Four General Methods: 

For Refilling Toner Cartridges

Unplug and Fill - (Simplest method) Remove the toner hopper plug and slowly refill with laser toner. Replace the plug and you are ready to go.  This type of cartridge includes a number of Epson, Samsung, Sharp, Tektronix and Xerox laser models.  **

Unscrew, Unplug, and Fill

This method requires you to remove some screws that release a panel on the end of the cartridge.  Now pour in your laser toner.  Replace plug, panel and screws.  The Minolta QMS 2200 and 2300 fall into this refill style.  In these specific models certain reset procedures must also be followed as outlined in our instructions packet but it’s nothing you can‘t handle. In some models this method can get more technical but it is always doable.  ** 

** Often the hopper plug is damaged when it is removed.  We include replacement refill caps at   no extra charge with every order of toner where the caps are needed.

Melt and Pour -  This method of refilling does not disturb the inner workings of your cartridge and is the most reliable method there is to refill a cartridge. It is completely superficial. Contrary to what cartridge remanufactures lead you to believe you can melt a hole into an empty (key word) laser cartridge without any complications. 

Using the melting tool, which is included in your Starter Kit a carefully placed hole is melt in the wall of the cartridge. The location of the hole varies with the type and model of the cartridge.  Included in your Starter Kit is a heat resistant adhesive patch that is used to cover the hole.  Most Hewlett Packard black printer cartridges are best tackled with this method, as well as the very popular Canon E30 copier. Our melting hole tool can be purchased separately or as part of your Starter Kit.  It can be used over and over again.

Open, Unplug, and Pour - In these cartridges you cannot get to the plug without doing some disassembling.  For example in the HP LaserJet 2 four plastic casing pins must be removed before you can get to your plug.  Once you reach the plug simply remove it and slowly pour in your toner. Then put it back together the same way you took it apart and your ready to print.  Tip … use a threading tool to remove the casing pins.  It’s not hard.

Like most mechanical things made these days there are always some unique styles of cartridges that do not fall into the categories described above … but they too are workable.
