled correctly as they cannot be put in the ground, due to contamination issues.

Like all things, handling toner ink cartridges requires care. Stick to the manufacturers recommendations and you will be just fine. If you have any questions or concerns, it is always a simple matter to just pick up the telephone and either call the supplier or your local waste management company.
