Thank you, I just cleaned our company's printer and it works perfectly! Your video saved us! (Considering that my boss planned to get a new printer because there was a sticky substance on the drums...)

[@jeoffer]

Clear and helpful video. Thank you.

[@olukayodeokunowo4631]

Very helpful. Thank you so much.

This made a huge difference for my HP4L with a new unopened (but very old) cartridge that was streaking!

[@viandant5]

HP 4L, I remember it. very old printer

important information, thank you.

Electrical contact circuit cleaner spray contains isopropyl alcohol . It also evaporates very quickly and you can get it from most Car Spares Stores Shop's. Just a thought if you can't easily buy the bottle version

[@viandant5]

probably it contais addittives. however better to spray it not directly on the drum

[@autumnjeserich2689]

your videos are so good and informative

Very useful and practical video. Had a question. If there are bands of color toner on the transfer belt, is it a drum problem or transfer belt issue? I cleaned the transfer belt, but when I I print again after cleaning the belt, it shows up again on the transfer belt and also on my print. Any suggestions?

[@viandant5]

I think it's a transfer belt problem. if the bands are vertical probably the wiper blade

[@georgezachariah8332]

Thank you so much@@viandant5 for your feedback. Appreciated that. Is the viper blade something that I could replace or just replace the transfer belt? It is a OKI 920 wt printer.

[@viandant5]

@@georgezachariah8332 Yes it could be replaced but I think it's difficult to find. May be on alibaba. However without checking the printer I can't be sure

[@georgezachariah8332]

Thank you. You do some great and valuable service to us by sharing your knowledge @@viandant5 . God bless you

[@georgezachariah8332]

Hello- I replaced the transfer belt and I am still getting the bands of color toner on the transfer belt. Can you think of anything or have any further suggestion? @@viandant5

[@billyhamlen9610]

thank you for the video........I have recently moved to a new place, my old xerox laser jet starts printing dark shadow on both edges of the paper. Will this solve the problem?

I don't know the modeò of your printer but I think you can try

Hello I have an hp colorlaserjet pro mgp m182n that uses hp 216a color toner cartridges . The problem I am facing is that whenever I replace drum of black cartridge , it's intensity of black in every print increases, slight outline of black comes around some words and whole page is kind of blackish. This happens with every new drum. Can you kindly tell cause of this issue and how can that be solved?

In the control panel there are the settings

[@mike-gq1gt]

can i clean the whole cartridge and refill with another color? would that work?

yes but it depends on which toner you use to refill the cartridge

no it will ruin the drum

Ciao, ho pulito il tamburo del toner della mia Samsung ML-2010R. Il tamburo, dopo averlo pulito, continuava a risultare sporco di toner ogni volta che lo facevo ruotare a mano. Poi ho rimontato il toner e la stampa risulta sempre sporca. Posso fare qualcosa per evitare che il tamburo si sporchi? Ti ringrazio in anticipo. Salvatore

[@viandant5]

Forse la lama di pulizia è difettosa, oppure oòtpner ha preso umidità o è ormai vicino all'esaurimento ed occorre sostituirlo

[@user-dg9ju9eh2u]

Grazie mille per la risposta. Posso aggiungere toner nel serbatoio e verificare se riprende a funzionare bene?@@viandant5

So just curious, in my printer, when I remove one of the cartridges, it tells me I put in a used, or counterfeit cartridge, and doesn't know how many prints I have left in that cartridge. Is there a way to avoid that?

[@viandant5]

which printer and what do you want to avioid? the error message?

[@FeCAzorius]

@@viandant5 an HP color laserjet printer m477. When I had removed one of the cartridges, when I was replacing some of them, I removed one that I wasn't replacing. When I put it back in, it gave me an error message stating it was either used or something and would no longer tell me how much ink it feels is in the printer. So I have no idea when it's going to run out. But before I removed it, it did tell me. So I'm just wondering if there is a way to remove one of the cartridges, clean it, and then put it back in without it thinking I "bought a used cartridge" and no longer telling me how much "ink" is left.

[@viandant5]

@@FeCAzorius Is it a compatible cartridge? the HP firmware updates have the purpose to create problems to compatible cartridges. WHen you removed it, the printer detect it as a new compatible cartridge and send that error message

[@FeCAzorius]

@@viandant5 Two things. 1. Are you saying it only provides that error if you pull an official cartridge and not on third party? 2. If I unplug my printer first, then pull out the cartridge, clean it, put it back in, will it still send that error message? On official and 3rd party ink?

[@viandant5]

@@FeCAzorius Hp make everything to create problems to compatible cartridges, especially when you update the firmware

what happens if you touch the drum with your finger?

[@viandant5]

probably nothing but may be your fingers are dirty and you have to claen the drum with isopropyl alcohol

[@Abdullah_jadalla]

Can j use water instead

[@viandant5]

water will not clean the drum very well

[@toddcoon1730]

Dont touch the drum with your fingers? You just rolled with your fingers for 3 minutes.

[@viandant5]

on the sides

[@lexolexoh]

Probably highest percentage concentration isopropyl is best eh? 99%

[@viandant5]

may be but 90% is enought

[@sadge0]

Didnt help 😢 It was dirty, but removing the powder didn't change anything, it still leaves long slightly noticeable marks all over the sheet...

[@viandant5]

The cleaning does not work if the drum is defective
