He didn't like/prefer the squeeze-bottle tip/funnel;       he fashioned his own out of paper, which worked out nicely after filling       because he could just crumple the paper and avoid the messy toner residue.              Also, he just 'tore into' the cartridge to make a hole, altho' it looked       like he had an unused electric tool which one of the toner sources sells       for $14 as their recommended method of accessing. That struck me as a       surprise; why not use the tool if he had one right there?              > Although you can use a utility knife, it is much easier to use one of our       hole-making tools. It is the cleanest, easiest way to complete the refill       process. To purchase a hole-making tool, click HERE.              I watched another vid. I'm getting 'smarter and smarter' (ie less       completely ignorant :-)              Neither of these vids is about the OP specific cartridge. Some cart/s       have a refill port w/ a cap; some cart's refill kit can buy or include a       heat-based hole maker which is better than drilling or 'tearing into'       the cartridge because it also includes a cap/plug the right size for the       heat-created hole.              Some vid commentary discussion mentions the 'problem' about dealing w/       the cart's waste toner, which neither vid has addressed. The 2nd vid       also says that some cartridge refill kits also need (or include) a chip       to replace the existing chip (to monitor residual toner) or the       cartridge won't function.                     --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
