hola disculpa como se llaman los cuadritos con los que sellaste el toner

[@maryhenao6775]

Cuanta cantidad de polvo hay que aplicarle al tóner?

[@acarroca]

do you believe it will work with white toner ? (i know, if the system is pretty clear and no black toner residuals)

[@InkOwldotcom]

Toner is particular for each printer model, it's not universal. So, you would need a white toner that's designed for this series of HP printer. If you can find such a product, then great, but usually white toner is only made for OKI printers.

[@tookmyhandle2]

I have a printer that uses these, and my cartridges are "introductory" cartridges. Does that mean that the vinyl container inside the cartridge is smaller than standard? Will it hold as much toner as a standard cartridge during a refill?

[@InkOwldotcom]

The sac inside the cartridge will hold the same amount as a standard cartridge. You can refill introductory cartridges completely normally.

[@satriadigital2802]

When refilling the toner, what should I do before removing the remaining toner?

[@InkOwldotcom]

It is good to do the bypass procedure (see 2:06) and continue printing until the print quality really starts to suffer. This way, when you do empty the remaining toner, there will be very little to dump out.

[@satriadigital2802]

What will happen if I mix the old ink powder with a new one, but with the same brand?

[@obtainiumgaming4472]

Hello. Are HP 201a and 201x carts the same and they just put less in them? Can I refill a A cart to X capacity and what are the toner amounts for each? Thanks.

[@InkOwldotcom]

The cartridges are physically the same size. However, with the internal toner sac, it's actually quite hard to fill the full X capacity load inside. Regardless of which cartridges you have, I'd recommend filling only with the A yield. Our toner kits are based on this and include 35g of black and 30g of color for 1500 pages of black or 1400 pages of color (at 5% ISO page coverage).

[@davideckersley340]

Hi 254 uses the 203 toner. Is the rest procedure the same?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Yes, the procedure is the same.

[@robertkillion9219]

Do I need to refill all cartridges, including the color cartridges, or can I only refill the black cartridge without refilling the color cartridges?

[@InkOwldotcom]

You don't need to refill all the colors at once, you can refill only the ones you need!

[@capcsubasa]

hola consultas entonces rcargarndo no es necesario cambiarlos chips asi salga agotado en la pantalla ?

[@InkOwldotcom]

¡Exactamente! La impresora mostrará la advertencia de bajo tóner, pero funcionará de todos modos. Simplemente siga las instrucciones en el video para evitar el error.

Thank you... Printer manufacturers maybe not making money for the printer but cartridge ? WOW you cant imagine.. thats their big trap

[@serviciotecnicokonicaminol3201]

entonces no es necesario cambiar chip´? funciona para todos los colores o solo es para el negro?

[@InkOwldotcom]

¡Exactamente! Esto funciona para todos los colores, no solo para el negro.

[@idrisal-zeheimi6136]

I have followed your procedure in filling the black cartridge. but when I install it in my printer it doesn't print any thing. all colors are printing except black. what is the problem?

[@InkOwldotcom]

It is very difficult to say. Do make sure that you filled into the compartment with the white sac inside! Also, do make sure the toner was compatible with this printer, and not for a different model.

[@idrisal-zeheimi6136]

inkowl.com Thanks. Do I have to replace the chip? or remove it? or enough to change the sitting of the printer as you described

[@izmirtoner7856]

How many times may I refill this toner ? 2 or three? When the chip reaches zero ? Thank you.

[@InkOwldotcom]

The quality of your prints will naturally deteriorate with repeated refills of the cartridge. But, typically, 3-4 refills is the most you can get before the cartridge needs to be changed. However, it's not the act of refilling itself that deteriorates the cartridge, but rather printing thousands and thousands of pages, so if the cartridge still printed fine before it ran empty, then it can still be refilled again.

[@muadiltoner1464]

Thank you for your kind answer. But I wanted to ask about toner chip's life. For exp , my print quality is normal , I have changed toner opc drum , may I refill for 4 times (example 4 times I said ; 3 , 5 times it does not matter) ? I want to ask does the toner chip let it to be ? Does it have a life ? for exp 10.000 pages etc?

[@juan111276]

the you have white ink for m254dw

[@InkOwldotcom]

No, we don't carry white toner, sorry.

[@MrDeckPC]

How many refills before the cartridge dies?

[@InkOwldotcom]

You can usually get 3-4 refills of decent quality. The quality of your prints will naturally deteriorate with repeated refills of the cartridge. However, it's not the act of refilling itself that deteriorates the cartridge, but rather printing thousands and thousands of pages, so if the cartridge still printed fine before it ran empty, then it can still be refilled again.

Ver a 2:07 en el video. Es necesario configurar la impresora para continuar de imprimir cuando el nivel de tóner está vacío.

@@InkOwldotcom si lo hice tal como indica el vídeo! Y no imprimía. Pero ahora ya imprime! Gracias. Sólo que ahora el cartucho azul desprende tinta y las hojas salen salpicada! De azul. La limpio y la limpio y nada, está bien tapada, creo que la Tinta sale de donde está la forma circular color azul.

[@johnychan8001]

Will it work ? If not replace chip??

[@InkOwldotcom]

Yes, as described in the video, by setting the Very Low Setting to Continue, the printer will continue printing indefinitely.

HOW TO PURCHASE INK

[@InkOwldotcom]

You can order direct from us at inkowl.com

[@arrep]

so only we can print in low setting?

[@InkOwldotcom]

You can print when the toner level is empty by following the bypass procedure in the video, yes.

[@tecnobytecorp]

this procedure is in all model or firmware ?

[@jakese7en1]

low setting, means the printer will notify you of low toner level. It doesn't mean lower quality prints.

[@speedygonzales3247]

Are you all still in business?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Yes, of course! You can visit us at www.inkowl.com

[@yvonnew5705]

sound like that mess going to leak out and be messy.

[@InkOwldotcom]

It is very important to properly tape the hole after refilling. The aluminum duct tape we provide is very solid for this purpose, but you want to apply it very generously, even more so than shown in the video.

[@Meekerextreme]

It's a power how is it going to leak out?

[@belebele1982]

My printer if out of warranty and I don't understand why HP keeps messing with the firmware to force me to buy HP toners. I worked for HP and I would never purchase a different brand. I have my laserJet 4000 series which is a work horse. I've had it since they came out and I also have a color laser jet I purchased at costco. I know HP makes money on the ink and it is good quality ink. Sorry HP I don't print pictures. Not many people do. I don't need good quality ink to print emails or mundane stuff. It is my printer and should be able to put wherever 3rd party ink I want. Isn't what they are doing kind of monopoly?
