Minolta Konica 2300 Toner
The supplies status indicator indicates e.g. black toner empty and messages
pops up after every print command. IMO the toner cartridge is not completly empty as it still has an uniform toner distribution on the supply roll and the print outs are still showing black in good contrast. Questions: Is it a problem to continue printing until the cartridge is completely exhausted ? Is it possible to refill the cartridge with e.g the toner I recover from my unused brandnew HP or Cannon cartridges ? TIA |

It is possible to get refills, or at least remanufactured cartridges for lasers, I wouldnt take the toner intended for a different machine and shove that in though (having said that depending on the epson involved they may have the same engine). If you have unusued bandnew cartridges for other machines couldn't you sell them to pay for (remanufactured) toner for your machine? -- Timothy |

TIA Using the toner cartridge until it starts to show poor print will do no harm at all. You should not use toner intended for other printers, there are lots of different toner brews even within one manufacturer. You might be lucky but you might also end up with appalling print results through contamination. Tony |
