This is a brief demonstration to show you how easy it is for you to refill your own toner cartridges
using the Uni-Kit toner refill kit.
The Uni-Kit toner refill kit comes with toner,
a funnel
and detailed illustrated step-by-step instructions on how to refill all types of toner cartridges,
as well as a plug
if applicable, and a hole-making tool (if applicable).
Different toner cartridges refill in different ways, and every model is explained in detail in
the detailed how-to instruction guide.
Over here we have different types of toner cartridges represented to show the general
principle behind refilling a toner cartridge.
Even though different toner cartridges look and feel a little different,
cartridges have a lot in common.
(different toner cartridges have a lot in common)
In particular, every toner cartridge
has a refill port through which you can add toner.
Some cartridges also have chips which may need to be replaced.
In this particular toner cartridge which is by Brother
(and as is the case with
all Brother brand monochrome toner cartridges as well as other types of cartridges)
the refill port is very easily identifiable on the side of the cartridge.
In this model, the refill port is covered by a plug
that can be easily removed up prying if off using a flat bed screwdriver.
Removal of the plug exposes the refill port,
and the toner then can be added through that refill port.
In order to pour the toner into the cartridge
you simply attach the refill funnel
to the top of the toner refill bottle,
and simply pour the toner into the cartridge.
When the cartridge is full,
you simply can plug the cartridge back with the same plug (that you removed earlier).
Other toner cartridges such as this color toner cartridge by HP (Hewlett Packard)
are a little different in that there is no visible toner refill port
so a refill port needs to be created. That is why we have the unique Uni-Kit toner hole
making tool.
The hole-making tool is a device that is either sold with the refill kit, or sold separately as an accessory.
It works by plugging into an AC power outlet
and rests on a hole making tool stand
while it warms up.
You want to be careful not to burn yourself with the tool.
When it's heated up,
hold the tool by the handle
and make a hole in the appropriate location as explained by the illustrated instruction guide
for thirty seconds - the pressure and heat applied to the cartridge will be sufficient to create a perfectly
round hole in the toner cartridge.
That hole becomes a refill port through which you will be able to pour toner.
As mentioned earlier, cartridges may at times
also come
with chips.
These chips are essentially memory devices that recognize how much toner is left in the cartridge and how
much has been printed.
When the cartridge has emptied,
the chips read empty.
Many toner cartridges will not function unless the chip
is replaced, so that the printer can recognize the cartridge as "full".
In order to replace the chip,
simply remove the chip by sliding it out (or prying it off)
and replacing it with a replacement chip (easy to slide back in place, or adhere with double sided adhesive which comes with the chip)
We sell chips as separate accessories.
These cartridges (once filled and chip replaced), would be ready to use.
Many other toner cartridges that look the same (and even those that look different)
can be refilled
using the same toner refill principles
of: (1) finding a hole (or creating a hole)
(2) filling with toner, and (3) sealing the hole. And in certain cases, (4)
adding a replacement chip.
To identify your toner cartridge and to to find the right refill product for you,
select the unique toner refill kit that's applicable to your specific
printer model
and follow the detailed instructions on how to refill your specific cartridge.pr
